I noticed that, at least on some levels in Ham’o’ween, I get bonus points just for hitting a big boulder with a bird. I get 3000 or mopre points for example, for hitting the boulder at the top of the structure in 1-6. I don’t have to break the boulder, just hit it. Never noticed this before in previous Seasons updates. Is this something new? What’s the point behind this bonus, if any?
Been that way for a while, in all apps. Think of them as super-dense balls of points.
I’ve noticed those too. It’s great to get the extra points but then it confuses me when I don’t get the points I should. An example would be on 1-2 (Ham’O’Ween) where I’m trying for extra points since I’ve finished all the levels. If I shoot the first of the black pumpkins with yellow, he takes off with the rocks and hits the other black pumpkin as well as the first of the wood structures. If I’m lucky I might get 5000 points. Any idea why it works that way?
Finally finished Ham’o’ween today. Saved the last 2 levels to play on Halloween!
Only Victor in the 3.25 million club for this set so far … Congratulations! Amazing shooting as usual!
(But I’ve sneaked a 3.15 million so I am well happy)
Really great set of levels, loved the new bird and both egg levels … only level 1-12 has driven me somewhat mad in my futile quest to squeeze at least 108K out of it. Drat!…that’s the main one to return to then.
No impossible Eagle Feathers. no bugged achievements … looks like AB Seasons is in perfect shape! Thanks Rovio! What’s next?
Just about perfect. 2 small bugs. Check them out on our bug list.
Just checked out the Facebook bug slim and yes, although the stars are counted on the home screen they are not on the Facebook page … but if I exited back to the home page and went back in again they all appeared?
Worked for all Hog and Kisses, Go Green and Easter? Strange…
Congrats Habanero! That’s mighty good! You know how I am about round numbers when it comes to totals. I’m aiming for 3.3 as the current possible total is around 3.332. I must say I miss my “retired” shooting mate Nev as he always gave me a huge challenge chasing him.
Yes, I really miss seeing Nev in the mix too. I felt sad when he announced his “retirement” after Mooncake Festival. Hope he does decide to return one of these days… maybe the orange bird may tempt him back? Such a good addition.
Good luck on the hitting the 3.3
Congratulations on hitting that cool 3.3 million on Ham’o’ween Victor.
Is NippleOnNippon a known shooter? Seems to have very suddenly appeared up
there? The number one is obviously a shameful hack! Wish Game Center could erase RubalJ and the like…
Thanks Habanero! Some tough last points, it’s always when you want pass that goal that the points get tougher and suddenly easier. Posted some extra screenies in the daily threads in case you want to take a peek.
I must be overlooking a feature. How do you see the Leaderboard rankings just for Ham’o’ween (that is, the combined scores of all 30 levels ranked by user)? Thanks.
Still in the process of making that leaderboard, but you can see your own rank in the blue episode bar. If you go to anyone else’s leaderboard, you will see their rank.
Thanks for the reply. I had assumed Habanero was getting the score info from such a list here. I guess not.
He is probably getting it from GameCenter on iOS. That’s my guess at least.
Is it better tto have an empty score or enter a below average score?ty for help:)
That depends for what you want to use the leaderboard. I like to enter all my scores and then see how much and how many are below average. And how’s total score is compared to score achievement.
If there were no scores entered below the average, the average would keep going higher and higher until there would be virtually no one entering scores, so IMO its better to enter them anyway, and then you can see what levels you can improve the most. Personally, I don’t usually enter my scores until I have 3 stars in all levels so that my average isn’t usually too far below, but there’s no punishment for entering a score 20k below average (I hope!) Anyway, hope this helps and best of luck with your scores :)
I do the same thing as Laurence. I figure it adds to my total score, and gives a more realistic average score for the level. I refuse to enter one- or two-star scores though – too embarrassing! :-)
Hence why I have none of ham em high or mine and dine entered! Of course the exception is Rio…. 8-5 :)
I agree that seems to make the most sense:)
Ty that sounds like the best way:)
I enter all my scores and because of it my over all rank is 357 out of 1620 even though I don’t have a top ten score on anything.
So I guess I’m saying, don’t fill in low scores :D
So I shouldn’t put in under average scores? that what you mean, makes sense ty:) will bring my average down?
357 of 1620 is rea ly good tho? Right I can’t understand the way the leaderboard works lol. I’mi just trying .
Is this here the right place to ask about something at Gamecenter?
Right now I am improving my score in Halloween. I am above AngryBirdsNest-average in all levels. Total score at Gamecenter says rank 384.
But world 2 says 23021. How can that be? Do you have any idea?
Yeah, the World 2 counter does some strange things. We have never been able to figure out what is happening there. I wouldn’t worry about it. Stick with the full episodic leaderboards. :)
There was a bug in an earlier release that added all of the Halloween scores into World 2. This was only was affected by those that played a Halloween world 2 level during this short period before they had released the update. Sadly those scores are basically “stuck” as you can’t legitimately beat those scores.
Ah, I see. That explains also why the top 25 of that world are all by around 4 million points. Thanks :-)
Thanks for the explanation. I have been wondering a year now why the Trick or Treat World 2 scores had such impossibly high scores in Game Center. Never saw an explanation until now.
More generally, I think it is a real failing of Game Center that it apparently offers no way for a developer to fix/remove such false scores — or otherwise correct an error. Months ago, I contacted Rovio about this and they never replied. Oh well. Far from the biggest of problems in the larger scale of things.
Love the new layout – keep up the great work!
Savouring the next ten minutes, which is about how long my ranking will be in the top ten…
Sorry for double posting, but as you can see with one bird i have 56k and one pig left…
http://tinypic.com/m/f4g03a/1
I really like this site, there are great walkthroughs, tips from users on how to get high scores, tips on where the hidden fruit, golden eggs etc are and of course the leaderboards. I do my best to continually increase my scores based on “Off High” scores. But having just check a few, it’s really sad that some people feel the need to post ridiculous scores just have “High Score” show up on thier leader board. I’ll admit that I am not the greatest bird flinger out there, but when I have a score in the top 20 for a level and see that I am 30k to 40k away from the top score, it just pisses me off that someone is cheating and not even trying to hide it. I know some have posted screen shots, but as noted in the past, that’s easy to fudge. I don’t want to see this site go away or the leaderboards shut down, but I can see the admins saying “The hell with this” with all the cheating that seems to be going on lately.
Sorry for the rant, but it just burns my back side to see this crap by a few users.
——-
I believe I flagged ABS, WtH, 1-5, high scores, 1 and 2.
I thought I flagged another but I cant remember which one.
Many times there is a genuine mistake such as mistaken box when entering scores.
Also, if a score is way off, it is generally noted and either removed or asked for confirmation. Slim, BL and co do a good job of that. If there’s a level that you think the top score is off on, post a comment here and it will be looked at by an admin.
There are also a few bugs around that mean you can get a higher score because of double bird counts.
Hope this helps, and enjoy the site :)
The admins are great at weeding out bad scores, but they shouldn’t have to do this at all if everyone was honest. (I know, just a pipe dream). I didn’t want to call anybody out by name, but now that its out there, I did flag his score on Wreck the Halls 1-5 and Achre’s score. (and a couple of others from other people). I have flagged scores in the past and they have been taken care of. I do appreciate all the hard work that Slim, BL, et all do here.
I can understand the honest mistake of entering a wrong score, fat fingering a score, or putting it in in the wrong place, but when a user posts a picture for a level that is 30k above the next highest score, that is not a simple mistake. When a user like Marc987 (among great shooters) isn’t even close, it makes one wonder. I looked at his pic, it looks legit to me but come on now, I’m sure I could do the same with a little time and photoshop.
OK, I removed a few. Let me know if you have any others.
OK, so I just happened to be up at 2am, CDT, and thought, Oh wow…for maybe a few minutes at least, I can be #1. Right. Big Sigh. Oh well, at least I got it done, although no where near the leader. This one was tough, for some reason. The time, maybe? Night now…enjoy everyone!
Wow. What a lucky shot. Level 7, One white bird 127,140
Wow! what was your aim? Congrats :)
Stupid question probably. Shouldn’t the average change as players enter scores? Ty for help:)
But it does change.
Ok ty, I am not too familiar with the leaderboard yet, the average probably doesn’t go down right? Cuz everyone trying to get the highest. I really dont know how averages work, am learning though by asking dumb questions. Lol ty:)
If you enter a score below the average, the average goes down. If you enter a score above the average, it goes up.
Ty thats what I thought, so does the compiled average of all players make the average score go up and down I guess what I’m trying to say is ,i am trying to at least meet the average for the individual level , does that change much? Like the high shooters bring it.up. Ty for your time and help.:)
It’s not a dumb question. The averages tend to sway in the beginning, but as more scores are entered the fluctuations become less and less. This is one of the main reasons the average is such a useful benchmark when trying to improve ones score on any particular level.
BL, what u said was so right there … that’s exactly what i’d been aiming for so far playing this addicitve game …. at least reaching the average score … even though some of the “highest” score on some levels are out of my reach ever …
after some “hard” work, i managed to reach at “average” at about 90% of all levels so far !!!!
Another reason the average does not seem to change, if you don’t refresh your browser it won’t change. I keep up the world leader board that shows the high and average score. Every so often I will refresh the page to see what has changed. Usually they change each time I refresh, and usually to higher numbers as the day goes on.
Ty all for taking time to explain, I.think I understand better now, it makes sense about refreshing the page t too.ty for help:)
any word yet about the score addict amount for wreck the halls? kinda wanna get to work on it day by day before it’s all out, be kinda cool to knock off all it’s achievements on christmas (4 extra presents!!!)
See the Seasons achievements page.
literally just looked at it as you said it. havent checked since like the 3rd when it wasn’t up :P
An average of 100’000 per level will give you the achievement.
But my Game Center still does not show the new achievements.
hm, thanks for the advice! seems like a good goal for each day as i’m workin on these -by christmas i’ll hopefully have all the achievements! and sorry to hear that man, but first try restarting your ipod, and if that doesn’t work, id maybe just try syncing your iOS device to iTunes for a min to see if that changes anything. other than that, you’ll have to wait for the next update :( ik, it’s a bummer, i had to do the same for ABoFree
Just wanted to point out that I thought it was humorous that the Ham’o’ween boards are out of 666 players at the moment :)
^like xD
Seasons Greedings, 1-24
Best I can muster is 70190. This is not even the average.
What gets me, is that the high score is 130,840? Are you kidding me? Is that real?
I must be missing something. I’ve tried the only one bird solution I can, and 70190 is the highest I can get.
Is there something I’m missing on this? I cannot see any other combinations getting nearly that high. And am struggling to get even the average. That’s the one bird shot with first shot going towards that little stick on top of the arch. A piece of debris flying off with the hen head, hitting the tnt box. And the debris knocks the tnt to the side, so it wipes out the train, etc….
Best I can do is the 70k.
What makes me wonder that I’m missing something is the average is so high and this shot is so difficult. I do feel like I’m missing something.
Anyone?
Thus level used to have the Santa’s Hat glitch. See its effect in the video walkthrough
Where do you see a santa’s hat in this video?
The little pig in the house (second from the left) wears one.
Ah ok. I see what the deal used to be.
You should put an astrisk or note….record with steroids. Lol. I was pulling my hair out. While waiting for the video to load, however, I upped my score to 70930. Which, apparently without the glitch, is pretty darn good. Way above what the average would be were there no glitch skewing the curve.
I might still try for that extra 1k just to get the average. But maybe not. Been working on this for a day now.
Figured there had to be something I was missing.
Are there other glitches?
I’ve gone through Angry Birds, the original, and beat all the average scores. But still didn’t get the 500,000 blocks achievements. Either I’m very efficient or that is a glitch also?
We have a bug page
Thinking about it, if more people put their scores in, the average will come down to me.
That one bird solution shot is very difficult. And I was sure that something was up that the scores were so high on that level. Obviously, I don’t have the santa glitch.
At what time does the next level start? Its 2 am here,.just wondering what time zone this is in I guess I assumed midnite.probably midnite somewhere. :)
Midnight for Pacific time. 3am for East coast so its out now.
Which pacific time. In Hawaii, the new levels come out at 10:00 pm
Wait, do you mean what time new angry birds update comes out, or when a new level comes out daily?
Pacific Time = West Coast of (continental) US. Hawaii = Hawaiian Time haha
Officially, it’s called the Hawaii-Aluetian Time zone, yielding the zippy acronym HAT!
Just FYI.
The leader boards should be available by now for the latest Wreck the Halls level.
Please can someone help this sad bird – I haven’t changed anything and both the other Angry Birds are working fine, but I can’t get Seasons to load at all today – it’s been a bit flaky for the last couple of days but for some reason it can’t get started….
Try restarting your device. Otherwise, provide more details please.
Thank you, it’s still not loading first time, but at least I can get in now :)
There is an upgrade on iTunes (posted Dec 11th or Dec 10th) which may fix this. Try downloading the update and see if that helps, :-)
Dumb question (newbie):
I play AB Seasons on both the iPad and the Macintosh.
On the Mac, I found only 17 levels (2 groups of 15 regular + 2 extra for golden eggs).
On the iPad I have 18 levels in 3 extra levels. ??? What’s up? Facebook access?
Puzzled by this. Does anyone know what’s going on? Thanks!
Welcome,
Mac and PC do not currently have access to Facebook/Twitter levels. Rovio may change this in the future, but also may not. The reason why is not known, but that is the way it is.
I hope you don’t mind but I edited your post slightly. There was some information in there that should not be broadcasted.
Question: I would like to print several Leaderboard screens which show the high scores, average scores, and my scores. I am traveling to an area where I will not have access to the Internet, and I would like to have a hard copy of several episodes. Can I copy the statistics to my Excel and then print it out? If so, how can I copy the screen? I have tried several things and have been unsuccessful. I thank you in advance for your help.
You could certainly just highlight everything and copy/paste to Excel. The amount of work to clean things up in Excel would not be too severe.
On the other hand, you could directly print directly from the full seasons leaderboard.
Hello there’s an Egg, up right on the screen, just shot with a YB and it’s done
Sorry i forgot to say : In level 15 of Wreck The Halls
Enjoy
Just hitting the egg isn’t enough, that only knocks it off the screen, I only got it when I got rid of the snow block and let it drop.
Thank you Joji for the details. I simply posted this message to indicate that there was an egg in this level. I did not well see how I obtained it
Interesting note on the rankings: I see my “Wreck the Halls” ranking is about the median (as many above as below me), but my “ranking” on Game Center is in the top 1% of about 250,000 players!
Guess we’ve got a pretty talented set of players registered at the site!
Happy hunting all!
Indeed very talented.
The leaderboard is open to all players from all platforms. Gamecenter is only open to apple devices.
In other words, you get a tougher competition here …
I agree that many of the best players hang out here. It is a select group.
But I would also suggest a more controversial additional explanation. Everyone who hangs out here (and I include myself in this group) is guilty of cheating. That is, the scores posted on the Leaderboard here would be significantly lower if the posters did not have the benefit of the walk-throughs and comments available on this site. Many of the scores on Apple’s GameCenter come from people who have probably never heard of this site; that’s one reason they are lower on average.
To be clear, if you use this site for your own education, that’s fine. But when you post your scores to the Leaderboard, you are competing with others. If this was a real competition, looking at the walk-throughs would be considered illegal. Can you imagine, for example, a crossword puzzle tournament where it was allowed to look up words in a dictionary or use Google to find an answer? No. Because that would be cheating. The walk-throughs here are no different.
[FWIW, I don’t look at any walk-throughs until I’ve spent a couple of days trying to get my best score on my own. That’s part of the fun for me. It’s rare that the walk-through pages improve my score. But it does happen on occasion.]
That said, I concede to one significant caveat. There are two parts to getting high scores in Angry Birds. The first is solving the puzzle of where and how to aim the birds. This is the part where the walk-throughs and comments amount to a cheat. The second is having the skill — and luck — to have the birds go exactly where they need to go to get the high score. This remains a matter of skill and luck (not cheating) even with the walk-throughs. That’s a key difference between Angry Birds walk-throughs and crossword puzzle hints/answers.
In fact, I suspect that Rovio may be adding a greater element of luck to recent episodes precisely to undermine the benefit of the sort of cheating we do here.
I know the word “cheating” carries negative connotations and looking at walk-throughs and associated comments is certainly far more ethical than hacking the GameCenter board or knowingly posting phony scores. And I truly admire this site and the people who frequent it. Still, when I am being honest with myself, I have to say that it is a form of cheating.
I have to disagree. I don’t think it’s cheating at all, especially considering the attitude of this site. This is an Angry Birds community. The walkthrough pages allow users to express different opinions and strategies, and to work together.
You compare this to a crossword puzzle tournament, which indeed is completely independent. But what about sports like golf? You can watch one player take a shot, and then decide if you want to try the same thing, or vary it slightly. You’re still competing for yourself, and you still need to make the shot, but you are basing your strategy on the outcomes of other players.
The same is true for most professional sports. NFL players and coaches spend hours every week watching the play of other teams, either as preventative (defense) or improvement (offense). It’s not cheating at all.
Also, Rovio is well-aware of our little site. They poke in here from time to time, and reference us on Twitter a bit too. They aren’t out to hurt us, or counter our efforts. Rather, I’m sure they get a bit tired of hearing “OMG that was so easy!” 12 hours after an update is release. This way, they get to chuckle as people struggle a bit.
Your golf metaphor is a good one. It has merit — although I would suggest Angry Birds requires far less physical skill than the sports you mention. :)
However, I see a further difference. Solving the puzzle is part of what Angry Birds is about. It’s a mystery when you first see a new level. “Do I aim here or there?” It can take hours or days (if ever) to discover the best way to sequence your shots to even have a chance at a high score.
If, instead, you immediately go to AngryBirdsNest and read a few comments that tell you precisely how to get the best score (where to aim, how to angle the shots, etc. etc.), you’ve taken the mystery out the equation. All that’s left is good aim, persistence and luck. To me, that’s a form of cheating.
[As an aside, your comments about Rovio are interesting. I wonder if they ever find that people here have discovered ways to get a high score that they didn’t know exist. Or are they never surprised?]
I have to agree with slim, I dont consider myself a cheater by listening and learning from others advice. If that were true , then my whole life is one big cheat. People learn from others since the time they are born, til the time they pass, its just a matter of whose advice you choose to learn from;)
I see the point you’re making, but it entirely up to each individual if they look at the walkthroughs or not. Personally, I normally spend a few hours on a level, hey three stars, and move on. If I then compare my score to the average here and I’m a long way off 10k or more, for example, I’ll look at a walkthrough. It’s not really ‘cheating’, as this site is open to anyone, and it’s not hard to find if you google for angry birds walkthroughs.
One of the reasons the average is so high I think is because you have to register first, so this tends to rule out the more casual players who pop in and out when they’re stick on a tricky level. This often just leaves more serious players, who are by their very nature, experts at the game, Marc, Manu, angryGRX, etc to name but a few. This creates a demographic that includes world top players, which naturally increases the average. And if you can get the average here, you know you’re doing well, as I think all averages are above even the score addict minimums!
I am so proud to be a part of this group! Anyone heard anything about the AB Birthday update for the android?
Is there really an ABN birthday update? Lol great idea !! I love this community of freinds we have, should have a celebration:)
So I’ve heard, came out 12/11/11 (their birthday) for the ios, I’ve seen the screenshots :)
if i were you, i’d watch my use of the word ‘everyone’ when you have no knowledge of that. i use the birds nest for one thing only, to find out what the average and high scores are for any level, something that is basically like having a large group of friends who you compare scores with.
for 10 days i was completing the daily level of ‘wreck the halls’ (i’ll go at it every day until i get 3-stars) and every day i went back to 1-4 to try to improve my 2-star score. i know walkthrough’s exist and it’s very tempting to watch, especially on a frustrating level like this one (at least it was for me). yesterday i finally figured it out and got that 3rd star (though how people beat some of my scores by 10-15k is still most times a mystery to me!), but even my piddlingly small 3-star score felt good knowing it was MY solution.
so you you want to consider yourself a cheater, fine with me, but please watch how you speak of others with blanket statements like yours.
by the way, this is one reason i believe the scores here are of a high average… without knowing higher scores are possible, i would probably waste some of my time on levels where i’m already close to the high score. the advantage of joining the birds nest is to be able to use your playing time more efficiently.
Points noted. I amend my prior statement. I was referring to using the walk-through pages, not simply looking at the high score lists.
I find this a very interesting use of the word ‘cheating’. Whilst I generally detest arguments that involve semantics there are several different definitions of the word (ref: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cheat) and I still find this stretching the meaning somewhat beyond its bounds. The only way to make this stick would be to think of AB as either a purely solo venture (which clearly if you did you would never have use for a site like this and thus we would not be having this conversation) or you are applying a set of rules or principles to the game that henceforth define the parameters under which you believe the game should (emphasis on should here) be played. This is where you add a subjective character to the game, a character which not everyone will agree with and I would think the selection bias of this site would hamper with making such an argument (only people who use the site will see the post and in that you have the people that believe that the game is not a solo venture but a community undertaking, a principle in direction opposition to what I presuming is a value that you hold).
I think the site itself promotes a community around the game and spurs competition (albeit somewhat unhealthy at times when someone manages some absurd combination of shots that you just have to try and replicate). Each individual will use the site for different things. Some will never ever post and others will devote great chunks of time to developing the site (aka Slim) and the community around the game (too many shooters to name here but you know who you are).
In summary I believe the subjective ‘frame’ that you have constructed and under which you perceive how AB should be played has lead to your conclusion about the walkthroughs equating to cheating, this will (probably) not be shared by many that participate actively in this site. I can see the merit of your argument but I can’t say I agree with you. I would also like to say that if people don’t want to they don’t have to use the walkthroughs, that’s a choice each of us makes. I think you also have to consider the fact that someone has to figure it out first and write it up for everyone else. That is one of the best parts of the game imho. Figuring it out first and letting everyone know how you did it. Then people tweak it and give it back. To be honest that, for me at least, is much more than the game itself could ever offer on its own. So for me, AB would be pretty boring with the ABN community. But that’s just my opinion and as we live in a free country (at least down south in Australia :P) everyone is entitled to their own.
Very well spoken nature, I could not have said it better, the comradarie of ABN, is really what makes the game exciting for me at least.
That should read pretty boring without the ABN community… Kathy you are one of those shooters. I don’t want to seem as though I am devaluing the ideas or contribution of the individual that started this comment but I just can’t agree with the sentiment conveyed in the post.
I knew you meant “without” ,and yes, i am one of those players, I will use all the tools available to improve my shooting, and am happy to help others when I can. I dont consider that cheating.
Cheating sounds illegal, so it’s not cheating at all if you watch the walkthroughs. Walkthroughs should help if you are not able to finish a level in a video game. It exists for almost all video games.
But I don’t understand people who ask for walkthroughs 1 hour after new levels came out. The challenge is to find your own solution.
I personally only watch the walkthroughs in order to improve my scores when I want to get a score addict achievement.
I’m tired and I wanna go to bed , got 3 stars about an hour ago, and it went straight to my head . Now i’m trying to get higher score, while my bf starts to snore. gotta work in the morn, oh how I’m torn between AB and bed. Gn all and gl:)
Congrats natureswrath on top score;)
Only until AngryGRX (aka Gregor) catches up with yesterdays level. He is still a good 15k clear of me :p
Is seasons for tablet different than seasons for phones? I just recently redownloaded this to my xoom and the first level is way easier with a way lower score than on my nexus one.
Should all be the same. But a bigger screen makes it easier to be precise.
A disadvantage for people who are using phones and iPods to play the game
well I can assure you it isn’t the same. would it matter if I got it through the market or amazon, because the phone version is amazon and the tablet I got is market
It’s the same.
How about this to add to this site, Tournament. You could enter a section (each section holding 300 people) and there would be 6 of them. Then you would enter a score and with a added gimick or no gimick at all you can decide. Then after 24 hours the top 100 on each section would move up to the next level with a diffrent gimick or no gimick at all. Then the top 50 out of two sections. Then the top ten of all the three and split them into two groups. Then 1st place out of the two sections. The winner would get a trophy badge detacating that you won a tournament.
P.S. You have 24 hours to enter each score
P.S.S. Admins can start a tournament any time after ones end
P.S.S.S. It would be for ABO, ABS, and ABR.
We’ve actually recently discussed some sort of tournament or “mini-game” between updates. But we would need more time to sort things out. We also have some larger issues at hand right now. But we do appreciate the ideas.
Can you put a link(s) of the recently descused tournament(s).
Wasn’t discussed here. I mean, BirdLeader and I talked about it.
Oh.
Hi,
it would be nice if the platform would be visible for highscores in leaderboards.
We would like to do the same thing. We have some higher things on the to-do list right now, but we will definitely keep this in mind when we tackle the Leaderboards. Thanks.
Seasons greedings 1-24 looks like its a typo or fake. Its a little bit to much higher than second place.
It’s been there for a while but we can’t really justify removing it. Sure it’s a little high, but that was one of the old “Santa’s Hat” levels — it is plausible that the score is legitimate.
How far apart should first place and second place be for it to be considered as removing so I know when to flag?
No real guideline. But Seasons Greedings is tougher to moderate. That “Santa’s Hat” makes policing rather difficult.
As slim said, no real guideline, and it depends from level to level. On one level, 3k might be a big difference, on another, it might mean nothing. And of course there are the Santa’s hat levels that cause trouble. As a rough guide I use about 10% as my guideline, but as I say, it varies. Reputation is also a key factor, as I wouldn’t flag Manu, rocklands, etc, as they’re just so well respected. If you’re unsure about a level, either post here, or ask on the level walkthrough page, and of the scores valid normally an explanation and/or screenshot appears. If not, the score will probably be deleted. Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
Another good idea is to check that user’s personal leaderboard (just click their name). If it’s the only score they have and it’s a top score, then that’s a big flag. On the other extreme, if they have scores entered for every level, all are above average, and they rank in the top 10 on our boards, then it’s safe to assume they are completely legit.
At what point do you come to the realization that your just not going to make the average, 100x, 500x? I just can’t do it:( but……i just can’t quit:( talk about addicted,lol gn I think? Maybe one more try.. Gl all thanx for hearing my whine:) ssry
Better than average score is always my goal, but I can’t always achieve it. 1-13 is the bane of my existence right now, for example. 7K down from just the average. Argh!
I barely managed 13, / 14, , 17-21 are killing me. Gl hope we all get up there:)
tip for 13, don’t worry about the boulders above, just try to clear the wood so you can get WB in the gap, and drop her egg so she hits the cave. Gl :)
I know EXACTLY how you feel. Wreck the Halls is giving me trouble trying to beat the average…I think I’m 2/3 over average, 1/3 below average [ although a few are so…..close ; – ) ]
Wreck the Halls 20, 21 ans 22 are giving me fits trying to get more than the average. I managed to get 1K above on 22 but that’s taken ALL day and I’ve only managed it a handful of times. I’m hoping for a nice easy level tomorrow!! lol
again, my main reason for stopping by here is to check the average scores. knowing those scores are not just a freak occurrence, it often convinces me try a completely different strategy. so far WTH level 3 has been my nemesis. still 3k from the average and it’s driving me crazy, but eventually i’ll figure it out. hang in there, i’m sure you’ll get there, too.
two days and only 50k from WTH score addict. i think i just might have a chance to pass it this evening. woo-hoo!!
Before I take my first ever shot at new level, I look it over and project, right? So it seems my FIRST attempt is my best. I used two birds and got it all, but a low score. Further attempts seem to mess up the whole idea. I finally got 3* and now I’ve accomplished 82,000. WB into the tnt, then clean up. Still not even average, which is in reality what I strive for, (isn’t that what our parents taught us? Strive to be average! but I think that it should be worth extra point for the even 82. Big sigh. Back to the throwing board! Good luck flingers!
The frustrating bit is my parents said be above average and comparing to the dedicated users on this board is very hard to be above average.
