It's hard to compete with the cheaters that time warp or use a hack to finish the game faster and/or easier. I mean, what's the point? You aren't doing it the right way, the only thing you're learning is how to cheat. Is it really worth spending the money on a game and cheating to beat it? Not to me, it isn't.

At this point though, it's easy to spot them. I just ignore anyone who's hours are greater than 120 or so. (I can check for the official release date & time on the Big Fish Games website)

maybe I'm missing something, but how do you get 26 elders from only having 1 baby?, is someone cloning?

unfortunately it was the same for VV1. How do you filter the bogus results from showing up??? And to your question why do you pay just to cheat, my guess is they didn't even pay for the game either.... It's a shame hopefully they can get it worked out.

May I suggest having the first sort set to collectiables? And then the second sort could be elders. This way only people who actualy play the game with out cheating would be listed. Does that make sense?

It isn't the leaderboards that suck, it's the cheaters that ruin the stats for the rest of us. Unfortuntely, the boards are made out of submitted data, so there's no way to fix it to keep them from doing so. Unless, maybe, there's a way to filter out all those with hours played higher then the actual release date & time.

BTW, is it possible to turn off your caps lock when you post? It makes your posts hard to read for some people, me included.

The data that is shown on the Leaderboards is taken from the stats page, so we need to choose among those fields. I don't think we can use the collectibles as a sorting, but I totally agree that it should be fixed.
