Huh? How do you know they are cheating?

...and it's not a glitch. TNT changed the trophy position system back to it's original state. Previously it was done on alphabetical order going backwards, now it's just random and can shuffle whenever it likes (usually before trophies are given out too). You were just unlucky.

It was 2nd before and after the trophies are given out so no shuffling there

And how do I know they're cheaters, oh come on a 1 day old player with amazing outstanding high scores in all games.... oh well they're back at around june 2002 or so
Hi-Score Tables are back. We realised that they have been going so long that it would be impossible for anybody to get into them... even after wiping the top of the score tables. We have decided to erase every single score in the tables, and let people compete again for all the trophies! Have fun :)
We apologise to all the people who spent a lot of time getting huge scores, and playing games a lot of get large cumulative scores. We are doing this to give everybody a chance (besides, you have your trophies anyway :).

Just because you were second before trophies were given out and second after trophies were given out doesn't mean it didn't shuffle and shuffle back. Believe me, it does happen. I've been shuffled into a trophy position before and then shuffled out when i recieved the trophy.

Also i looked at the top three scores on Fyora's Quest. I don't see any 1 day old accounts there. Cheaters? Nah.

Err did you read my post I am referring to the old faerie caves, I even include the "june 2002" there

Perhaps you didn't notice the happy cheating fiasco happening around that time...

not only faerie caves btw, they do really have outstanding, and sometimes impossible score (ie some games has a maximum score, and they score much more than that)

HEY, you know I didnt cheat at all! I stayed up until 2 A.M. NST to finally get that trophy... I got gold though... But I am really sorry you didnt get a silver, try sending in a bug report like xjox said, because its not fair that me (3rd) and 4th place got gold, and 2nd only got a silver.

Um... didn't you get 2nd place trophy because of the reserve alphabetical order factor?

Say if there were 10 people with the same school, one user's username starts with Z and another starts with A, the one with Z in front would be at the top of the list and A at the bottom.

Or am I missing something here...?

Edit: Ok, now I know that TNT changed it, thanks Hydruxo for telling me that :) Been frozen for awhile so I stopped my trophy collection.

It's not a bug that you didn't recieve a 'gold trophy' It's because you got shuffled in and out of the position -.-; Prior to the alphabetical order backwards positioning script, it's always been like this.

Just to show how weird the High Score list is, I wanted to post this one. I played the game again, got 1520, which is the max score, and looked at the score list, and look at the screenie i took (The img thing doesnt work for me)

http://tinypic.com/og193

Somehow, I got first, but I KNOW I wasn't the first person to get 1520. This is weird, so anyone who has any ideas, please tell, im confused.

The highscore tables are now done on a random positioning system that can shuffle around whenever it likes.
