Here's my best so far:

Won't last long at that position though I reckon.

Don't see a problem with it personally - its their game, why not let them set the benchmark

Only thing thats pissing me off is I've got to wait until 6pm(ish) tomorrow evening before I'll get a chance to look at it

Can I just ask how long a 500 million score takes from wave 1 ? I know there is a jump/warp facility but just wondered ?

Don't really see the problem here. Two options: Play, get a beast score showing people how much is possible, and setting the bar. Or don't play at all.

I never even expect to come anywhere close to the top scores on ANY game, so I hardly think people are going to be discouraged by it.

Someone is bound to beat it within the coming few weeks anyhoo.

Yes you are.

That leaderboard is the Hardcore one, which (AFAIK) is for scores from the start of level 1, so maybe you haven't done a run-through good enough yet?

I really don't see a problem. I made this game for me to play. My game this morning was a good, honest to goodness play to the best of my ability, and actually the first time I have ever managed to play from level 1 to 100 without using a continue.

It's far from being a perfect game, i fucked up many times along the way and had to play defensively to recover, and I limped over the finish line on my last life; it's well takeable. Not like it'll be there for months or even weeks.

It's not like I can clog up the board with loads of entries that are just me. I'm not going to sit and overzealously defend it either. It's my first game of released SG and there it is. It's an incitement for all comers to take a pop at it too and kick my @rse.

I made this game in part because I want to play it. Having done so am I supposed to simply abstain?

That's just silly. I fully expect to be handed a schoolin' within a fairly short period of time. I never remain #1 at my games too long, there's too many crazy bastards out there

just do what I do everyone, if someone is ahead of you on your friends list in a game then remove them

for the general leaderboards just pretending that they are all 14 year old kids with no social life helps.....

The Rev has 10 quid riding on nobody beating Yak's score by September 22nd. He's since qualified that to anyone not in the credits.

Smell the fear.

I'd have an empty friends list though.

Well...yeah.

There's no rule in the MS guidelines (AFAIK) that states that a developer can't play the game they developed...

Stop fuckin' cryin'
Do more fuckin' playin'

I don't care who's at the top of the leaderboard so long as I beat Rockys score...

He doesn't know Sickboy that well then..I've seen him in action. Quite frankly, there's a telephone number that isn't long enough that he can't beat on a high score table..

I suspect SB's in the credits, he was one of the beta testers. Which is why he's qualified it to specifically exclude him

He is.
