If some 1 has the same high score than u say 95 people how does the placing get determined? Is it 1st in 1st served?

1st come 1st served...

I heard it's either alphabetical or who has more "_" in their names.
People who're going for trophies get names with a lot of "_" in them so they can "bump down" everyone else.

I could be wrong ...*shrugs*

well, on grand theft ummagine, it used to be reverse alphabetical order, but now it's all wacky. no first come first serve.

Go to http://www.neopets.com/gamescores.phtml?game_id=351&limit=30
and look at the bottom of the top 30 and look at the username and then click top 50 and ranked 50th is the same username and ranked 100th is the same username. How does that work?

It's probably a glitch. O.o

Woah ... same highscore from 8th to 100th place O_O

IIRC, in one form or another, it is reverse alphabetical.

I've also seen evidence that what is listed on the High Scores is not necessarily the order in which trophies are given out.

Bilge Dice is very screwed up, as we've been discussing in this thread: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11677

But normally it's some kind of alphabetical order.

Ive been observing it and have worked out what happens. Say some 1 gets 7900 (minnimum for bilge dice) they are added to place 100. When ever some 1 else gets the minimum score they are added to the list at place 100 and the 8th place gets kicked of so the person who was previously in place 100th is now in place 99. Does that make sense?

Yesss it's not reverse alphabetical anymore!! That rules :D

I seriously think it's random.

Something is still strange with the tables... my friend got about 1680 points in Maths Nightmare and so did a few other people. She got the avatar. When later on I checked, I went to the first 50 people in the table and she wasn't there. I went later on to all the 200 and strangely my friend was there, on number 50... and when I went back to the first 50 there was someone else in number 50 :roll:
