DireWolf74 Mainstay Registered: Mon Jun 28 2010 Posts: 764 Loc: Illinois USA	Regarding the "Smartest of the Smart" badge upgrades that are in the pipeline, are the stats for that still being tracked? The reason I ask is because the highest winning score of each hour stopped being displayed on the "Winners" page around the time of the last design overhaul of the site. _________________________ "In the beginning the Universe was created.

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	Since the last award of the badge was just on Dec 15, it's obviously still being checked. Note that the new upgrade as planned will not be retroactive (none of the win count badges except the GC ones are) and in fact not even be able to count your first win toward the upper tiers since it did not save the category your first win was achieved in. _________________________ FunTrivia Editor (Hobbies and Sci/Tech) and Administrator Guardian of the Tower

Could the scores be put back on that page? _________________________ "In the beginning the Universe was created.

By the way the same issue exists for the Mixed Winner Badge. High scores for the hour are not listed on the "Winners" page. I do realize that as long as the badge is still being awarded then it's not necessary for it to be on the page. But I still like seeing it there.

As I've been on the quiz side for nearly 19 years, and am level 95, would I be in Tier 7 right off? _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

rossian Moderator Registered: Sat Jun 10 2006 Posts: 3908 Loc: Merseyside UK	Could you consider revising the requirement that a minimum number of players in total need to have taken part in WTS, please? This disadvantages players who are not in the USA. I got the overall best score in the set which just finished and had to dig deep to find out why it didn't count.

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	The target is 80 now, not 100. Having no cutoff at all would greatly disfavor US players (as Europeans and Australians would have the "easy" rounds with a low population effectively to themselves). Having a high cutoff disfavors those who can't catch enough attempts. By choosing the right cutoff, these two trends mostly balance out - Non-Americans get fewer chances (five games in the last 24 hours did not qualify, four on the day prior), but the chances they do get are worth more (since it's much easier to win against 80 than against 160).

rossian Moderator Registered: Sat Jun 10 2006 Posts: 3908 Loc: Merseyside UK	When I posted, I believed it was 100, as stated in the badge write up, but worked out that it must be 80 and edited the post, rather than delete it. I was unfortunate that my win came with 79 players in total, short by just one person! _________________________ Editor - Animals & Sci/Tech

eyhung Enthusiast Registered: Fri Mar 02 2012 Posts: 211 Loc: California USA	Hourly Mix Winner doesn't appear to be upgrading correctly. PDAZ has had the highest score six times with 80+ players in the past couple of days, yet is still at Tier 1. (The badge description should also indicate the number of times won in the past so we can monitor our progress, along with the Pot of Gold daily upgrades.)

pmarney Enthusiast Registered: Thu May 10 2012 Posts: 346 Loc: Norfolk England UK	I'm sure when I started playing it was a minimum of 200 players that had to play for it to count. Could be wrong as memory not what it was as some of my quiz scores show. _________________________ I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

rossian Moderator Registered: Sat Jun 10 2006 Posts: 3908 Loc: Merseyside UK	The minimum number has been revised to 80. If a player is shown as having the highest score on the winners' page, he or she should be credited with the overall win. It's working fine on the Difficult game but not on the Medium/Mixed game. _________________________ Editor - Animals & Sci/Tech

All wins have been credited correctly but advance check was broken. It will advance PDAZ correctly (and anyone else) when next won.

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	It would have to get a redefined game selection as tier 7 would be nine games - which currently means all of the games running more than once per day, including FMI and GM Madness. I think I'd want to have an additional hourly or two before thinking of a Nonuple Win here... _________________________ FunTrivia Editor (Hobbies and Sci/Tech) and Administrator Guardian of the Tower
