X tried 1 times to beat/dethrone you on "song" by "artist"
« on: November 10, 2009, 03:22:42 pm »
Every time I looked through the dethrone tab in the stats site, I only ever see 1 as the amount and never any other number. Although it's possible everyone has only tried once, I highly doubt that's the case. Anyone else have this problem?

It only counts it when they post a new score to the scoreboard that comes short of your score. So if they play it 10,000 times, but their first run was their best, it will count as 1.

Boo
My username is supposed to be Trooth, but for some crazy reason I'm not allowed a name with "root" in it.

also it shouldn't be "X tried 1 times to beat/dethrone you" but "X tried once to beat/dethrone you"
Austria is just like Yorkshire, but they have bigger hills.... oh and they have real snow too

Well... that's lame. >_>

+1
Or at least use parentheses around the s, lol

It keeps server traffic at a manageable level, since only personal bests are sent - the scoreboards would be a whole lot laggier otherwise, if they would even work at all.

If every time some played a song, all previous players were notified, it would mean so much work for the server, so only close misses being counted as a 'tried to beat' is a good thing.

k so it's misleading. Maybe it shouldn't attempt to count at all and just say "X tried to beat/dethrone you, but came Y points short" or whatever it is.

Sometimes its not even trying to beat at all, it's just playing for the fun of it.

Trooth rode this song 4 times, but they were only for fun, not trying to beat you or anything.

It could be phrased more like "X almost beat your score, but missed by #" because this then doesn't imply they were trying to beat you, when maybe they were just playing for fun.

"X tried X times to pwn you, but they suck and completely failed by # points. Get back to that song and get an even HIGHER score to show them how BAD they're at this game!!!"
