Not completely correct here bones. You lose a lot more points for a loss the higher your score is, but, you never really got so high, so I guess I would not expect you to know this.
Now, back to the original question, is the top 5 more most games played at one time accurate or was their a recent change?
Blitz i think what he is saying is that both players lost about 600 points from their score when playing this many games.
ok, but, if they both played around the same level of competition and ranks out in public, it is easier for HA to lose more in score, this is the point I am trying to make. It is not quite the same, and HA I think is trying to say his was a better achievement, although it is crazy for me to think about that massive amount of games at one time, so, both should be applauded.

Except for, you know, the DRAMATIC difference in winning percentage between the two. 33% for AoN and 52% for HA. Thus it's easier for HA to win some of those points back since he's clearly a better player.
HA's point is not about AoN's score, it's about AoN missing turns.

thx for proofing my point, they both lost around 600 points and HA won at 52% and AoN 33%.

well throwing percentages out means nothing in this case, aon plays way more multi player games than HA does, HA plays almost all 1 vs 1

He won 52% overall, not from the 1000 odd simultaneous games played....

Don't bother, Gilly.
Blitz is probably one of those people who thinks the score system is unfair for high ranks instead of realizing that it just evens out the playing field*. Better players will win more games and more points and worse players will lose more games and more points.
*Well, that assumes no farming. Of course the scoring system won't "work" for him because his score is so overtly inflated that if he were to truly play anyone/anywhere his score would plummet and eventually balance out around the 2000-2300 area.
OK Blitz, I checked all players with 39 or more Medals and here is the chronological list of the first players with 13 Gold Medals:
1. b00060 on 2010-06-30 2. Iron Maid on 2010-07-23 3. sdh on 2010-08-25 4. hwhrhett on 2010-09-14 5. Mageplunka on 2010-09-21 (1:30 am)

As you can see it was close for Mageplunka to get in the Top 5, just 13 hours and 19 minutes before pimphawks70.

Like I said--I dont think either achievement is great since turns were missed by both of us. For someone to beat these records they should not miss any games--we both did though. After I missed I had some players sit for me a bit too as I didnt feel the record was pure--not sure about AoN. As for points I think there is a huge difference between 400 and 1400 but at the same time I think the reason AoN dropped so far was he would get relatively caught up and then not play for a while. I would take smaller breaks which probably helped keep my score high. When u r playing your score goes up and when u dont play it goes down as your opponents are winning games while you sleep. No matter what it is much harder than anyone can believe unless they try it. It is mentally and physically exhausting when trying this.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

We both missed turns though. AoN had more games but since we both missed turns the records are not pure.

FYI-16000+ 1v1 games
5000-3 or more players
but I agree with ljex that I play more 1v1
