It's the last day of the month and some top 25 players seem to become very risk averse and prefer playing at 0 tables...

yes. have fun figuring out what people are trying to fine tune their scores to end the month on. i know that dasfury, jpc4p, and wishbone are all trying to tune theirs in.

I think that if you are ranked higher than 2500 you should not be allowed to play on ) tables. It is unfair to new players.

even worse, you have high ranking players (Cutekittens and Bertrand Donnes) teaming up together on those tables to battle the newbies

jpc lamed out. he was aiming for 80085. to counter that, das was aiming for 45535, but got to impatient with the fine tuning process (it can get quite frustrating) and stopped when he saw 45537. integral also hit 1337, but any noob can do that, so thats hardly worth mentioning.

Looks like das' score got rounded to 45535 anyway. Sweet. It ain't so '1337' but I was trying to fine tune to 20000 myself. Got too annoyed and stopped at 20002, which looked kinda nice too. So I was puzzled when I saw my score'd changed to 20000, and did a bit of looking around...

Seems that all the scores before Jan've been multiplied by 5, so they all end in 0 or 5 now. Jan's scores were re-weighted based on monte's 231337 -> 100k, leaving him with arguably the neatest pair of scores ever. My theory was that Feb's scores were rounded to the nearest 5 to match the rest aesthetically, but Jan's scores weren't rounded, so I'm not so sure. 'Nuff geeky speculation heh, looking forward to seeing Ryan's blog post on Feb!
