You're 16 and no one cares woo let's start a parade , I don't think people not liking you has anything to do with your age...just a thought and I didn't care to go back and read because it's a weekly competition that most people just use to have their scores updated regularly...

It's not like you win gamerscore or cash from this. Just a friendly competition. Stop taking it so damn seriously. The guy who got his score reset is not even on here complaining. Everyone should just chill out and reset the thing and move on.

I'm 16 and anyways I was winning the whole time by 500G for most of the time. He never once passed me or got closed to. Anyways I guess since I was a member for over 2 years and he has been one for 5 days, you should believe him over me.
Enough said.

All right everyone please step back a moment here.
First off it is not Knucks fault that the guy got taken out of the competition, its my fault. I was checking into his games played and the fact he was hiding his games and clicked on a staff function and it apparently removed him from the competition. This was NOT intentional, although I do think that members who want to compete should not hide their games.
I messaged Jackson about it immediately after it happened as I could not fix the problem. Jackson wasn't on this weekend so it wasn't fixed. When he gets back I can't say what will or will not happen with the winner or badges, etc.
Now for the other issue that seems to come up in this. Knuck, you may not consider it cheating, but just because YOU glitched an achievement on your old tag and started a new one with 0 GS and then played a bunch of easy games that you already completed doesn't make it right. I've always bit my tongue on the issue, but I can say as one of the people with the highest GS on the site (top 25 now fools!) it is HUGE to compete with someone with a lower GS. You effectively had zero, it made it ridiculously unfair for you to do what you did....even if its not "cheating" in your book.
GS competitions are not really level playing fields and that does suck sometimes but is part of the challenge. However when someone blatantly gives themselves an advantage like you did way back when, it takes the fun out of it for others. Good for you that you won but I bet that if everyone had 0 GS and the games to play the result would have been different. So before you constantly defend your position you need to realize how everyone else feels, and what you did took the fun out of it for many people. You gave yourself a huge advantage and that's why people see it as cheating.
Edit: Crap, someone got back ahead of me, top 26

I was called 12 so I pointed out my age. I won't take the win but it's not my fault the site glitched. I didn't know it would happen plus 8 to 9 times out of 10 hidden achievements mean some are glitched. I'm sorry it all happen just get over it. Seriously it's just a little competition.
Lols, so why does the first post have you marked down for two wins then?
