Expanded Leaderboards (or exposing the underlying data for 3rd party apps)

There's been some fun competition around the leaderboards, and I'd like to see more of it! Being on the receiving end of quite a few hugs, kisses and splanks, I'd like to see where I rank in that department. Ultimately, I'd like to see where I rank in ALL departments!

Now, I don't want or expect TS to devote time to something as superficial as leaderboards. There are more exciting things to work on that should take priority. But, are there any plans on making this type of data available to those who are inclined to make use of it? Similar to the inventory and auction web sites that some have already introduced.

I think it would result in some potentially fun competitions or contests:

- Most hugs, kisses, splanks administered or received in a given time
- Most currants accumulated
- Most of resource x gathered
- Most pigs created
- Most trees planted

Etc.

  • +1 Joe Blow:) I like the leaderboards, too, and I think your idea would open them up for more folks to be on. Just for fun!

  • I would also love to see Glitch daily leaderboards.
    - Most times to hell.
    - Most experience used in the last day.
    - Most streets visited in one day.

    Other ideas:
    - Most gifts given (although highest VALUE of items given would be even better).
    - Most times teleported
    - Rook attack related leaderboards.

    (Slightly scared of things like "Most piggies created." Anything that encourages over population could be problemmatic.)

  • More leaderboards would be amazing!!

    Though, I do fear, like LBO, that encouraging over-population of animals could be problematic, much like those achievements that require the making of piggies and butterflies.

  • Maybe most piggies petted, instead.  Or nibbled.  Or both. Fed would be a fine addition as well.

  • It would be interesting to see the rarest achievements. There are probably some that have never been achieved.

  • This is a great idea and would be really smart of them to just add to the API.  They can work on making the game great while the guys with the know how and time can create all sorts of leader boards.

    I just love the fact that this is a game with an API.  It can only get better. :3

  • There is an obvious one: most currants earned. How do we not have this yet? Other than XP, it's the biggest factor in measuring how far you've progressed.
