Ummm, somethings not right

a baby 179 530 526 69 45 24

How is this gremlin a baby with 69 fights and over 1000xp??? That would take a miraculous amoount of planning/playing and having virtually every baby challenge him. Also means he got an average of 14xp per fight which means he had to of been closely matched with all 69 people.

Dave,

It sounds like someone has a chip on their shoulder! ;-)

The fact is dispater, a lot of us joined in the past week after reading about it on a website forum. Within a couple of days, it`s popularity grew and there is a friendly league table within our forums, with users trying to fight as many fellow forum users as possible.

500 points can be easily obtain by just telling your mates!

No conspiracy, just friendly competition between fellow forum users! (No you can`t join our forums!)..........

Not a chip on my shoulder and not 500pts we`re talking about here either.

A baby is 1-2 days, maybe 3 but never seen it. I understand referrals and such, so not a biggie there, but to have a baby be in the rankings w/most teenagers and primes does look a bit odd.

Higest I ever got was #3, in history #27, but that was before the sta/dex grems went rampant.

At the time Bob had the most fights ever at 500+ now an average top grem is fighting around 700+

It`s not about waa I can`t get to the top, as I generally have fun just fighting them, though refusals do irk me. I personally refuse to go all sta/dex and so becuase of that will never be in the top again, at least not untill the code changes, if it ever does, so no biggie there.

It`s just very odd that even with referals and all a BABY grem will have 70 fights and average 14pts per. It typically takes a more aged gremlin to be in the category to gain so much XP per fight and very rare to have had so many fights in such a short time. As I said the ave top gremlin has 700+ fights in his lifetime, so around 23 a day, not from 35-70 a day.

Of course if you have started with 500 extra points it brings his average down to 7pts a match, much like the match we had.

I agree......its not fair.....one or two is okay but more than that is just spoiling it for everyone.......another thing that p***es me off is all the stooopid gremlins on the last page who havent fought anyone.......damn it if you are going to do it at least fight them a bit........and another thing, is Robert John Shepard a real boy or is he some £4 billion secret government computer sent to us to see whats going on.......anyone got any ideas talk to me.........www.ithinkpeoplearerobots.com.........

imho he`s real as i got an email back off him yesterday.

you are not the only one getting p****d off with all the lower ranked gremlins not fighting i have 12 challenges i am waiting on being accepted that i have made in the past two days since the sillycow died and return of the silly cow was born.

i`ve done all the proper things and checked that they have activity in their green bar and then i`ve even gone and checked that they are still fighting or they were when i made the challenges. i`ve had very few challenges back as well. i`m sorry but 8 challenges out of 20 made in two days is poor odds.

looks like we all have to do what jifdave has done and "bribe/bully/cajole" everybody we know to have gremlins so you can fight them and them alone to not only get the xp but also get the number of fights he is. and i`m not full of sour grapes nor do i have a chip on my shoulder...... they make a mess

damn right 8 out of 20 is poor......couldnt they do something about it? like introduce a five or ten day no play rule that your gremlin gets terminated?

if you want u can fight me......im about 200, 400, 400 jus now if you`re interested. I`m called FatboySnail......around rank 140.

thanks for the offer of a fight and i`ll challenge you in the morning.

trouble is all the gremlins i`ve challenged have been fighting either earlier that day or the day before but obviously return of the sillycow is too scary for them.
