We all know that Johnnyrocket will start playing from an IP in Kyrgrystan, just so he can see his name on the top of another leaderboard.

That's what I figured! Of course, being born in Australia and all I may have had some bias.

hee hee... very observant... but in that hour i also made a midnight snack and took the dog for a little walk... you know, making that list was kinda fun, in a therapeutic sort of way...

I suppose the Fin's won't like it... and Oh Canada....

You enjoying making these lists is an understatement. What would happen if there were no lists for you to make??

You know what I would like to see? I something like the total collective points for the top 20 players from each country. That would be interesting if you ask me.

You just brought a huge smile to Robinettes face I bet. I can hear her shouting with joy all the way over here in Michigan.

Not really, more players=greater chance of high scoring players. USA will come out top because most people from there play.

Awesome.

But this list is fairly meaningless, I mean what if a country has 10 players and all ranked around 2200, are they worse than a country who has only one player on the first page that's really high ranked and thousands of other cooks?

Looks like we need robinette!

heh oops....maybe i should read the entire thread first :oops:

Hmmm... that might sound interesting, but qeee is the 1st to note that this might lack some degree of relevance....

Oh but what the heck.... lets satisfy that curiousity and compare the 1st list to a list of collective points for the top 10 players from each country (20 is too many)
