well done all you rarified pigs, !! Wouldn't it be nice if once you made "rarified pig" that you were pulled off the top player list and shown on a separate list which identified which player made it 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.? I don't like it now, as I never wanted to knock Gerda or GB down in position. They made it 1st and 2nd and the list should reflect this. As it is now, I'm picturing 20 "rarified pigs" jocking for position at the trough! That's not really fair for the other players to come as a lot of the excitement is seeing your name make it up the ranks and getting to the top 20 list. What do you guys and gals think?

I don't mind being knocked down in position, I was happy to finish the goal of the game. At the end, right before reaching rarified pig, I didn't think of the points - I had about 1,000 points to go so I just played a quick 2,500 point layout. Not realizing that if a player has 1,000 points to go and plays a 10,000 point layout they would be ranked higher. Eventually some of us may be knocked off the list entirely! lol I was just so happy to reach that goal. First to see Gerda's name there (whoops of joy came from my office that morning), and then the thrill of making it through those last layouts to be the second player was a blast. And I had a great time doing it with Gerda in the game. And it's still fun exchanging the names of new designers in the game with other players. So I think that all of us that get there should be happy with reaching the goal no matter where we end up on the list - it was a lot of fun and we'll always have that. You worked hard to get the end Sparkling Lady, and created a ton of layouts to help everyone else. So did Gerda. And I was thrilled to see you get Rarified Lightning Pig. We all got there in the end, and we can celebrate each time that a new player reaches the goal, no matter where we end up on the top players list.

Oh! I don't know what I was thinking, I thought that once you reached Rarified Lightning Pig, you stopped getting points for layouts. I guess because that message shows up when you finish each layout. But I just tested it out and played a few layouts and moved up to the number #1 spot. Oh shoot. Every day I checked with Gerda to see where she was so I wouldn't pass her in the game. Apologies Gerda for pushing you down on the list. Yeah, I do agree now that a separate list should be made so that people don't pass each other once they get Rarified Lightning Pig. We'll all still be playing layouts so we'll all continue getting points, but it would be nice if the list was fixed according to the order that people reached the last rank.

This is really a mystery rank. You can't see how far you're before or behind the next players. I disagree with a fixed seperate list. The competive element was gone, I thought, becoming a rarified pig. I got a daily double right after, playing another layout, just for looking what happened. What is the use of that I thought. Didn't play anymore because it didn't matter anymore playing for the points I thought. All wrong. Was thinking of throwing the Gerda player off the game. The only reason I didn't was because I haven't completed the Octomino series yet. Have to work hard to become number 1 again lol. Have shared all layouts of Maryke for the benefit of others to help becoming Rarified. Ranked up her as well as Dutch Dragon. Now I go on playing as myself into eternity. Might be not that competive anymore. Don't know yet. For now I need to slow down. It is nice to see the number one changing.

Finally made it to rareified pig. Thank you all especially sparkling lady, gb, gerda , nkii and a lot of others for taking the time and effort to make some wonderful and some fast designs. I don' t think it would be possible to make the last lightning pig without the fast layouts. I also feel that it was to many points to go for, it just seemed never ending. I think if bfg had made it about 10 to 15 instead of nearly 24 it would have been much better. You get to the stage that you feel like giving up. I think it may put a lot of players off when they see the last section and it is a shame because they have also worked hard to get there. Anyway back to the boards have got some big layouts that need done that I have been trying to do for ages, so will go and give them a go. ;D

Congrats to all the RL pigs! I finally made it to lightening pig. Wow, only 22,648,432 more points to go! Sheesh! At least it's not the 100 mil that I thought it might be! It does look like a ton of points though, 24 mil is a lot of playing! Has anyone figured out how many points total one must get to get to the very last RLP level?? I bet that number would really make us go WOW! *grin*

Congratulations to maureenh for making it to Rarified Lightnig Pig, that is a great accomplishment and it's wonderful to see your name on that rank. I still remember when I first started playing the game and kept seeing your name at the top of the best times lists, you're a great player. Big karma point for you. And congratulations to Anne too for making it to Lightning Pig, you've worked hard in the game and it's great to see you move up too. And I'm happy to let you know that once you reach RLP you don't have to move through the Bronze, Silver, etc ranks. Karma for you too today, way to go.

Thank you for the karma point Gerda. Since Kimky kept passing me on the top players list I decided to rank up a bit more. Now I want to see you get that #1 spot back!

Did they just give UP? Everyone else seems to be passing them by. Hugh Congratulations to Maureen for reaching Rareified Pig. And a Karma point to Anne for making it to Lightning!

It looks like ing1952 made Rarified Lightning Pig today. I think this player moved up a little bit more slowly than other players because he/she always plays in Speed mode, not Concentration mode.
