    I've added a new table to the scores page called <a href="http://dcsquares.c99.org/scores.php?super">Weekly superlatives</a> that shows who has the highest score, combo, time, and most games played for the current week.

    I'm considering adding some more humourous awards like the most addicted one, such as "Most easily distracted" - lowest time, "Least risky" - lowest combo, "Most clumbsy" - lowest score, "Gave up already" - lowest games, but I don't want to come across as being offensive instead of sarcastic. Opinions?

    lol those Weekly Superlatives are great :D
    You could add top 5 to the Highest combo, longest time, most addicted and most time wasted and add most catched squares in the superlatives and in general Scores list :)

    any comments about this?

    btw: how about a small list of "last games" including the scores, combo, time, squares and doesn´t matter who played i. e. you can be on that list twice or more often if you played the last 5 games.

    The number of squares caught isn't recorded by the automatic score submitter, only by the score codes (this is something I didn't notice until I started working on that superlative). I'll probably release a 2.0.1 update in a few weeks that will enable this.

    As for the top 5 for each superlative:

    The 2.0 beta series had another mode of play, "Challenge Mode", which would allow you to complete specific missions, such as "Collect 100 squares in 30 seconds", or "Surive for one minute". Because of time, that mode was removed from 2.0.0, but will hopefully be enabled again for 2.2.0 (which will not be out for a long time). When challenge mode is back in, the website will have seperate tables for each level, to show the top 5 people that got the most squares in 1 minute, or who got 100 squares the fastest, etc.

    There are some other exciting features planned for 2.2, but I'll announce more about them at a later time 8)

    I like the superlatives idea, sounds cool :D. we are players, it's all about fun, being on top of a funny chart won't kill anybody.
