Perhaps cut and paste the scores on a weekly basis, so that everyone knows where they stand, rather than spending time setting up any sort of realtime system?
Would provide incentive for people lower down the ratings to climb the ladder - scores of x000's+ are a touch daunting to reach.
I don't understand...
I would assume that the DB software has a tracking system of some kind for scores.
It would probably be an effort for Matlu to integrate this system into a website/java based format showing everyone's scores.
However, it might be fairly simple for him to cut & paste the scores onto a webpage, or the forum, so that people can see where they stand.
Ah, would this be just CB scores?
My 2c.
For long term addictivity, there has to be a long term objective for players of any game on duelboard.
Hence, add a long term objective.
Something along the lines of a persistent scoreboard linked between all the games might be a good one.
