I don't know if anyone else has noticed a player climbing the leaderboard and I would put money on that they will be a the top soon and probably go for the highest score record.
It's an interesting strategy that certainly takes a level of motivation and persistence to maintain, inviting new players that are recently registered to the site, not familiar with it and that will typically go awol. It has proven a sound strategy for this player and it's a sure fire way to continually climb the leaderboard with low..very low risk games.
I'm not sure I agree with the strategy, it certainly takes the spirit of the leaderboard away and it seems a very machiavellian. I would almost definitely put it in the category of stealing sweets from unsuspecting children.
I wonder if this has an impact on if the new payers will return to the site?
I take my pleasure, if that's what I would call it? from the fair competition of pitting my wits against other good players as apposed to finding a way around the fair play to win. It could be argued that there is nothing unfair about it but I base this on my understanding of the spirit of fair play. It could also be argued that the player is inviting them to games so they can play and learn from an experienced player?
Each to their own I suppose, this player is certainly not doing anything wrong but I find it interesting and amusing at the same time.
Before I get the 'There is nothing in the rules about this strategy', that is not what this post is about. It's just my opinion and observations of a particular strategy.
