Per usual in these Decathlons, Day 5 of the Wonder Girls / 2PM Decathlon was a bit controversial. There was a bug found by Ningin user LISARRHH (thanks again!), that allowed people to submit their scores twice. That used to not be a problem until we switched to a random system of selecting winners that uses number of scores submitted as a variable in determining winners. About two dozen of you took advantage of that either mistakenly or intentionally. Read on to see my decision on this.

While I found that about two dozen players had at least one score submitted twice, there was only about 6 that did it repeatedly - for like every score. Whether or not these six did it intentionally or just didn’t know better, the results remain that they have an unfair advantage over people who didn’t submit their scores twice. Well Ningin wasn’t created to catch flash game cheaters and even though we seem to be plagued by them, I don’t want to disqualify or ban people for this. I also don’t want to manually find duplicate scores and delete them in a pool of 7k+ scores. Instead, and I hope you can agree that this is a fair compromise, those 6 people are disqualified for Day 5 of the Decathlon and can proceed normally in the remaining days. In actuality, only one of those six were in the top 20 anyway so the effect of this decision isn’t profound.

The other interesting thing was the distribution of scores. It seems that hana_jaejoong was the only one who really figured this game out. jerrimaine09 finished second with almost 100k fewer points. To give you more perspective, the mean of everyone’s combined score is 5866. So yea, good job hana_jaejoong! You’ll also notice that only the first 26 people are eligible to win prizes based on everyone’s distribution of scores.

And hana_jaejoong is also the random winner for Day 5. Congrats!

I don’t want you guys to think that only the first place winner gets a prize. It’s just been happening that way.

Those of you in the top 20, enjoy your chibi Nichkhun pin! Those of you not in the top 20, don’t fret. There’s plenty of time left. Plus you could always win the random prizes just for playing everyday!

Notes:
-no one get points for providing tips because this is one of those games that is all about skill.

Also, ignore what I said about the IP address thing. We’ll see if we get more cheaters without it.

Good luck on Day 5 =)
