My state ranking of 94.8% vs. my overall ranking of 84.4% seems to indicate that New Yorkers just aren't into this game.

Re: WG Update
The zip code is always already there. I went and added stuff to my profile and refreshed the report part, but no state stuff popped up.MarleysGh0st wrote:Hmmm.

Your hit rate puts mine to shame. You'd think more people would participate in WG in this college town!
Of course, my hit rate is even lower than yours, so what do I know?
My hit rate on fives is a LOT better than it is on ones, but that may be due to the fact that I stamp the big faced bills differently than ones.....

And your state rank is significantly higher than your overall rank, too. There must be some states where someone's state rank would be lower than their overall rank, or that doesn't make sense!

When looking back at previous posts in this thread, we've got to compare that score, rather than our ranks, which will be getting adjusted continuously as other Georgers log their activity. The nerve!
And we can drop in score, if we have more than five days of inactivity, I think.

And then the ranking number is just putting everyone in order by their George Score. But...those rankings are changing all the time, as other Georgers are logging their bills. So, unless we update our rankings at exactly the same time, we're not getting a precise comparison with that, like we are with George Score, itself.
The fact that our rankings are still tracking so close together that they actually appear identical is just another fun but eerie part of our leap-frog game!
I think I asked beast before if there's a WG discussion thread about how and why they chose their very peculiar formula for calculating the George Score. Eh, beast?

Re: WG Update
After my second hitless day of the week, my bill report for the last 10 days shows only 14 hits. I am pretty sure I would have to go back at least 5 years to when I was still a relative newbie to find the last time I had that few hits over a 10 day span.....
