Are we sure some top players are legitimate?
Two of the top 10 players have less than 100 games played (82 and 44), and win rates above 50% (61% and 57%). I think these are insane metrics, especially early on when you’re still figuring out all the players and strategies. Are we sure these are legitimate? Tangentially related, I feel a 100-heat minimum for the HOF isn’t far-fetched, either. Longevity matters for the Hall, and it makes it a little harder and time-consuming to spoof straight to the top.

The short answer is no. I'm not sure. The long answer is that I did a deep dive into these accounts and while they weren't obviously cheating, obviously the scores with that little play is suspect. So I did a round of anti-cheat patches last week and if they don't show up in the coming weeks to play, they'll be removed from the leaderboard.
