Could be. Do you get a state ranking in your report?

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.
I don't see to be able to see the state ranking. LB didn't know why.

Hmmm. Do you have a Default Zip Code entered in your User Setting page and a Home State in your User Profile? Maybe WG doesn't know where you live?

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.

No, but you closed the gap some.

Your hit rate puts mine to shame. You'd think more people would participate in WG in this college town!
I think the hit rate on 1s is higher than that on larger denominations. Given your total value entered, it looks like you have entered quite a few larger bills. This will make your hit rate lower.

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.....

Woo hoo!

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!

Your state ranking is better than your overall ranking, too, Cal!

Is this some kind of Lake Woebegone effect?

Did I just leapfrog Marley? I don't think so unless you can drop when you don't get a hit.

You did! My George Score is only 620.70 at the moment.

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.

So the George score is a better choce for comparison?

Fine with me!

D'oh! You've got a .39 lead on me!

Even if we're both #8,190, somehow.

Oh, the higher the number the better in this case?

I thought you were winning!

And how can we both be the same number?

That can't be right! I mean I don't mind sharing, but.....

Yes, the higher the George Score, the better.

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?

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.....

Sheesh, who is eating all my Georges?

It has now been almost 16 months since I've seen a WG bill.

I'm not trying to claim my own trademark; more like I'm defending the public domain status of the <sigh>.
