Lots of replies, will do my best to answer them.

If nobody at your location is pushing you then you should be attempting to compete with those who make the national top 20. Almost all of us here are in that same boat. It can be a daunting task, but also an enjoyable one.
And hopefully you play the game for trivia knowledge and to achieve the highest score you can each and every game. To hell with P+ points and badges, they aren't worth a second thought. Just play trivia.
That's true. I have actually been in the Top 20 score before, just once or twice. One was for Lexitopia when I got over 9,000. It said I was ...13th? But when I got to the website it had me at 25th. I always notice that. If I get 68 in the nation at the location it becomes 98 or so on the website haha.
And oh yeah it's certainly not about P+ points. And this badge thing...feels cheap, as if they are just reaching desperately for something to interest casual players.

First, I want say that I thought you were great in Dreamcatcher.
Second, the best way to get good at trivia is to play trivia.
If there were an easier, quicker recipe I would be happy to share it...
Why thank you. *bow*
I always wondered how much repeat questions come into play when deciding top scores. Do people who play all the time get a lot of "free passes" that way? I don't have even half a million points but I know I've recognized some repeats.

Guess i will have to fly from my island home to Calgary to play in a bar.
Sounds like it's time to move.

Welcome, MRGRAY, from the trivia gene puddle of Hillbillyville...West "By God" Virginia.
And you may want to plan some vacation time in mid-July to partake in a little trivia non-bash called Triviapalooza
Hey there. I think I saw your name in the top 20 when I played this past weekend. As well as you do, you must be hurting for local wins eh? :p And yeah I saw a thread on that the other day, looks very interesting. Especially if it IS the last one. Hope it's not, though.

Well welcome to the site. New blood is always good for us.
So where do you play ?
Got some bad news for you. My blood type designates me as the universal receiver. I can take anyone's blood but mine can only go to my people. :p It's cool though because when I donate they give it to babies that fit. That way they can use more accessible blood on others. 3.4% of the U.S. population has my type. AB+
And I play in Colonial Heights, Virginia. I don't feel like I have a "home" location, so mine is set to the place I played at during college. They had a really cool group of people and we all competed for restaurant credit. It was who had the most total points after playing Brainbuster, Showdown, and then the game that used to follow it.
And thanks to the others who welcomed me. Hope to get to know you all.
