I have someone at first place in my league with a 296, 000 for this! Is this a cheater? I can’t see how this is possible, 3 star group

@brookes Such a high score may be possible using power-ups. Top score so far on my FB list of trusted friends is 260k. On my “other” list, top score is just shy of 300k. Let’s give it a few days while the dust settles, k? ;) Cheaters never prosper, and they won’t get a new car or a toaster oven :)

Hi makin-bakin! (Cool name!) how did you get 231k for this level? I’ve only managed 212k and that was hard to get! Any suggestions?
I use PUs….
Thanks

@kyal I didn’t post my strat because there are better strats out there. Trusted friends on my FB list have scores in the 260k range with top score of 266k so far. They just haven’t posted their strats yet. So I’m unsure how they’re doing it. I also have another list of friends that I don’t know. Several of them have scores over 280k with top score at 299k. I suspect such high scores are either a glitch or they’re using cheat-hack software. They’ll be discovered soon enough and removed from leaderboards by Rovio.

In the meantime, here’s what I did on iPad Mini with PUs for 231k:
1) Blues+Golden (no PUs) on almost max arc. Split late just before it enters the large pit on bottom right. Avoid hitting the big diamond heart that turns ice into stone;
2) same shot as first bird to mop up as much as possible;
3) Black+KS to get all of structure on top right. Debris will blow back and hit big diamond heart and knock over the tower underneath;
4) WM+Bouncy+PP on downward angle to mop up as much as possible. With a little luck, WM will pick up a lot more points.

Let’s ask @angrychicken how he got 237k, k? :)

Rank: Sling God with 20685 points
By Angrychicken (@angrychicken)Score: 247,710

@dseufert 247k now with power-ups on pc as follows:

1: KS, any sling, aim so one of the blues breaks the crystal heart and one pops the first balloon of the upper right structure.
2: JS, down at the first hut, closest to the sling. if needed, aim a little higher to take outthe wooden support of the second hut with the jingles so that completely collapses.
3: JS or stone crusher at the half-destroyed structure at the top right to wipe it out.
4: WM, PP, bouncy sling, straight ahead, bouncing off the wall down into the structure at the bottom right (see screenshot)

Not sure how 260k would be achieved. Could be a mobile thing.

@angrychicken Thanks for sharing. Nice score. Tough level with or without PUs. On my list of trusted FB friends, Pjetlic (not a Nester) has top score of 266k so far. Is he on your FB list? For that matter, am I on your FB list? PM me, please :) I’m currently #61 on this level on my FB list of 500+/- friends. –MB :)

Bob, King Sling stays with you for the current game. Not per bird. If you use it on the first bird it will be with you on the last bird. No extra charge.

247 too, using jingle sling, not using king sling unti the last bird….. saves on powerups..

UPDATE: This level eats PUs :) It’s tough to score well. I spent almost 3 hours and a lot of PUs this morning on this level alone! This level may favor the PC platform. But here’s what I did on mobile (iPad Mini) for 247k:
1) Blues+Golden (no PUs yet) on max arc. Split very late so that BB goes “down the shaft” to get ice just to the lower right of the big diamond heart. Tip: do not break the diamond heart!
2) Blues (no PUs yet) on steep downward angle to get nearest structure and all dice on lower left. Tip: do not break the diamond heart!
3) Black+KS to get everything on upper right tier. Some debris should blow back and break the diamond heart while toppling the tower underneath;
4) WM+PP on slight upward angle to “scoop up” remaining pigs, dice, and stone debris in the middle pit. Tough shot. Good luck. I have a screenshot, if anyone wants to see it. But I’m way back in the pack. Top scores are in the 260k range on PC.

Thanks for the response, but when I see the top player in my group with over 200,000 more points than the rest of us in the top 10 spots it makes me think ‘cheater’. I don’t want to spend money to play and be kicked down the road by someone who isn’t playing by the rules. The person in second place is also in the same situation with 200,000 more points. It just doesn’t seem possible.

Hi Bree @brookes I know the frustration you may be feeling. There are generally two groups of ABF players:’those who use power-ups and those who do not. It is nearly impossible for those who do not use power-ups to compete with those who do. The difference in scores can be several thousand k-points, or even 100-200k as you mentioned.

If you suspect cheaters here on the Nest, you can flag them on your summary leaderboard page. This will alert Sal and other moderators of the Nest’s admin staff to further review. The Nest is completely separate and independent of Rovio’s ABF league play, however. If you suspect cheaters in your league, then report them directly to Rovio.com.

Besides Sal’s excellent walk-through videos each week, I find non-PU strats by @terribletom to be extremely useful, too. Their strats are a good starting point to modify and create your own strat, with or without PUs.

In any case, regardless of scores, the Nest is the only “safe” place to share strats, screenshots, videos, and post comments. It’s a social forum to meet new friends with AB games in common. You won’t find such a forum on Rovio but a link right back here to AngryBirdsNest.com. Thanks for sharing, Bree. Sorry I can’t be more help.

I’m in the same league as you this week, you’re currently at 14 with 1,583,740 and I’m at 23 with 1,537,510 (akaBruno)….I’m shocked at the top 11 scores. I’ve seen some of these names before (Sharad, Dariusz), and am at a loss how some have scores 200K more than me.

MB, thanks yes I’m in Diamond league and always use power ups. But I have never seen the top two in any league be over 200,000 points ahead of the rest of us in the top ten. I will contact Sal to look at this. I’m surprised they have lasted this long. Normally I see the cheating weasels pulled very quickly. I’m in a 3 star player Diamond group so not our first rodeo lol!

I always look at the great stats everyone posts and find them extremely helpful. I’m a pretty decent player and love the game, but get frustrated when cheaters show up. My current scores are pretty good and I’m in line with the leaderboards, however I am totally stumped on #3, just can’t get my little birdies to do what I want, oh well still in the top 10. Well for now anyway lol! Thanks for being so very nice and providing guidance, us old nana ladies love the game!!! But cheaters should not be messing with us grannies haha!

Bree, @brookes Send me a friend request here on the Nest. We can chat in private. I’m “more mature,” too (60yo, tired and retired community college instructor :) I’ve got… lemme think… four grandkids. The youngest just turned 1yo last week. The oldest (7yo?) got his first iPad last Christmas and has started to play ABF! LOL :D

I hear things on here of people cheating, but I still don’t understand how you can even cheat on this game. Unless you have a way to get free money to buy power ups or something.

While I’m here, I want to thank all the contributors who post their strategies. They help me a lot.

Thank you for your faith in me @thevs but I hardly played this week. Only tried each level 3 times on PC only and not mobile. Will start to play tomorrow. We are playing a FB team tournament on 3 story levels and my focus is there at the moment. My FB friends list does include the best legit players in the world and 5 of my friends have scores in 266k. Highest known legit score at the moment is 266960 in this level. Highest score in my league is also 298k and an obvious cheater score. I am starting to lose interest in the game due to the cheaters being forced on us. In friends I can kick them easy and do it. In leagues we have little to no control. I stopped sending requests to Rovio about cheaters since it wastes my playing time only.

@bobby-staller Please show a screenshot of your score for this level as it is so implausibly high that I think I would consider betting the farm that it is a typo, randomly entered or obtained using a third party cheat aid.

Bobby, your scores are way too high to be credible. On this level, 267k is legit max among the top players worldwide. Verified by screenshots or videos per level, not summary score page. Please provide the rest of us with a screenshot, video, or at least a text-description of your score(s). Competition is fierce :)

Total score for all levels among top legit players worldwide for this tournament is currently 1700k. Any scores over 1700k, like yours, may be questionable.

What browser are you using? IE, Safari, Firefox, or BlueStacks?
What platform are you using: PC or mobile?

We would like to know so we might be able to achieve excellent scores such as yours. Thanks for sharing, Bobby, and Happy Flinging! –MB :)
