    @dollarbill2208 I was harsh on that boast88 fella, but you know that it wasn’t just a score or two that were so out of bounds. His explanations were so sketchy & vague, too. I realize that it can be easy to forget your strategy after not playing for awhile, but after I read the comment about him thinking he could use Super Seeds on more than one bird in a round, and then him switching his story around and saying that he forgot that Super Seeds don’t work on all the birds, I just KNEW that guy was full of it. You know better than anybody that the guy would have to use thousands upon thousands of Power-Ups to get the scores he has, so there’s just no way in hell that he’d forget something like that. I don’t think it’s crazy to assume that he might be using a hack of some sort. They certainly exist for the other Angry Birds games. I was just hoping that It wouldn’t creep into the Facebook version of Angry Birds.

      Mobus, I’m with you on this one. I’m trying to play the diplomat here, and get at least one party to compromise, or change a little something that will make everyone happy, and also be the right thing to do. But I think it’s going to be difficult. This one doesn’t have to have video proof. If one is not comfortable making videos, here’s what you do. When you get your 110k or whatever, take the screen shot CTRL+Prnt Scrn of the level as it is finishing, but before it gives the 3-star display. This way we can see for ourselves there are still 3 or 4 birds left, and all pigs are gone. And by the way, all those little ice and wood blocks at the bottom had better be gone as well. This is something you can’t fake. Otherwise everyone including myself is going to be calling BS. It’s simply too high, and that’s all there is to it. Trust me, we’re not stupid, we know what’s possible and what’s not. Ask them to do it again. If they can’t, then take the scores down. Otherwise you may see valuable members get so upset that they follow Lamia and leave ABN, and I can’t blame them. There HAS to be something we can do.

        I wish AB had instant replay. Other games do, and you can save your replay on some of them. It was something I suggested when I took the recent AB survey on FB. Maybe they have their reasons for not having it, but it would be nice. If boast88 could have saved even one of his replays for an insane score, that would give him so much more credibility.
        There’s more to life than AB, but I came here for honest competition, and someone using a hack can ruin the motivation for players like me & Lamia. I won’t delete my account, but I won’t play as much if I know people are cheating. I saw this video before AB for FB came out. It killed my motivation to play for quite awhile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNML5OEw2A8

          If I may inject my opinion…hope I am not out of line doing so. I know, because I have unfriended people on facebook, that there are powerup hacks out there. I don’t usually even use powerups, and I would certainly never cheat and use hacked ones. Rovio needs to make it so the scores show a powerup symbol in the leaderboard on the tournaments so you know if your “friend” is being honest with you about their usage. And surely they can make a short algorithm that could detect a powerup hack usage. What say ye?
