    think my duck had emigrated to oz-not had a post card since!
    i didnt log on to see my duck for a few days and then as soon as i did, i suddenly got postcards from oz, mexico and china all at the same time

    its a big shame that people cheat, spoils it for the rst of us who try to compete fairly

    I haven't been disqualified because they e-mailed me today :D...I was on top of the leader board earlier today but for some reason where it say's what date the duck was started it just said aload of numbers, so they took it off. Problem with the leader board I'm guessing. But trust me, you can do it in 4 day's, 20 hours and 5 mins :).

    As long as you're at your computer all of or most of that time then you can honestly do it.

    P.S.I have not cheated, I wouldn't have a clue how to cheat and certainly do not know of any cheating programs which you stated. I'm not very good with computers and I'm only young.

    I don't think my duck's found her water wings yet but I'm really confused. I thought the idea was to actually care for your duck. Surely if a "cheat" program has been used the 02 boffins would be able to check so us genuines could have a proper chance of winning? Quick Quack are you the Quo guy currently in 2nd place? x
  • Bar69, no im not... my duck came about 300th!
    300th thanks to a glitch that worked against me! :-(

    Can anybody else not see the leaderboard any more or is it just me

    Louie, I'm happy for you that you havent been disqualified, but if the numbers dont add up then maybe your reprieve days are numbered? and what has being young got to do with not running cheat engine etc? are you trying to claim that you are young and therefore you must be innocent! My 15 year old son knows far far more about hacking things and pulling programs to bits than i ever will ever know.

    When you log in with your own details it shows the top 10 & then your own duck underneath & it's place number

    Didn't say it had anything to do with it, just saying I wouldn't know how to do it! Basically, they have to let you know if you've been disqualified. A few people on here have been disqualified and they have received e-mails. They also definitely have to tell you if you have, if you have beaten the person at the top but you only beat them because of 'glitch'. I haven't got no e-mail saying I have been disqualified. All I know is that I have been very devoted to my duck have stayed awake for most of the 4 day's, 20 hours and I haven't seen no glitch and the miles haven't considerably jumped.

    BAR69 you can only see the top 10 on the leaderboard doesn't show you the rest. Also, if you are having trouble viewing the leaderboard clear the cache on your internet browser :)
