changedI've changed the way in which games are sorted, it's now getting the required number of games, then sorting by reverse time played for HP - which makes it significantly more difficult for people with larger lists and slightly harder for people with average lists.
changedThis is a server-side change, so no game update.
changedLeaderboards probably need a reset due to this, but that will sort itself out when I setup Season 1 (we're currently on Season 0)
