Ok, just a couple questions....

1. Are the players shown in the rankings REAL people playing this game? I ask because I can find none of them in the "member list" and find it odd there are no threads about this new wrinkle to the game.

2. What's the deal with the time? Last round, I saw I had like 2+ hours left. 20 minutes later, the game is over and I get passed by like 5 people. Not cool.

3. Why, when I win a level I've won before, sometimes I'm giving an extra lighting bolt (life) and other times you take one away?

Thanks for any responses.....
