Any comments?



Yes, the reason is obvious. Even if you ignore the fact that that game can be easily modified, or setup a special scoreboard for every major mod, the conditions of game play are so wildly variable that comparing scores is meaningless. A game with 'Only colonize your own atmosphere' and 'Only colonize your own planet type' enabled is completely different than a game with all planets available. A game with stellar manipulations techs disabled is completely different than a game that allows them. There's no end to the possible variations. So, there's no reason for MM to try to build a "Hall of Fame" or other score tracking into the game. That only works for video games or other very narrow systems.
