Speaking of hackers, the current leader on the Experience board ‘Tim’ is one. Compare his stats to, say, Terri’s.

Alz - The XP subscription does exactly what it says, it doubles experience, from any source. As such, it multiplies but doesn’t ‘skew’.

As Opal said, there are many different ways to play and the patterns produced on the board can be informative, but only to a point. For example, I play mostly on the edges because those squares offer the most reward in experience points. My middle map is a bit of a wasteland. Also, I have focused on a few venues that I find easy. I have a couple red squares that are over 600% Magister. Had I spread all those plays evenly over other squares I could have turned 20 more locations red. The map doesn’t have a vertical dimension and can’t reveal the height of play foci.

I much admire players whose maps reveal a breadth of play and experience — all black or nearly all red. I aspire to match them one day. Except for maybe Candy World. I’m done with that. There’s crime scene tape on the entrance.
