Name changes
Same player, new name: these top 200 players changed their display name during August 2026. We track every player by a stable internal id, so a rename never hides a history. Underlined entries are complete identity changes, with nothing in common with the previous name.
Entries this month that cannot be verified against our snapshot history, or gains that would require an implausible amount of daily play. Pace estimates and history checks, not accusations.
Jack
entered the all-time top 200 directly at #1 with 1,234,583,920 Brilliance and no prior history in our snapshots.
Implausible
That total is higher than any score ever recorded on this board, so the entry is excluded from the report's totals and lists.
John
entered the all-time top 200 directly at #16 with 43,501,969 Brilliance and no prior history in our snapshots.
Unverified new
A first sync can carry months of play at once, so the entry is excluded from the totals until a later snapshot confirms it.
MamaRose
entered the all-time top 200 directly at #66 with 31,903,258 Brilliance and no prior history in our snapshots.
Unverified new
A first sync can carry months of play at once, so the entry is excluded from the totals until a later snapshot confirms it.
