Idk if those where the exact figures but that answers who had the highest stats. I believe he put them into UA too.
it was w4 or the beginning of w5. It was an overflow error on a signed Int, so instead of subtracting, it added a couple billion and no error was thrown.
Whats even funnier is when you add 1 to negative -1 and corrupt whatever is in the next memory address, but modern processors are pretty much immune to that anymore if I recall right. (I had written some funny play code that just did strange stuff in assembly back in the days of Apple IIs, TRaSh 80s, and Commodores. You just couldn't break those computers short of physical damage because BIOS was hardwired and couldn't be changed without replacing a ROM. The software, on the other hand, was very easy to hack.)
Anyway.... I'm completely off topic. Sorry all. I'm getting old and us old folk just have to reminisce once in a while.

If I recall the mechanic correctly, the tracker vs perpetrator scores also count for number of scents gathered at once as well as the difficulty and accuracy of the tracking attempts. Thus, if you gather two scents and only have a small percentage accuracy (in other words, you have a 320 deg pie wedge vs a 45 deg wedge), what's the likelihood of you trying to get more scents to find the guy that killed your forager? You'll have a tracker on hand with a huge tracking score, you'll hire a ranger, or you'll quickly give up in futility.
What does it take to get this score? Beats me. Wouldn't surprise me if someone is running around with 1000 INT and 1000 stealth, though. Compare that to your 6400 tracking.
