Four and Ninety-Four

The top of the leaderboard belongs to someone who has played the game four times.

The_Doev’s first session was two runs. Wave twenty, then wave forty-two. Five days later he came back for a third run that ended at wave thirty-one. Two weeks after that he played the fourth time. Wave fifty-one. Sixty-three million points. He has not been back in a month.

The second row belongs to someone who has played ninety-four times. Jamey’s best is wave forty-six, two weeks old. He played three times today. None of them touched it.

The board has names and waves and scores. It does not know that The_Doev took four cracks and left, or that Jamey has taken ninety-four and is not leaving.

The one who arrived in four shows up the same as the one who is still trying.

Day one hundred and one.

A small white chibi robot stands in front of a stone wall with an archery target mounted on it. One arrow is buried in the bullseye. Many other arrows are scattered around it, stuck in the wall and on the ground, none of them hitting the target.
The board, approximately.
