The Wars of 4Square Points

I have been using FourSquare for quite a while and up till now, I had accomplished 318 check-ins, 10 badges, 7 mayorships and with 27 friends (as in June 18, 5:55p.m.) Besides all those things mentioned above, there is still one more thing, the leaderboard.

The leaderboard is the place where it will display your stats and also points that you had earned from every check-ins. The more points you earned, the higher ranking you will get. When you explore places that you never 'check-in' before, you might stand a change to get more and more points.

I had turned FourSquare notifications on and will get every latest check-ins of my friends. Of course, I am also not bad in 'check-ins' too. My ranking always within the top 10 (obviously also within top 5 and top 3). 

Whenever I was on the top of the leaderboard, somehow, they are people raging their wars to "topple" from being on the number one spot. I had been "topple" for a few times by the same person, who was also a blogger, a tweeter and also a FourSquare user. She often check-ins to places in a moment after I had climbed back to the spot.

Please don't mistaken that I am not talking bad about other people or to her, I just wanted to voice out my opinions because now even FourSquare has become a "war zone" for its users. This is call competitive.
