icon RPG Scorepoint Quirks/Bugs (+3)  
I'm just going to detail a few things about current scores that don't currently work correctly, just so that both players and developers are aware of them. Some of these bugs are more to do with CaravelNet than DROD RPG, but I'm listing it all here just in case.

1. When you achieve a Scorepoint you've already completed before, you get an "nth Place" even if your new score doesn't beat your old one. The oddest thing about this is that your old score is also taken into account when calculating what place to show, so if you activate the same scorepoint twice with exactly the same score, you might see "1st Place" the first time and "2nd Place Tie" the second.

Also, with regards to this, since 1st Places are shared, it would make more sense to show "1st Place Tie" in the event you submit a score that is awarded 100 points but does not beat any previous score.

2. The stats that show up in individual scorepoints are incorrect until the spider has verified them. I'm assuming this is what is listed as fixed in the Build 56 notes, but since it isn't released yet, I can't be sure.

3. The three ending scorepoints in Hold Anonymous are rejected by the CaravelNet spider. My assumption is that the spider does not like the fact that the hold ends on the exact same turn. Schik seems to have fixed this one. Thanks, Schik!

4. I'm getting the impression that batch uploads don't work with DROD RPG, at least with scorepoints. CaravelNet would not accept the results of "Report My Progress" or "Upload Hold Scores" -- it didn't even get as far as being an unverified score to be looked at by the spider.

As a result of this last issue, I recommend that players save prior to activating every checkpoint, in case they need to reactivate it manually.

Not sure if this was part of the known/fixed bug or not:

Unverified scores on CaravelNet sometimes show incorrect Keys and Greckles stats. In the attached screenshot of a CaravelNet high scores list, my actual key count and greckles are [possible minor spoilers for Paycheck],

The key count and gold shown by CaravelNet are from when I entered the final room for the last time, but I still had to spend some of each to reach the scorepoint.

My ATK is also incorrect, but that's a known issue: CaravelNet shows it as it would be without equipment until the save is verified.

The dialog which appears in-game when I reach the scorepoint shows the correct ATK, keys, gold, and correctly calculated score.

The scores, points, stats, etc., for the 'Spider defeated!' checkpoint from Unfriendly Islands are actually the scores, points, stats, etc., for the 'Spider defeated!' checkpoint from 67-th Grayman adventures.
It took me a while to figure that out. Sheesh.

Can this get fixed at some point? Shouldn't take too long, huh? Thanks. :)

Serves me right for having generically-named scorepoints. :(
