I don't think that a global high score is useful for pretty much
anything. What I would personally care about is how I am ranking
compared to my friends. It would be nice to have some sort of high
score sharing/synchronizing feature over telepathy. Logs of the
results of previous sudoku battles would be the most interesting thing
IMO. I think this is what the original idea here was about too?

It would be a nice feature but not critical for the soc.
