Is that really a bug/problem?  I thought it was supposed to do that.

this is intentional. its to randomize the list. we dont have a 'top' story. we have top stories. no one story is above the rest. so they randomized it. nice that you noticed it though.

Right. It's all randomized from the top stories.

The problem with the original listing was that it ranked by score, but within that score, it gave precedence to most recent storygame.

So, if there was one eight (Mommy) and twelve sevens, only the four most recent sevens would show up on the top stories list.  Not exactly fair to great older games.  So it orders them by rank, but then randomizes within the rank. (An eight will always be above a seven, but the sevens' order changes.)

Then there was the front page listing.  While people agreed that those (five?) in each category were the best, they didn't want to try and decide whether, say, Magus or Snow was "better."  So it randomizes.
