PALGN TrueAchievements Leaderboard
The leaderboard is public, so you can just add yourselves. You will need a trueachievements account (register here). If your gamertag is different to your PALGN username, maybe just do a quick post here so we can know who's who.

Hey cool, 10 people were added to the leaderboard yesterday! 
You can also sort the leaderboards by overall percentage complete. So to mix things up a bit, I might do that every now and then. I might do that now actually, and I'll switch it back after 24hrs.
Edit: holy crap @ AIC's 99.60% 
Legendary.

That percentage business is silly. GS is the only thing that should matter as that is what Microsoft included for their console and online service. Making up other ways of showing stats is just a way for nerds to feel better about themselves imo.

Surely Microsoft also included the percentage of completed games into their systems aswell...?

Anyone can get a high gamerscore with lots of games and not much effort though, percentage just highlights the effort put in. It's just another way to look at the numbers.
30% is pretty good theory. I'd say 30% would be somewhere near the average for people that complete the single-player kind of thing, but don't really go out of their way too much for extra achievements.

Oh I wasn't saying it because of my own score, I couldn't care less about my stats or my gamerscore or anything. And why shouldn't someone get a high gamerscore with not much effort? If it's available and out there, then as far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with it.
It's like when people are playing a game and say not to do a particular move that is in the game because it is cheating, for example throwing in Street Fighter. It's part of the game, end of story. Same for games like TMNT which are easy to get 1000 GS for... it's supposed to be easy!

I worked my ass off for that 77% completion percentage  . It would be higher but I've kind of lost interest in achievements and just play whatever I feel like now. I did find it much more satisfying getting a high completion percentage rather than a high gamerscore. Anyone can get a high gamerscore but seeing all 1000s in your gamercard looks a lot nicer, in my opinion anyway.

There are some games I have put in once or twice. I doubt this could give a real representation of effort.

Yeah, I wasn't meaning to sound like it's wrong or cheating to have a low % complete with a high gamerscore. I think it all just depends on how you spend your time, whether you prefer a big variety or not and whether you care about achievements. The total gamerscore is the main thing, that's what the leaderboard and achievements are all about. Some people like to work on their completion % too though, and a good completion rate is something to be proud of as well, just like a good total gamerscore. So I don't mind switching it every now and then so we can see how everyone is going in that area. I'll keep it set to total gamerscore most of the time though.

Hehe, I may be 2nd atm, but I haven't played that many games with my new account yet When I play Gears of War and Hexic, percentages may go down. Though not if I can help it
Oh and furianshi, you sent me a friend request to my old account lol, I used that account just as a dummy to display the gamercards in that guide I made. But I made my true account just now, friend request sent!
And Fearthevoices....awwwwww shit XD
EDIT: And forgot to mention, I absolutely love the Trophy Case feature. Recommend people checking it out, basically it's a list of your favourite achievements or achievements your most proud of. You can look at others trophie cases too. I reckon MS should create that feature on LIVE.

May as well. I never play my 360 though (haven't played it a lot since I owned a 360 for the first time, 2008 I think?) so my gamerscore hasn't increased much since then, but whatever. Mah gamertag is Sambo110
