This is probably my last New Topic of the day. Sight seen on the message screen:
Tech: CEO Morgan (that's me )
Mil: CEO Morgan
Pop: CEO Morgan
Wealth: CEO Morgan
Terr: CEO Morgan
Overall: Provost Zakharov ????? (what?)

It's gotta be a bug.

Just beat the crap out of Zakharov 'till he's not on the list.

Either that or throw the game until Zak's on the top of everything (including Deidre no doubt)

It's simple, really
The item by item list shows current leader, the overall shows historic leader.
So you may be, at this turn:
researching tech faster
stronger militarily
have more pop
have more energy reserves
control most territory,
but you may not be ahead on those items that contribute to AC score (reproduced below from Concepts.txt:
#ADVCONCEPT4
Your Alpha Centauri Score is computed as follows:
1) 1 point for each citizen of each base.
2) If you have won a Diplomatic or Economic victory, score:
a) 1 point for each citizen of a Pact Brother's base.
b) 1/2 point for each citizen of any other faction's base.
3) 1 point for each citizen of a surrendered base.
4) 1 point for each unit of commerce your bases are receiving.
5) 1 point for each technology discovered.
6) 10 points for each Transcendent Thought advance.
7) 25 points for each Secret Project
8) A Victory bonus if you have won the game.
Obviously during the game, until victory bonuses kick in, the most important are population and Secret Projects.
So you could be far ahead of the others in the ranking charts, yet be behind in the overall game scors

Putting a spin on it

UoP must have had some major Commerce going because I had about 6 SPs to his 1. I wish I checked the scoring when I noticed it. At any rate, UoP was wasted by the Hive and I eventually Transcended.
