Response to Final Fix on Scoring, I hope.

I find it interesting that on the one hand people want to acknowledge first place with a bonus on games. But if you can "blow a game out" you wont get maximum profit from this game because 2nd and 3rd score no matter how far below your score it is will still get minimum points.

I still firmly believe your score is your score and the only true comparison of how well you do in relation to someone else is what percentage of their score you obtain. I also don't believe that once we have more competition and points are harder to come by that people won't try for that extra couple of points on a game just to improve their leaderboard standing. Of course I'm thinking way out in the future here when Mame stops adding new games at such a phenomenal rate. ;-)
