Response to Voting a rule for "lame Scores" submissions.

from Chris Parsley (cparsley1@hotmail.com)
Cicca, I never said I wanted MARP bombarded with, as you put them "lame" scores. But, there are WAY too many problems with trying to deal with what you see as an issue. I guess I will have to go through them one at a time. A) Who is to define what is lame? Simply put, if you can score only 20,000 in bagman, and BBH can score 230,000 in his sleep, does that make your 20,000 score lame? That score would only get less than 10 points for the uploader, but it doesn't mean it's lame. B) Who's to police what is a lame score? As it is right now, there isn't enough manpower to keep up the ban list, the confirm list, or anything else at MARP, and you want to add another to the list. C) What you want to do is against MARP philosophies... MARP is the Mame Action Replay Page, and that is what it should be and remain forever. Does that mean we only allow the action of the top few players in a game, or everyone like MARP was started for, and should be? For instance, next to nobody would be able to post in Galaga under the rule you are trying to get voted in. Steve Krogman monopolizes that game, with good reason, he is DAMN GOOD at it, but that means most normal of the road players wouldn't have a chance in hell of posting under the proposed rule of yours, Cicca.

MARP has been, and I hope will be forever, a place for all to come, not just the best of the games. We always try to encourage new players to join us, but with the rule you want to impose drives anyone new away. If you see a 15M score on Galaga, and know, unless you can get credit for 10 pts on that game, you will never be able to submit, why even try??? Is that what we want, a MARP that shrivels up and dies?? BTW - for 10pts at galaga, someone would need to do a game of over 3M (Considering first at 15M)
