Response to Proposal to move Joust to TG-only, skill settings

QT, I agree since it's possible to play Joust forever with default settings if you're god enough(there must be dozens of people that can do it). Anyway it would be good to have one romset/romsets kept for marathoning purposes, if someone wants to do that. Should marathon scores be played on TG-version(no pause) is another issue, in my opinion yes.

Default for Joust is 1 man every 20K. Marathon settings could be man/30K (Yes, it's still possible to marathon on those settings). Why not have one romset to be devoted for man/every 50K(To my knowledge marathoning on those settings is not "possible")? Joust W/G would be of course played with TG-settings. I think this would make competition on Joust more interesting :) How do you feel about this Mark/JoustGod...?

My proposition 1 is:

Joust W/G - TG-tournament settings(only 5 men) Clone1 - marathon(man every 20 000/30 000) Clone2 - man/50K

proposition 2:

Even one of Track&Field clones could be devoted to marathoning(but NO freemen), if anyone wants to do it...

proposition 3:

I even would like one of Hypersports clones to be devoted for one- round-only, this is the way I used to play it(scored about 190K).

proposition 4:

One more proposition: Divide Paperboy to three games: easy street,middle road,hard way. Game lasts too long if you have to play all three "districts" on one game. There could also be a fake romset that adds these three scores to one overall score. That is the way that old TG-records for PP are made anyway. And furthermore, USE TG-SETTINGS for Paperboy, current settings are ridiculously easy.

What do you think?????????
