Paperboy is actually one of the games that was discussed in the great TG debate earlier this year. Basically, what was decided was that it was up to the top players on a game whether they wanted to change settings to more difficult or TG for their game of expertise, as several players protested about any possible de-marthonization at MARP. If players want paperboy to be split into three courses instead of grand slam style, then that's up to them. As for multiple credits, it's only because multiple games are being played--something that (agreed, Tommi) doesn't really fit in at MARP.(posted 9188 days ago)In short, I'd be more than happy to make this change, but I'm sick of being flamed for stepping on people's toes. As for pc_10, I would like to thank all MARPers for being patient while the dips are identified for the system. As I stated earlier, if the dips do not resolve the problem then we will proceed to vote.
As for tpgolf, there's some debate as to where this falls in the splitting debate (issue was first raised with NeoTurfMasters). Whereas Pole Position 2, Cameltry, and Pipe Dream all seem fairly intuitive as to splitting, I'm not sure that the golf games fit the mold. I'm not sure that the split is warranted, but I won't say that it isn't either. However, there is some debate already as to whether split games with no scoreboard for the split level should be removed (this would count ones like magdrop3-cme and cameltry-be, among others) and golf games might be considered to fall under the same category.
Feel free to comment, and please try to be objective.
