How will there wider competition this way? All i see is everyone uploading pacman-fast scores and not many people bothering to upload regular pacman scores, since eventually you won't get any score for uploading a harder version of clone. I dunno about anyone else, but i'd prefer to see the harder recordings get most of the upload time, like a galaga version that only lets you fire one shot per minute or a pacman at slower than normal speed (ghosts at regular speed) :) I think that's where the true ingenuity of game play can be seen.(posted 9678 days ago)If we let the weakest clones be the victors, we'll never see competingly better recordings of the harder clones. If there is a maximum point level to reach on each clone (which will not be 100!), then you still maintain all clones competitions. and Anyone who can whip someones butt at one clone will be able to do it in all of them, so why is everyone whining that they'll have to play a bunch of clones to get deserved points. I don't see those people whining who play every single clone right now. It increases quality of uploads, since if you play pacman 10 times, the best of those 10 recordings (which is in the opinion of each downloader) will be better for the greater good than if that person only uploaded a pacman-fast clone, who i certainly would rather see that person do a pacman-slow upload.
not that anyone is reading this long winded discussion, but i have submited donuts m35rc1 screenshots to zwaxy who hasn't put them up yet! just a nudge :)
