Phil, thanks for taking the matter up once again! I'm sorry that no one seems to realize how important this issue is as well as its relevance for all those games that do not have a life-bonus at the end... This would entail a thorough revision of the scoring systems of loads and loads of games, so this is perhaps the reason why this issue has been passed over in silence by those in charge... On Mark Longridge's page I once read something like "videogames are finally an exact science"... I think that too many games are currently as far from being an "exact science" as you can get...(posted 8766 days ago)Back to your proposals now: I still think the 2 rules I put forward in that past message are the best solution, BUT for the time being I also vote for (b), as it's better than nothing and we might refine it in the future if problems should arise.
...BUT PLEASE, PEOPLE, DO VOTE!!!!
Michele
