Hmmm... that's a VERY good point Chris! We wouldn't have made all those takeovers if it weren't for ten points. I wouldn't have contested you when you took me over by 250 points that one time back when 34,000 was the high mark if a percentage scoring rule was in effect. I would score about 99, and you would score 100... no problem. Ditto for my `cloud 9` score. I probably wouldn't work on taking the high score over when I was beaten by... ironically... 250 points... I would take the 99 and the opponent would take 100. What would I work on? How about that 1,000 point score that was SEVERLY demolished by some 272,000 points in Galaxy Fighter?(I do not give names because I did not get permission to use them... don't wanna get in trouble... I'm a sensitive guy...:) )(posted 9686 days ago)But how about a comprimise? Why don't we show BOTH the regular scoring system AND the percentage scoring system(however you want do it... I don't care.) on the same leaderboard page? IN ADDITION - why don't we use 'paperboy rules' and use a 'grand slam' leaderboard - where we take percentages of both leaderboards, and the one with the most points that way is the true champion of the MAME action replay page?
The first idea in the previous paragraph I think would do quite well... the second one is just a suggestion...
Thanks for reading my thoughts on this perspective.
