i think you (BeeJay) will only record the game your best at but most people seem to want points. (i dunno why? there's no money involved... well i compete in the POTM so i guess i understand :) And they will make recordings in the weakest clone and eventually edge all the worthy recordings/clones out of the points getting.(posted 9677 days ago)So, do they deserve the points where people who make a legitamate shot at the hard clone (their one and only favorite one to upload) get nothing after being edged out?
Having a scoring table for each clone, gives people who only like one hard-clone a shot at getting points where they won't get anything by being edged out by the easy clone scores. Inciting competition and better scores? Yes, but only for the easy-clones, the hard clones get toasted.
The 100/100 clone system might work, but then you have a dispute for which clone is the original? I for one never played the "origonal" clone of spacefire bird, (at least i remember) seeing the Gremlin sign on my arcade. so is spacefb or spacefbg the original or clone? I guess i've said this too much already but there are too many questions if you start picking and choosing which clones to group where, you also have the added overhead of adding to the marp database this choosing method.
With the tabled clone method (i'm calling it now,) there is no pickyness or cliches involved, every clone gets it's day and competition with out having duplicate scores, yes you have to work a little harder to get scores, but i argue this adds more total quality to the system. less games to compete in (weaker clones) can only give you lesser quality recordings?
ok i think i've given my 233.20 cents enough, i'll stop.
