Response to Yet another new leaderboard(YANL) Comments

from Pat (laffaye@ibm.net)
The more I think about the 100+100 idea the more I believe it would work better. This means 100 pts are available for 1st on the original as before, but then there's an additional 100 possible pts that is split across all the clones. (Basically Chad's idea except that the original is counted separately from the clones) It's pretty simple!

For those that didn't see my other append... I suppose I'm a traditionalist, and believe that an original game is considered an original for a variety of reasons notably for the purpose of tracking records and historical significance. Perhaps it's a programmer's original work and wants players to remember it as such. That said, emphasis should be given to the original. You do that by ignoring all the clones (not realistic) or minimzing the importance (scoring and otherwise) of the clones. The extra 100 pts. distributed amongst the clones would let those that have invested time and effort into playing clones, be rewarded for their efforts. At the same time it would be quite clear that the original is the prefered version for leaderboard points.
