Phil, you're confusing me on (B), I think you are say if you finish a
level prematurely (breaking the horizon) you do not subtract the
cards left on the screen and in the deck. This decision (and not the
10000) is benefiting suiciders.

<p>

You say "if I suicide at 7 score will be 64500 ; if I play and finish
level 7 but lose and get -3000 by my subtraction method I will have
67000 ", i'm not talking about comparing scores with someone who
suicides level 7 and someone who finishes level seven. Obviously the
person who finishes level 7 will get a better score in (A) and (B)
methods. But in (B) if you do not finish level 7 your score will be
LESS than 64500 by the cards that put you below 0 in your score, thus
penalizing you for attempting to finish the level, this is unfair for
people who try to complete the game compared with those who suicide.

Voting Choice (C). There seems to be problems with both (A) and (B)
voting choices, since those who voted for either each added a clause
to change it. Here's is method (C) hopefully a good mix of voting
choices (A) and (B) and including comments from the voters.

<p>

* you get 10000 points for completeing a level.

<p>

* you get 1000 points for wining a level (that means you level X
score was better than the computers level X score.)

<p>

* your score at the last completed level is added to this total which
is always a positive score.

<p>


The only disadvantage of this scoring method is that your final level
score does not count, but at least this means that someone who plays
up to the same level as you and commits suicide does not get a better
score than you. Phil, can you think of a away around this?

ahh, i see, you can still finish the last level and get the 10000
bonus. thus but still get the negative score applied to your final
score. that works up untill you get to a very high level in which
you may lose your 10000 score with the large negative bonus. I do
think it is possible to get to a high level, all you have to do is
concentrate on winning ALL cards so you do not get a large
subtraction... I think I still like C for this reason.
