I think that "deleted" scores are being counted somehow for a player's medal points as well as his average score. I deleted all of my non-1st place scores (leaving me with 20 1st place scores) yet on the leaderboard I'm listed as having 210 medal points, 21 1st place scores, 2000 total points, and a 95.7 average.
<p>

It seems to me that "deleted" scores should have no effect at all on a player's points.

What I could do is subtract 1 from all the players game total amounts
in the average and it would correct most of them. It would give a
better average than some though. This would probably be an incorrect
programming practice. However - I'll do it if everyone wants me to
do at least that much...

I hate escaper.
<p>

at least, it is not act of want to called " THE KING OF ARCADE".

<p>

IS To keep high average (WORTHLESS) SO VALUABLE?

<p>

player should proud of their own recordings (include poor one). If can not ,should not send.

<p>

delete should be banned. if want to delete the recordings, delete inp and remain the result as 0 points.

<p>

not to keep nonsence high averages.

<p>

I agree with you partially on this one, Hisa. I gave it a lot of
thought for myself when I was going through my old recordings. But I
decided that my own scores were relatively meaningless compared to
the top scores on MARP in some games. I can get a few million in
Galaga, but who cares? Steve Krogman has much better scores on the
game and if someone needed to learn something about the game, they'd
do better watching him than my own recording. So I threw it out.

<p>

I'm proud of my accomplishments in that particular game, make no
mistake. It's no world record, but I know that I can play the game
with some measure of skill and I can duplicate the score if I had to.
I just know when to bow to the masters.

<p>

All that might sound worthless from someone who groomed his own
recordings to keep a relatively high average, but I use MARP to show
off on the games I can play well and not as a repository for
~everything~ I've ever done. My hard drive works well enough for
that. Take it easy on some of us, Hisa. We can't all put our lives
into this sort of thing. And remember, all clear no miss. 100% does
not hurt your average. Very simple solution.

<p>

Hisa, this is separate from KoA. I'm just someone who likes having a
high average above all else. I said that earlier and then I realized
that if I really am that way, I should keep none of my recordings
except for my 1st place recordings.

<p>

When I used to play Rail Arena for Quake II, I didn't care if I had
the highest score. All I cared about was having the highest hit %.
That's how I once managed to get 17 hits in a row in that mod.

<p>

We all play for different reasons. I mean, I could submit crappy
recordings of a thousand games, each worth only a few points, and up
my leaderboard total substantially.

<p>

But I don't want to.

<p>

I'd rather have my high average, even if it means sacrificing some
leaderboard points.

It seems to me that everyone who has ever 'deleted' one of their
recordings (or had one deleted) has a permanent entry of zero for the
game 'deleted'. If you delete another recording (ie. rename
to 'delete') then your recording for 'deleted' just gets
overwritten. Unfortunately everybody who has a 'deleted' game has
this zero score counted against their average.

<p>

Is it possible Gameboy to do a purge on all the 'deleted' recordings
every now and again and actually delete all the 'deleted' recordings
so that everybody's average is calculated properly?
