Shall we reset the arcade scores?
 
It seems to me as though in our recent spirit of promoting forum activity, it would be productive to reset the arcade scores, since a new one has not been achieved in quite a while. But I thought we'd put this to a vote to see what everyone thinks.

No, Typhoid has expressed interest in adding way more games, though. I think we can facilitate that.

Resetting the scores is a bad idea. What does it accomplish other than disheartening those who maybe had a really fluke-y game of something and got a good score?

However to bring more life to the arcade, I'd say get rid of the kitchy games (like the Resident Evil one) and add more classic-ish games.

Or maybe reset certain scores. From members who don't stick around so much anymore.
I don't know if resetting scores is a mass thing, or if you can pick and choose, though.

Yeah, I think we can reset certain scores. But if we did a few then we might as well do them all (which I'm not a proponent of, personally.)

What I was saying in so many words is get rid of Cubeman's scores.
I've never seen him post.

I'm not saying clear them all. I voted against it.

Amazingly, he has never posted, but he has played Snake over 1000 times.

Doesn't it keep the best score of all time? What's the difference between best score of all time and actual highscore champion?

Well if you guys reset the scores then you know I will just do what I did last time and get all of them in my name

I'd like to reset the Spider-Man jumping game since the guy who took my record never posts either.

We could still keep the current high scores in a thread or something.

I worked DAMN hard on that Snake score...I don't want to have to put myself through that again.

Re: Shall we reset the arcade scores?
 
Well, this seems to be a divisive issue, so the high scores will remain intact.

I totally forgot about the arcade.

Re: Shall we reset the arcade scores?
 
Personally I dont think they should be reset. I voted no. Thats like resetting all the baseball records or somethig. It just aint right.

Yeah, isn't the point so that you reset the high scores every week or so, in order to keep people playing for that high score of the week. But you always have the highest score ever recorded. That way you get the best of both worlds kinda sorta.
