AD_D keeps an average of all the games you have ever played as your "score" in the score file. I can see the advantages, but there are a LOT of ways to get yourself killed off, so after about 40 games the average has so much weight that even a good game will not affect it very much. Might there be a better way to keep score. Average of your top five games maybe? Just the best game (as in rogue)? Something else? The top score on our machine could be beaten by not buying anything to start with and getting killed on level zero. One game, average depth: 0, average worth: ~3400 gp. Somehow we should do something for those poor fools who get their brains bashed out, but stick with it anyway. Suggestions? Ralph Keyser inuxc!ralph
