[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 25441, member: 358"] Hall of fame scores, ie wizard scores that are cumulative across tables, are incentives to buy and play all tables and make sense from that angle. The easiest way to do it is to take, say, the millions of your score and add those up ( so if you get 243.456.786 hiscore, you receive 243 points). This works for Zen because most tables are within a certain score amount, so each table contributes aproximately the same. FS's tables have to differentiate between Gorgar (where 1 million is a pretty high score) and Tom (where 100 million is a pretty BAD score), so this system doesnt work and they have to translate the score to show that 1 million on Gorgar is GOOD and 100 million on TOM is BAD. IF you want a system that represents all tables, I don't see another option then the one they went for. However, by doing this you add in a variable that makes the process less transparant and open to discussion. Because to do this you need to set the 100% limit (worth a 1000 points in this case) at a level that represents each tables difficulty objectively, and also you kinda want noone to get the max HOF, but approach it. Most of these scores come close (considering the platform) of reaching this, but TOTAN (Way too hard)and Gorgar(way too easy) miss the mark. [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/1651-Hall-of-Fame-Scores[/url] With the system they went for, I believe they should've remove the upper limit of a 1000 points (if gamecenter allows such a system) and put that 1000 point mark at a level thats just [U]below[/U] the scores obtainable by the very best of players at the time of determining that level.
