I am grateful for the work that's been done, and everyone's part in helping accomplish the final results. I must, of course, withhold my final thoughts until I see them in action.

But the current discombobulation (not a real word!) is in basing your current stategies in your games on being in the lead or behind, and then POOF!, you're losing the game!! The playing area may be littered with sinking enemy ships, but you have zero points.

This beats anything the old Twilight Zone on television could have ever dreamed up!


I agree that can be very annoying since most of us want to know how much are we leading in scores. If it shows 0 score the whole time, then how can we determine without manual calculation who is leading in the game?

Can we have the scores displayed without waiting for the end of the game?

Personally, I do not see the value in this. As at least for me, I usually have a good sense if I am winning or not; and if such a "temporary" scoring system is in place, you will have complaints from folks not so clued into the system that go on and on about how, "I was way ahead, and then suddenly my points are gone and I am declared the loser," etc.
