There will never be a perfect game, and I would like to applaud the game designers (maybe if I suck up to them, dave will give out easier hints
)
But seriously, I doubt that there will ever be a game that appeals to everyone, and in fact, it will never happen. Many of my team mates disliked '05 compared to '06, but I found that I was the other way around. Its just their opinion and my opinion... and GP demands that we respect it.
I would recommend that we post carefully here, so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.
Pertaining to bonus points, I enjoy them. I especially like when they don't have anything to do with the "meat" of the challenge, so a wider variety of robots can be found. The strategy that my team has taken to heart has been, pick one thing, one game element, and do it better than anyone else. When the bonus is entirely separate from the main game, it makes it even funner, especially the discussions held with teammates. What
can we do better than everyone else?
To Game Format Preference, I would like to see the "meat" of the game easier? than the bonus, so that more teams can participate effectively. However, the bonus should be lucrative enough to attract teams.
