Lightbulb Petition to change rules!!

Update: read my post at the bottom for more info, im out!


Now, I doubt that negative scores will happen, but this scoring system is getting rediculously complex. Can't it be simpler and easyer to understand?

My sugestion - very easy


The number of boxes in the stack* with the most boxes in it is multiplied by the TOTAL number of boxes in the scoring zone. PERIOD, NO MATER WHAT!


*Definition of stack

dictionary.com "An orderly pile, especially one arranged in layers."

Legalese
"A group of boxes supported by 1 and only 1 box, or any non-box item. Each box can only directly support 1other box.

Any stack not fitting this description is not elegible for the high stack.THATS IT; The boxes in it are just regular boxes!!!



High points (pun intended) in this plan


  • VERY SIMPLE!!!
  • NO [insert colorful ajective(s)] SHU'S!!!
  • a box is a box is a box
  • tallest stack possable = good!!
  • why shouldnt I get points if my bot is holding a stack?
  • Why should I raise my oponents score if my bot cant steal a stack in time?
  • it doesnt take a palm pilot to figure out!!!

ps. this exact same message will be posted in all negative point threads, and in its own poll thread in the rules forum. any updates/replies should be posted in poll thread, so please make sticky. goto the poll thread and lets make it a petitition!!!!

pps. sorry bout the speling, gammer, too many !'s and bouts of RAGE; its 3:45AM!!

edit: minor cleanup

edit: spelling

edit: added SHU comment

edit: I made an error in my calculation that made everything before my idea void. So, i deleted it and replaced it. Also, toned down some rhetoric, and removed referances to neagative points.
i spent 10 minutes checking those things, think how hard it will be to do it on the fly durring the game!

edit: minor rewording, but nothing changed

edit: capitilization, spelling, punctuaion
