[QUOTE="invitro, post: 144692, member: 446"] I am a little dubious of your claim that several** other players can play these tables for 12 hrs. Here is the reason: My FH #3 game took me 12 hrs, and my MM #8 game took me 9.5 hrs. And when I play I take very frequent breaks and go very slowly. So if more than five* other people have had a 12 hr FH game, or if more than seven other people have had a 12 hr MM game, they would've had to play even more slowly than me, which seems unlikely to me. Or are you claiming that several people -could- have a 12 hr game, but they quit at like 4 hr? I suppose, but why give those people credit... 12 hr isn't -that- much if it's spread out over several days. I personally don't believe that requiring someone to put in 12 hrs to get credit for a #1 score is torture; I mostly enjoy it. What do you think? * the #1 and #2 scores, and the three people (like you) that have scores ~999,999,990. ** I suppose I am assuming that "several" means quite a bit more than seven! What do you think about that? Can you be more precise on how many people you think have had 12 hr games on these machines? Also, I do not feel that the difference between my playing 12 hr and 6 hr on FH is just stamina. I think it represents a true increase of skill. I understand wanting to recognize the case when scores are so high that players' skill cannot accurately be compared. I just think that point for FH is higher than 1.2B. Or I may be super specific and think that the the #1 player on FH really did exhibit more skill in his game than I did in mine. But how can I tell... I don't know... Perhaps the easiest tables should be weighted less than the hardest ones. Well maybe. But I'd want either a consensus on what the easiest/hardest tables are, or some factual evidence. Hmm. (My flipper finger has had a bad medical problem lately, but I will return soon to try to get some more top tens :).) [/QUOTE]
