[QUOTE="Xanija, post: 219575, member: 2707"] I think the idea is not that bad, as long as it doesn't stop you from playing the table as much as you like. I thought about something similar, inspired by Trackmania (a special kind of racing game). You can play it as often as you like, but it's always "Training mode". Every 10 minutes you can do a race which actually counts towards your "Official time" If you mess this race up, you will have to wait for another 10 minutes, in which you can do as many Training games as you like. It wouldn't be bad to have something similar in TPA, when you need to decide, whether your next game is an "Official score" game or a training game. With reducing the number of possible "Official score" games per day, it would give a leaderboard a different meaning. It wouldn't be something like grinding a table for the best score (which has some right to exist as well), but a separate list of "Official scores" would be something like a permanent tournament. I know this is a bit different to the OP's idea, but in the end the idea is similar: Giving some games a special value, where you can't just restart until you get a decent score. You're limited in the attempts in a certain period of time. [/QUOTE]
