[QUOTE="PET3R, post: 222409, member: 5266"] I don't think the lamp scoring in TOTAN makes it someone's point of interest. What I know for sure it stops people from playing that table. Do you really ??? think MB would be more interesting if there was a shot which would decide whether your final score is going to be 1/3 of what you could otherwise have ? I really don't think so. Personally I dream about the day when people who have power would look at this forum and decided to change the code so that these weaknesses would be ironed out. I would not just play 2-3 tables on regular basis but I would play10-15 amazing tables which I could not get enough of. And yes I would finally play TOTAN because I really like that table, but there is no point now if I can't play for score. Hitting the lamp all the time is not in my interest - sorry. Victory laps come after the wizard. I said in my post that after the wizard mode the score starts to finally differentiate a bit. I don't think you perfectly understood me there. The point is, if I play TAF my score can be anything between 50m (if I time out the modes) to 200+ million if I play well, before I enter Tour the Mansion. In AFM on entering wizard my score is very likely to be around 15 billion. I had a games in TAF where without wizard mode or very poorly played wizard mode I ended up with 300-400 million. If you can't reach wizard in AFM you are very likely not to move much from that 15 billion. You are not going to change the strategy and forget that wizard as the successful wizard will award you 10 billion !!! I do not really want to do this comparison, but in a way this is feels a bit like getting 1 billion in Bride of pinbot. If you can pull it off, your score will jump from 15 billion to 25 billion and yes you can play victory laps on top of that so getting pass wizard mode can really double your score. AFM is more about - how far can I get, rather than what highscore can I pull off. I know I can't beat my high score if I do not enter wizard mode. In TAF I am playing towards my high score from the very first modes as you can't beat your score only by getting 50 Million from Tour the Mansion, but you need to play well the whole game therefore there is much bigger variety in final score depending on how well you played.
