Everyone tries to make the game less luck-dependent. Why? I like the luck factor and the way it keeps possible strategies to a few. The more strategy is involved, the more you have to think. Don't know if I was playing that much if I had to think more. Plus: I'd probably be outplayed by the lots of you if it weren't so much about not making mistakes and letting lady Luck fight the rest of it out with the random() goddess.

Asterix, because the scoring system doesn't match to a pretty luck based game. Thats where the people feel the disonance and try to change.

If you see it that way, no scoring system ever would. If there's just a little (and I like it being a little) skill needed, the rating system is good for it. Read "rating system", I say why I think so there.

If you like luck so much frequent casinos.

Actually, I do ;). To prevent you getting a half sided image of me, I have to mention I play chess, too. I like the game as it is, and for most proposals there are other games that suit those ideas better and are more suit to do so.

Well in either case it cant hurt to try something, perhaps ryan will try it anyway and we can judge it then?
