It's not competition anymore. Though your description *is* a great idea. But sometimes people like to be in competition, and have some concerns about the competition remaining fair. > In fact, I think it would be nice if the high score entries would also > provide a log of the game (so one can watch how the others played, or > cheated) If your read my score daemon proposal, you'll see this is exactly that. It could refuse a record entry if it is not given the game description, and the description is valid and matches the score. But that is only possible when cheating cannot be hidden. When score depends on time, cheating is the easiest thing in the world. Just pretend you played faster than Flash. For games like Same, Klickety or Shisen Sho, this is possible. Not for tetris.
