Different Points for Lenths On Games

Okay, somebody could make a crappy lenth 2 game and get 10 points while another person can make an incredible lenth 8 game but only get 10 points. I think the scoring system should be made different.

1 and 2 rating games only get 2 points for a publish.
3 gets 5 points for a publish
4 to 6 are average and should get 10 points squarely. So most games points won't change.
7 get 15 points per publish. These are hard to make.
8s! which are rare should get 20 full points for making a game.

Ya and edit that right now, so I dont have to go make another 8.  Good idea Havac.  And plaer rating.  If a game is rated 8, it should be given an extra 8 points, if it goes down one, then author loses one.  so someone coould make a length one game, with a player rating one and get 3 points.  Someone could make a length 8, with a player rating 8 and get 28.

Length is not a factor. I could see a really well written 10-15 page game. I've seen absolutely horrible 200+ page games (one is in the grave yard, and hoo-boy, is it a stinker).

quality than quantity here. I like Ocean Adventure, it is sooooo short but it isnt boring at all.

but sometimes people only focus on that ONE characteristic of it being long and make a crappy game. or they make a long game with little description.

Okay wll then use my Player rating thing.  And you should get a +10 for getting into top games and -10 for getting out of it again.
