First time player times

IMHO it would be a cool addition to have a list of the very first times each player played that specific game. In other words, if I play more than 1 time, then of course my time will decrease, and doesn't show real 'knowledge'. Of course by repeating one will know more, but it would be good to have an idea about one's place after one game by all.

What are your opinions?

Probably wouldn't work. If people want to avoid low initial scores, they can just play w/o logging in until they get good. Then, they can log in and play. A lot of trouble, but I'm sure some people would do that. It's possible that some already do that, either by design or incidentally (e.g., when I play on someone else's computer, I don't usually log in, I just play as anonymous.)

Also, the person who makes any kind of complex game will then always have a great initial score. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

But along the lines of what you're saying, it would be nice if you could retain you own history on a per-game basis. That way you could track your improvement over time. But I suppose that might be too cumbersome for David to actually implement.

I have to agree. Anyway, if it is possible, it would be a nice thing to have (both of them).
