Walter Montego: Although I agree with your assesment and strategy in these games, I do think that the intent is to play a game where everyone starts with 1000 points, for example, it just never seems to work this way, although I would like to see people play the way the game should be not the way they can. But like you said, one day we will either be able to start a game with 1000 points or someone will get burned hoping for an "idiot" play.
