joshi tm: Ketchup?

Well, I just wanted to share this. I actually won a game even though I started out shooting a frog on the first move. I even had one incorrect Guess in the game.

Yes, the odds are against having a chance with that awful penalty.. but it certainly happens.

Rose: I think that's a good compromise. There's still a penalty on the first move, but it's not as devastating. I think it should stay as it currently is for the rest of the game, though.

I was going to add to my previous post, but a customer came in and I had to go.

What I was going to add, is that yes, it seems a bit steep when it happens on the first move. If it happens throughout the rest of the game, it should be a steep penalty, because after the first move, it is COMPLETELY avoidable.

Maybe the possibility of it being less of a penalty when it happens on the first move?

Rose: I think the penalty is a bit steep. However, I love the game and it doesn't stop me from wanting to play it, at all. Just my 2 cents!

coan.net: Personally, I don't hit a frog on my first shot very often. (Rarely, in fact). So, I wouldn't think it was worth it to start off 3 points behind. I suppose if there were more frogs on the board, it might be more worth it, but with the current configuration, I don't think it would help often enough to bother.

coan.net: I personally have never seen a "4". The highest # I have seen is a "3"

I agree that the random set up is much better.
