Okay, before Adam snaps, buys a glock and shoots me through the interweb, let's take a couple of deep breaths...breathe in...breathe out...breathe in...breathe out.

Ah...good.

Here's the proposal:
1. Beginning in August and every 6 months or so after that, arcade scores will be pruned.
2. Only the top 3 scores will be deleted. If a game has less than 6 or 7 high scores total, no scores will be deleted.
3. An Arcade Hall of Fame thread will commemorate all of the (Adam's) highest scores for each game.
4. As a result of 1-3, there will at least be a chance for either (1) new arcade champions to emerge or (2) Adam to swat everyone down again and retain his crown.

Good thing I only have one game to worry about. Adam will be pissed.

Do all the games have to be done at once?

I've a question for you:

I've played a few of the games multiple times, and have earned scores that would have taken over the leader board if we were allowed to have more than one score on the board. Does pruning my top score from the game activate one of the other, lesser scores that would still be in lead?
No.

Nah, probably 10 or so per week.

Excellent question. Only your highest score is saved. Once that is deleted, you lose your leaderboard points for that game.
