Procyon Games

I'd like to thank everyone for the comments posted to the "change the high scores" entry. Especially Richard, who pointed me to the Case's Ladder system. There's a lot that's good in there, and I'd like to emulate it, but not everything is applicable. They seem to do a lot of manual jiggering of their ladders, and I need everything to be as automated as possible.

I will be rolling out the new score system in phases. The first phase, just installed, is this: if you play someone more than 3 times in one day, you don't get any points for games after that. This is meant to encourage people to switch partners and meet other players of the game.

Also, I implemented the final optimization pass on my poor server, which was melting under the strain of all the games you people have been playing. If this doesn't relieve the strain, then I'll have to upgrade my server plan!
