On a more serious note, it's become quite impossible for me to beat any of my high scores on my cell phone Yahtzee game. It saves my top 5 scores. My average Yahtzee score is about ...mmm ... 240 or so. But then, every once in a while, I hit two or three yahtzees in one game and I get 350+ points. So my high scores only show my freakishly lucky times. The problem is, getting my name on that high score chart is kind of like my "pat on the head," so now I play and play and play and never get that pat. It's like a coke addict never being able to reach the same high. Part of me wants to erase my high score chart and start afresh. But isn't that settling for mediocrity?

i struggle in a similar way with my highest solitaire scores--not sure i'll ever beat the freakish pinnacle i've set for myself. --but i want my cookie, damnit. why play without reward? we're like lab rats in this respect. without consistent reward, we are much more motivated to continue for the chance that there *might be* reward, whereas, yanno, the other little rats who get cheese everytime they press the button could care less when the cheese actually pops out.
i'm a friend of Shasta's, btw. (nice to meetcha)
