Re: [arcade] some changes and fixes !

And one major change is implemented now. This might hurt a few but will make many happy.

Reduce scores by 15% to keep arcade competitive!!

All the ranks are kept in tact though but the high scores are achievable again.

The reason being this:

  1. If we reset high scores. That means people get scores that can't be beaten and others just give up trying.
  2. If we prune high scores every so often. This means people who worked hard to get them just lose them without any record.
  3. If we prune just the top x scorers. Means other people have a chance of getting on top, but not fair on those who worked for the highest spots to just have them removed without record.

  4. Compromise: Keep the scores but reduce them, thus keeping them there and the rankings (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) stay in tact.

The fourth option means: (reduce scores)
a) they can be more easily beaten by others, and
b) people have to keep going back to "top up" their own reduced high scores.
Both of which increase arcade activity.
