Scoring Discussion

Looping

There seem to be two things in this game that get referred to as loops. The first is the indicator at the bottom, and the second is surrounding a piece to create a gaff. This second loop is not named anywhere and I think it should be. --Moonfish1985 10:16, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Since it's currently believed that "looping" extra pieces adds a bonus to your score - I added a note about it to the scoring section. It should also add extra loops to your rope coil. --Sagacious ^(talk) 12:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Special Piece Generation

Related to Looping, Above, but it seems generating special pieces (Tar, Gaff, Splice) is a big point boost, from personal experience. Is completing the 20 loop worth anything? --Hikthur 00:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I think there is a small bonus for earning these pieces, but it should not be confused with the fact a large pull yields a big point score in itself - regardless of if it triggered a special piece to be made. Scoring discussion can be found here --Sagacious ^(talk) 01:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Splicing

Seems that hitting multiple pullies when you splice also causes bonus points, thoughts? --Hikthur 00:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Since you can only have 1 splice piece on the board at any one time, I would guess the bonus for getting 1 splice piece is multiplied by the number of pulleys affected. You should get an extra wild piece for the other pulleys too. --Sagacious ^(talk) 01:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
