Congratulations to all the medal winners - some nice games there!
I think I should get a medal for the highest-scoring retired game
Nah only kidding.
More seriously, I'm curious about one thing. Compare my score (at no. 174) with Matthew (175, just below me). We ended up with nearly identical game scores - 5153 vs 5126. Mine was retire, his was loss, which I thought were scored the same way. But his score was achieved - must be 30 to 40 turns before mine. So, if I've understood correctly that the final score is adjusted to compensate for the fact that you tend to get a higher game score as the game turns progress - shouldn't Matthew have a way bigger final score than me? (He actually was awarded slightly lower, 7175 vs 7213).
Obviously I've misunderstood something about the scoring?
(Not trying to cause trouble, just trying to understand better).
