Phil, the fact is that leeching on the other levels is not a Ghouls- specific problem: there are tons of games you can finish on 1 life with a score that can easily be surpassed by appositedly sacrificing a number of lives on certain fruitful areas. So if we apply the 100k (or 1M)-per-remaining-lives bonus to solve this problem in Ghouls, then we would have to extend the rule to all other games with the same problem, which is not an easy task. Also, this kind of bonus alters and blurs actual scores, which is not a good thing. On the other hand, the kind of leeching you refer to does require skill, for it’s not at all easy to finish the game on your last life. So to me this leeching is tolerable.(posted 8377 days ago)I of course agree with you that the best inps are those where player completes the game (any game!) on 1 life, but unfortunately the scoring systems are often unsuitable for this matter.
