In Response To: Opinion poll: Overview and conclusion (Nack Ballard)

I employed coconut some time ago. I admit I had troubles remembering if the result I got is ahead or behind in the first 2-3 live sessions (I rarely play live). Glad to hear about your update. I think for bots users it will be more clear.

On a side note I just wanted to comment on some of answers here. We can all agree, that to communicate the result, "A", "B", "ahead", "behind", "up" or "down" seems the clearest way to go. But the thing is that when you count something you will end up with a "+" or "-" result first, which you have to mentally convert to the "ahead" or "behind" stuff. So saying "don't use + or -, just go with ahead or behind" doesn't do much for question about counting systems.
