Hello,

I still liked to have some opinions from players about a possible change
with the score display in Freeciv.

Maybe I should be more verbose.

Currently, you can see the score in a running game, when you type /score
in the chatline.

Some people are annoyed about this, because they have to type in a command.

Others don't even know about it.

Others get annoyed, because the popup with the score, which is presented to
*all* players, can disturb you.

Others are annoyed because the score points reveal valuable information
about the progress of players you haven't even met.

So what do people think? Do you want a score during the game? What kind of
score?
