This sounds interesting. I would agree that a "join in" player would have to
reset the whole game, since if it were a "join in" typical of JAMMA games,
people would not care whether they died because they'd just join in a few
seconds later.

There are times when playing multiple people that I...er, I mean...a person
will get ganged up on early by, oh, for example, lets use arbitrary names like
Rick S. and Ray G, and that person will have to wait too long to get his
revenge...I mean, play again, so he goes and get's a beer and by the time he
get's back everyone left because their scared so I...,er, that person can't
play again so he goes home crying and drinking and driving don't mix and he
doesn't see the cow in the middle of the road and get's all bitter over it and
whines to people on the vectorlist....

Where was I? Oh yeah, good idea Al! ;-)
