He wants people to be rewarded AP their game accomplishments. Under the current system game achievements aren't tied to the site or the AP system at all. Whether or not that is due to change with AG3, we shall see.
Come up with some more details on how you would like this implemented please.. One line won't do you justice.

Oh OK.
Well, that could be a good idea. Playing games and getting achievements and getting AP. That'll be cool.
The problem is that game highscores can be hacked and people would just do that to get points. Even so, please, give us more details about this idea, because a solution to the hacked highscores might be found and this idea could work.
This is what cormyn said about the hacked highscores and ways to detect them:
We try our best to remove bogus/hacked scores. Sadly there are people out there with way too much free time on their hands and they try to manipulate their Flash or use cheat programs to send fake scores instead of just enjoying the games we work hard to make available to all of you. In some cases, however, it can be quite overwhelming to sort through every high score system in every game on every difficulty level just to look for bad scores. I've been working on some ways to detect them via software to speed things up, and only alert our team when it finds scores that need to be removed. No ETA on getting that rolling, so we're stuck with doing it manually right now. There have been occasions as well where a player truly plays REALLY hard at a game and comes up with what we feel is a ridiculously high score and delete it because we think it's bogus, so we need to be extremely careful. In some cases, we rely on the game developers themselves to tell us what *should* be possible, even for the hard-core gamers, but that's not always practical either.
Yeah, I doubt we'd add AP for submitting high scores, for the reasons already mentioned. Plus, if you were #1 today, but #50 tomorrow, should those AP points still count? You can see how it'd be a nightmare on our system to try to juggle all of that.
