How about a compromise?  In the game configuration menu give the user
the option, maybe a check box, where the user can choose to use either
the shared, or the local, location for the score card.  That way the
score card can be used by multiple players, or by just one, as they
wish.  Open source is supposed to be all about choice, no?
