Quck fix: Eve lives will no longer count toward score

There's an exploit where you can play the tutorial over and over and live to 60 each time.

To fix this without restarting the game servers, I've changed the fitnessServer code to NOT update your score when you are Eve.

This makes some sense, because you have no ancestors.  Your life doesn't count for anyone else's score (because you're not an offspring), so it shouldn't count for yourself either.

The reason your life counts for yourself at all is to reduce the temptation of suicide.  But obviously, we don't care if Eves suicide.

The top player on the leaderboard actually used this exploit to push their score up to 56.  I'm now looking into rolling back the effect of all Eve lives, and recalculating all scores to correct this.

Awesome attention to detail.

I don’t understand why anyone would want to use an exploit. I like knowing exactly how well I am at continuing my bloodline.. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t logged into my low server town that I’ve been working on..  I wasn’t sure if that would alter my score somehow, resulting in me not getting a genuine score..

Cheaters will be cheaters, I suppose.

Okay, I wasn't able to fix everyone's score historically.

However, I did adjust the score of the person who was caught exploiting the tutorial to stick themselves at the top of the leaderboard.

All the other leaders seem legit.
