I guess that means we soon see the Minestorm game on your scopeclock! I think it will look even better based on circles rather than lines! As far as my understanding of the roman numeral IIII versus IV is that the clock dial looks more symmetric with the roman VIII on the opposite site (from far away VIII looks a bit like IIII).
