I think you're overlooking something. I've got well over 500 points of
entropy by your interpretation (which I agree with). Every time entropy is
cleared by the entropy rule, I'm reevaluated, and shoot back up to 500. So
the 'end of the world' stuff happens repeatedly, and part of that is 'give
each player 10 points. As I've got about 200 points btwn the D.S.S. Hysteria
and the Score ship, being reevaluated every time my score is checked, I
shoot past 1000 first, and the Clock goes off.

Unless I've overlooked something too...
