Wasn't aware of that. Shame. The book worth finding?

Yeah, there are a number of games like this; for instance snow-boarding
games whereby part of the point is performing stunts as you race. I
*really* like this. Running about blowing stuff up is fun. Knowing you
have 10 points per kill, so you have 100 points.. is a bit dull. Being
awarded 'bonus points' for mass destruction, stylish surgical hits, and so
forth.. could be very entertaining. Taking risks to pull off fancy setups,
and so on..

*agreement*
Which leaves me at having a 'name' for the login, but which does not
necessarily connect to characters. I think I'll move 'persistant
communication' (bulletin boards etc) to a pre-character login state
(account), after which you can choose a name to play under. Hmm.
