Shadowrun MUSH had something similar, under the name of "karma". Your
character started with a certain (small) amount of karma decided by the
admin based on your character history. Other players could give you their
karma points if they liked, or admin would assign it at proper points in
the story, depending on your character's actions. These could be (I
believe, it's been a while) traded in same as the luck points above. They
also usually fell in the 1-10 range, so it reminded me of that.
