I think you misunderstood, this sounds like a greate idea. What Holly
said was that the boots would lose there "fit" slowly... Or rather
Ackbar
having worn the boots for an hour (mud day?) would increase the "fit" to
-29, but the owner is still Bubba. Remember the new owner takes effect
at 0. I think this system coupled with a equipment aging system would be
pretty nifty. How do you guys generally deal with ages of equipment?
Should a pair of boots that have undergone many such changes of fit
break sooner than another pair that didnt? I think they should, maybe
depending on the material in question...
Did I over quote?...
