                      On 02:15 PM 9/16/1999 +0000, I personally witnessed Dundee jumping up to say:
                      >
                      >If your ratio drops relative to the average, then essentially that means
                      >GooGoo's been practicing more than you have (based on the mud average as he
                      >is). He's gotten better, and you haven't. Same thing happened you vs. one
                      >of those other players: Not just (or even at all) because you've gotten
                      >worse, but because they've gotten better.
                      
                      Isn't this basically grading on a curve? And wouldn't it unfairly favor the
                      original playerbase over the newer players?
                      
                      >Doesn't the model of static mobs and dynamic PCs sort of run contrary to
                      >that idea though? I mean, the player get better or worse at skills, but
                      >the mobs are always the same.... when they are really all supposed to be
                      >creatures of the world, after all.
                      
                      PCs are special. They will always be special. They are not treated like
                      mobs, because they are not mobs. PCs are special *because* they are PCs.
                      Because players do not want to play average Joe Blow members of the
                      society. They want to play SPECIAL members of society. If I wanted to be
                      Joe Blow, I could do that IRL.
