Let's just not let newbies into the game, and be done with it. With your
*wonderful* new rule system all newbies would be killed the first day
they entered the game most of the time. Killing people you have a reason
to kill is fine, but bashing on people who haven't had the time to build
up a defense is a waste of time for the newbies.

Question: How long would you play if you got killed the first update you
logged on? Especially considering that updates are only once per week.

Question: You see 10 big thugs coming up the street, and they have a habit
of killing people. You are standing beside your horse. You have a big purse
with lots of money in it. What would you do? (Stand around and fight?)

It is possible to be *powerfull* without killing newbies. Try it.
