True, this might be the death of the idea.  However, the basic part
still has some appeal for me.  If there was no easy was to tell who the
new players were there would be less of a problem with killing the walking
banks.  How about removing the link between the numbers 8xx and newbies.
Just assign new players numbers as if they were created units.  Probably
a programing problem since this would involve keeping a list of which
units were PC's as opposed to the present method of all 5xx and 8xx units
are PC's.
