Just a few things to point out...

Imms have to roll up exactly the same as everyone else, under the same conditions and rules with the same chances. So if the imms 'get their rocks off' torturing you poor bunnies, we're also masochists, because it goes both ways. Obviously nobody's thought of a better way.

> Fifth, it was a joke. Sorry it struck a nerve but damn, take it easy. Look into Prozac or something.

If you're telling *Shokai* to get Prozac, I think you need to look into some Valium.

> Sixth, the last thing I want to do is piss off and learn to hate another imm.

This is *so* a personal problem. Feel free to 'learn to hate' anyone you want, but please put me first in line. I'd be honored.

If, on the other hand, you want to 'learn to be constructive', here's the things I think you'd have to address... purely from my own observations, these criteria have no basis with the real (high) imms.

1) Not everyone should have good stats automatically. The hours of rolling provide an imperfect way of encouraging diversity.
2) Not everyone should have the same, bland stats. Ie, straight 16s with 5 trains at startup.
3) A more creative alternative can't be too easily manipulated. Ie, the ultima-style rolling wherein you answer riddles/questions

My personal favorite suggestion is to have rolling only show the words that describe stats.. ie, genius, idiotic, ugly, god-like, etc. Possibly with wider ranges than the current.
