Not since the last reset. :-)

It's now added, which pretty much guarantees that nothing will happen with
it in quite a while.

I can't recall seeing an asskicking in quite a while (at least not one
that was recognized), actually. That may be another thing that needs to
officially go away.

For the most part, these are "cosmetic" things, which I add to the generic
"Notes" field when appropriate. Yeah, I probably could create a massive
complex system for tracking each of these, but there's NO POINT to doing so.

For the most part, unless something is listed, you can assume it's either
'zero' or 'whatever the default setting is'. Since that's the case, and I
choose to believe any reasonable person can recognize this with little
difficulty, I see no need to waste my time writing it, and everyone else's
time reading it.

Imagine what the roster would look like if all of these things were
listed. It'd be about twice as long as it is now (and it's arguably too
long already).
