Well, then, we've got to count up the Entropy. Realize that lots of
people had Entropy ballast, and Entropy is checked every time someone
posts a message on the Forum. So I assume that over the course of the
nweek it went way negative.

And also, what does it mean for Entropy to be "set to 0"? It hasn't very
well been set to 0 if it's 500 afterward, right? Since the virtual
Entropy is the real thing from the point of view of the rules, shouldn't
it set your base Entropy to -500 so that your overall Entropy is set to
0?
