-Mmm, nice to see that the spirit of friendly competition is still alive and well in this game... anyway, I have no use for score (what is it except a measure of how much you stand to lose to a scam?) or charm (1 point of Charm = 10 BNS per week, but my Ministerial salary effectively adds 7.5 to my Charm, and I still have more BNS than anyone, so this isn't that big a deal.), really. And as for bandwidth... *shrug* What else am I going to spend it on? And what's the point of playing a game if you're not willing to risk a little?-
