-Well, you have fun with that... you know, finding a game out there that will let you write a loophole in so that you benefit over here... yes, it would work, if you could find a willing game. To get them willing, you'd need to spend a while there, probably, building up a rapport with them, and then you could sweet-talk them into letting you do this... you know, I don't see the problem. If you want to spend a few months sweet-talking people so that they'll let you be Stylish, go for it. *evil grin* Of course, what are your options at the moment? There's Agora... er, moving ON... there's Nomicron, whose ruleset causes them to cripple themselves every time someone wins, and who are all against letting anyone win quickly anyway - they prefer a slower rate of FUBARs than we do, apparently - and then there's... let's see... a few others, I suppose. So you could try them. On the other hand, I'd vote against any proposal that would let someone win over and over here on the basis that they'd become "infinitely Stylish" in another game, whatever THAT means. What about awarding them infinite Wins here? Where's the profit for me in that?

In short, your idea works great so long as no one else is involved. Sorry for rambling like that when I should have just said so from the start.-
