-I'm gonna side with Wonko. Of course the rich should get richer. It's like gaining experience in one of them big online RPGs. You get a few kills, you get better. So the incentive is to play smart and win, not to sit on your ass in a corner. What if the rewards for taking down an enemy grew as the number of kills they'd scored grew? That way there's incentive to band with other weak moles to take down the Goliath that's causing everyone problems.-
