We rejected doing something similar to this because a) it's too open to
abuse and b) we feel it encourages killing smaller players. If you know
that you can at least 1 point for killing someone smaller than you, then
you will have players (particularly on the mud referred to here, which I'm
assuming has no credit card tracking capabilities to control account
creation) simply creating newbies to kill in order to get points.
