If i remember it correct i read some posts where you made some comments about different things and also could notice you have your own blogg.
I have very littel to say about your ideas about the game - but there is one thing that you mention that caught my eye and that i like very much - even if i have the opinion the game has 37 degree of freedom.
You talk about personal permanence - i hope i spell that correct - wish i like very much and i know about does things.
So i invite you for discussion about the subject and if you want i can post some math and probability about the subject - take your pick - even money bets - dozen or numbers.
Cheers
