Well, if something has been adopted as a rule (regardless of whether
it is setting/campaign/local specific or an actual AQ errata) and someone
chooses not to comply with it, then they are cheating.  Pure and simple.
Confirmed cheating, once again, is grounds for an invitation to quit the
club.  Enforcement of this will prove how serious we are about it.

Ick.  Only 2 ranks per game.  Don't like it.  Sucks when you want to buy
those first several extra DP and you didn't start with 15 (or more).

How 'bout a flat maximum number like 750 (the theoretical max for an
exceptionally successful adventure), or 1000 (a compromise between
1/4 and 1/2)?
