Rest State
#57
Hi,

I was thinking about this at lunch. Not only does the rest sate not help the stragglers, it can actively hurt them.

Consider: these characters mostly get the "weekend warrior bonus" (wwb). Now, if someone falls behind and has to catch up, they pretty well have to do it on Monday and Tuesday (depending on just how the wwb is set up). If they play on the other days, they not only have to catch up, they'll need to get ahead since they'll drop to the "normal" state and not be getting experience as fast as the rest when everybody gets together on Sunday evening. If the only time they can try to get caught up is Saturday and earlier on Sunday, they are really screwed since they will probably *start* the Sunday evening game either "normal" or close to it.

And, furthermore, I cannot think of any implementation of a rest system that would actually help for this situation (which you brought up as an argument in favor of it).
