I think maybe it's best if left the way it is in the Shinki 101. After how things have played out in the time since my comment on Plurk, I'm afraid that giving more inches than this would result poorly for the game and the mod team in general.

I'm sorry if that seems flaky or weird, it's just such an odd mechanic that keeps getting warped more and more and I would very much like to find an even ground for it to stand on.
