Thx for clarifying Caer -- you help point out the fundamental game design problems of bonuses with regard to Chaos.
It brings up another possibility -- bonuses being reset based on some interval (session, day, week, reset)? Bonuses _need_ to be reset at some point. Thoughts on that?

As ive said before, i dont really use bonuses .... thats why i green <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':happy:' />
But i think thats a good idea ...... id say reset everything at the official RESET. Itd make more sense. Just as your score, stats, etc all go to zero, so do your bonuses <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unknw:' />
I think Caer points out a major problem and how it could be used to abuse the system by saving up bonuses.

To some degree, I've done it. And one of Sika's turrets used way way waaaaaaaaay more bonuses than they earned. This was when !bonus devour was there too.
Oh. While on topic of bonuses, and Gadianton. He was whining about how the cost of !bonus defense was changed, along with his other usual lines of "it should remain unchanged for eternity". He seems to actively have forgotten that the CD release did not feature bonuses. Not that the CD release is in anyway holy, but it's a sort of a standard "SVS" setting <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unknw:' />
