Lives? what a preposterous idea!

The main problem I can see with this is in the mechanics of doing it. If we use some kind of point system, is it automated or do the mods/admins take care of it? If it's automated, who writes the code, and how do we implement such a system?

And in either case, how do we prevent the system from picking the same person too often, or favoring a person with unfavorable attributes?

I think it's a bit too time consuming, and most of us pick up little tidbits of information about each other just by reading the forum anyway.
