I actually really like that idea. The only problem that I foresee is designing such a game that isn't battle bots. I mean, 2001 was interesting to me, but not too many people around here seem to have liked it, so we probably will never see something like that again.
Maybe somebody has some good ideas on how a game could be designed that is competitive but doesn't need penalties? Because I can't think of how to do that yet. But I do like the idea, Kevin.
