never thought of something like this, quite a cool idea. sort of depends on

rationalisation for his OOC>IC knowledge, which might make it less of a pain
to play with

this sounds suitable for some people i've played with, except it's have to
be some sort of "stoopid" trick or something. their *bad* advice rubs off on
everyone else...
