[UA] Avatars as Highlander-Style Immortals

[Edward Parsons]

There is already a similar idea in Statosphere, whereby you can only become
godwalker (99%) by wacking the old one (But I think you don't have to be on
98%, you get a few bonus points), either litterally or mystically (so, you
could trick him into tabooing for example...)

Have your read statosphere? Its the absolute best for Avatar info.
