Subject: ignoring a minus


Someone on this list said, a couple of weeks ago, something to the effect of, 
"if he's going to invest gamespeak, he must explain it." Also, the past few 
weeks we've been doing the reverse a bit: re-using a long explanation without 
naming it. i'd like to propose naming the wonderful concept of "ignoring one 
minus". How about we call it "minus minus one" (a.k.a., "--1")? Or "minus one 
minus" (-1-)? Conversely, a cursed item might give a -+1 penalty...

IMO, the concept of ignoring a minus really helps to fill the "graininess gap" 
in Fudge, and is worthy of inclusion in any future editions of Fudge's core. 
Cheers to whomever it was who originally suggested it. :)
