We might also make some allowance for new players taking over for empires with few story-points to date. While there is still plenty of time to score lots of yarn-points, it may not feel that way to a player who takes over, and it seems a little unfair that they should be punished because their predecessor was not writing regularly. Ideally, we would find replacements who are in it for the pleasure of creating the stories, but the point system is a good motivational tool...

Perhaps for new players we could boost their yarn-point-totals so that they have at least 1 point per turn, thus allowing them to start roughly competitive.
