      No, it should go into something map-maker specified.

Yeah that makes sense. Designated exp given for solving an entire mapset
from beginning to end would probably be a very good idea.

Also, Mark, when I was talking about theifs you said most of this type of
game (crossfire, rogue etc) are just hack and kill. The point I was
making, was that this particular player found the theif enjoyable because
it had skills other than that. It is for that reason that I was wondering
about how we might improve the crossfire experience, by making _such_
skills as theivery more powerful, or even more useful.
