I love this idea. And you can combine it with the old-timer privelidge--if
multiple people want the same number, it goes to the oldest R(or A)TLer.
And if someone pisses you off, you can assign them a Time Cruiser number.

Hmm, this idea is indeed interesting, but has a couple of problems...are 1-9
enough for the old-timers? And what if, after these select numbers are
handed out, a Jeff Crites shows up and is left with 1378 because the single
digits are already gone? Is there a statute of limitations on claiming a
low number? And while I'm sure I'd qualify for one, quite honestly I'd
rather have 39--but if it turns into a status symbol, I wouldn't want to
have to go medieval on some number 26 punk who thinks he's been around
longer than me (okay, that last one was a bit facetious, but I could see
that kind of thing happening). And, really, who would want 2? You'd just
have 7 people fighting over number 1.
Anyway, if your database (or whatever) can support it, I'm all for the set
number idea. And someone can still be number 1 if they actually want
it...but who wouldn't rather have 928 (for that matter, two people can have
the Galaxy Explorer with this system (497 works, too)).
