If we must make this move, let's use up the gaps - I suggest 974 - as close to
the arms as the hip piece is to the legs - but I guess it makes little
difference.
This would also be a great opportunity to spread out the p... numbers a bit
more, to allow for future expansion whilst keeping members of the same theme
together. Eg. Town 001-099, Space 100-199, Castle 200-299, etc, and even
subgrouping within that. Any objection to using three-digit P... numbers
exclusively? Seems better than p01, p02 .... p98, p99, p100. If no
objections, I'll try and post a more detailed plan.
Is there a real likelihood that we will ever find the real number for the torso
part, or do we actually have four characters to play with (974p....)? If so we
might be able to be more descriptive?
