I support the relative returns.
I don't think, straight-up, a newbie should be able to beat someone like Vad or Kaden. I just don't. Vad and Kaden (and Alex and Victoria and etc) have invested a large amount into the site. If someone writes like Shakespeare, holy shit fuck, slap on the back, welcome to the site, but don't expect to be the god of the game from the get-go. Doesn't work like that.
That's probably a contradiction of some things I said earlier in this chat. I'm fine with that. My thoughts evolve as arguments are presented here.
I don't think decisions should be made purely on PL; I don't think PL should be the primary factor in the determination; but I do think PL should be a factor, and it should be a factor of greater consideration than, say, 10% (though I wouldn't be willing to put an exact percentage on it).
