I've had this idea in the past as well, but was never
game enough to apply it completely to my life situation. But that was then and this is now.
Being a ex-roleplayer myself, I can understand quite well the comparison between certain mindsets that people adopt when playing a game, especially when resources and character levels are involved.
And yes, it's very ironic how many of us can put so much effort into a virtual avatar, but not allowing our living one the same oppourtunity of growth (hopefully not by killing and looting small critters
).
I feel my perspective of the world has experienced some more positive change, thank you.

Why not?

I really don't see why not, either. Biggest and greatest RPG of all!
