I like this solution. There are a number of other open-ended PBM games
that use this technique for new players so that they can't be cherry-
picked at the beginning of a game. Say new players can't be attacked
for their first four turns. This would allow enough time to get a few
skills and move out. As far as attacking goes - no attacks either way
between player positions, but allow new players to attack monsters/npcs
if they wish.
