One of the things I like about Olympia's noble points is that there is
are strategic choices to be made about how your NPs are spent, and
neither of them seems to me to be obviously superior. It depends on
what you want to do in the game. So I take issue with the notion that
the "vertical" strategy is discriminated against.

I really have no problem with people restarting with their base NPs,
provided they didn't give all the ones from their previous life
away...With SWEAR gone, this is less of a problem.
