That'll be a problem if you ever have more than about 20 players,
though you can probably pipe the output through more (IIRC
Melville has built-in code for that).

That's correct.

I believe that's correct too. "Try it and see what happens" is
always a good strategy, as long as rebooting is an option if
you're wrong. (I guess in a persistent environment "try it and
see what happens" can be a very poor strategy.)
