Although, it could be argued that that might not be significantly
different from a p-wipe, but at least there would be some
justification and reasoning behind it. :)

(Avoiding the more interesting thoughts on focusing a game on
something other than advancement, enabling a more dynamic world. 
Or a discussion on the various ways to make a world dynamic that
might not model things that require reset (What is a 'dynamic
