	He's saying advancement is only based on the guide helping out. If you 
make it a game to help out more than anyone else, or be the nicest guide 
around, or be the best arbiter of disuptes, what's wrong with that? I 
think that's intentional and positive- try to get the guides to be the 
best guides they can be.
