I just wanted to take out this one idea, and ask about it...  Does
anyone use a system that does NOT re-pop mobs in rooms?  My point is
that spontaneous generation was disproved a couple of centuries ago.
Does anyone have a system that requires new mobs to populate only if
they have "parents"?  Much more realistic, as a sufficiently avid
killer could wipe out a race of mobs, but harder to code, and much
more difficult to administrate, I would imagine.  Anyone deal with
this before?
