Base FP
= 2

Maybe we should not think in terms of a specific tech level assigned to
a
FP. Perhaps we could use more of a sliding scale where the only the tech
level (TL) of the particpants is scored against each other.

For example:

Say the game system assigns tech levels from 1(stone age) to 20 (super
duper
high energy users), and a TL 5 group come in contact with a TL8 group
for
some reason. Could we then assign group one into the 2 category and then
assign group 2 into the 5 category?
