honestly baddy was really smart to save them. for a number of reasons
- sets him and kom apart in a player list noticeably
- if the game is ever sold, more developers may join
-money
but really, think about the possibilities for a contest... to win a 2 digit ID... it could be get the most people to join, make the best add, etc.
I'm not saying baddy would do something like that.... but he basically has something 17k players want. giving one away would be a big deal and could be used for a loooot of things.
