	But I do know what a big confusing state machine is.  I have a
seperate thread that runs through it. Course I do not have full cc yet but
the principles are the same.  If you are stuck single threaded for some
reason, you could write a little macro language that took a desired
character creation system and created the fsa out of it.  Then the mud
would basically just run the fsa.
	Writing languages to solve problems is always fun.
