Hence the wording 'pretty sure', not absolutely sure : )
Coincidence does happen, and in this case it seems like it
is coincidence, that I have never recieved SoCR's while N=.
I now wonder if this has been true for all versions, as I
have thought this for ~6 years.

Well, 'pretty sure' is not much of a stamp of authority.
In a way, I prefer not testing things imperically, (in this
game at least). You see, it wouldn't be much trouble for me
to re-load save files, and I have done plenty of that in
the past, believe me! Besides, I'm proficient enough with
memory editors, to not need re-loading anyway, I think that
parameter fiddling is superior. I've also done hordes of
that in the past with ADOM, but no longer.
It's just that testing things that way (mem edit/svg re-load,
leaves me feeling a bit...blah (for lack of a better word).
I now prefer 'seat of the pants' info gathering. With enough
players contributing, the (sometimes MORE) correct answer can
still be achieved.
I will still sometimes test things using re-loading/mem editing,
if I can't get the answer other ways. I consider it a last
resort though, because it bores me.
