i *really* like this idea.  it is simple *and* i also think it is
pretty easy for the GM to do some on the go GM'ing.  I mean there
are adjectives for results so the GM can know exactly how good the 
player did and thus fill in the gaps with whatever he wants. and 
as for going over or under the seven, i think this could be a problem
but does anyone see a major badness about just saying if you go over
or under it just remains the best or worst?

this is a *really* nifty idea.
