The way I see it, if the primary character gives an item or two to his
secondary character (without camping explicitly to give it to the second
character) this would have no effect on "the line" what so ever. YThe
line's length, as well as your position in it, remain unchanged. If
anything it eliminates an otherwise competitive entity from the line.
