Title: Final Grouping Equation + Solo Builder Bonus

After much testing, the final grouping equation has been worked out:

All group kills will give 1 xp. There are no diminishing returns and no
artificial restrictions. However, only kills the player himself makes
will give a chance to roll for a tougher. This creates a natural tension
between group size and ability to get kills yourself amid the chaos. The
'issue' of 10+ players crushing mobs is naturally solved by the fact
that everybody is competing for kills. 3, 5, even 10% isn't a very
good chance if you're only getting kills rarely.

Also, a Solo Builder Bonus has been implemented. If you are the only
player building on the screen, you will be given an extra XP per kill as
if you were building with one other person. Thus, building solo and
building with 2 people are now equal. Only the third builder and beyond will
actually increase your building speed. The Solo Builder Bonus
only applies to real fighting - you must take damage, land the killing blow,
and be the only person in the room's group.

The Solo Builder Bonus is mutually exclusive with the Angeled Bonus. You
can only have one or the other, never both.
