Frequently, I hope.  Realistically, when I open my personal MUD server,
what I expect is an initial flurry of new accounts (say, up to 100 a
day, just to overestimate), then slowing down to a steadier state
(again, say 10 per day, to overestimate).

I'm curious about this idea, in any case. :-)  If you decide to "code
it up," that's great... otherwise, I'd appreciate if you emailed me to
discuss it away from comp.lang.python.

Thanks!
