          This function must exist in the master object.  It is called
          by the author statistic functions in the driver to determine
          what author a given object should be associated with.  This
          is totally arbitrary and up to the mudlib designers wishes.
          It should be noted that the author that the object is
          assigned to will receive "credit" for all of the objects
          behavior (errors, heart_beats, worth, etc).
