The latter would be dangerous.  You'd have people
buying bandwidth with instaruler, making instarules
just to eat them.

Bandwidth might be just as well to use, and let people
pool it in societies to make big, powerful changes. 
The lowest layer could be 1 bandwidth to change (it
doesn't matter how many layers are above it); each
layer up from the bottom costs a bit more to change. 
That might discourage ridiculous numbers of levels...

Given this idea, is it time to make bandwidth
accumulate across nweeks?

Ah.  Totally missed the looping aspect...didn't read
the directions closely enough.  I thought that closing
bracket was an endif, not an endwhile.
