Having returned from visiting with some friends in Baltimore (where it 
rained pretty much the whole time), I take some actions and do some 
discussion:

I do so.
It was very tempting to declare that prop Fatally Flawed at the last 
possible second... that would have given me a Win... oh well... :)

Actually, my Automation script says I give points to my society 
whenever I get points *not from the Cashbox*. So I should have exactly 
250 points more than I had at the start of the nweek.

I cease to recognize a SOE - the rejection of the other scripts makes 
this unnecessary (as mine doesn't cause any trouble anymore), and the 
entropy reset clears up any lingering confusion.

I also point out that my society is actually much less useful than you 
seem to think - it has been automatically giving me all the points it 
gets as soon as it gets (1000-(Wonko.score)) points; this is why I 
gained 250 points and infinite style; this is also why my society is 
now bankrupt.

So there's nothing to be cranky about.

I agree entirely with SkArcher's analysis.
