So, if a prop of mine creates a Game Object which acronyms to
O.U.T.B.N.G.D.I.D, I could get two separate Amplitude bonuses: one for
OUT, one for DID, and BNG would be ignored as per the last sentence
quoted above. Is this really what you meant? Even if you meant that the
multiple acronyms had to include the same letters as each other (which
isn't clear from the prop text), the fact that a Game Object acronymming
to O.U.T.B.N.G.F.P.I.O. could get an Amplitude bonus for the OUT part
seems a bit weird.
