Two questions.
1. why wouldn't anyone get rid of the fish like a hot potatoe and keep the 
hundred genechips?
They can't - even if you ditch it immediately, the action doesn't resolve 
until the end of the nweek, and you're stuck until then.

2.They should perhaps have to include the game action in the other two 
languages for verification purposes.
Nah, if it's Babelized you'll be able to tell because it won't make any 
sense. If someone wants to fake that, fine by me.

I like the way you work, here. It's sublime. State problem...

It would work better if you punished people for breaking the Sushi. You

...state solution. Yes, I will add something along those lines in. I knew I 
was forgetting something.

This also seems just like the original sushi, which was repealed

Well, the other one wasn't repealed all that quickly, and I thought we 
killed it because it spent a lot of time trapped in the possession of 
players who weren't doing anything. This proposal will fix that and give 
people money for having to deal with the thing. Money is good, and so is the 
Sushi. It brought us "ass the flag thing in" and the name of vSOI... really, 
it's not Nomic without some sort of institutionalized nonsense.
