The show went downhill after the crew got reconstituted, IMO.  Seasons 3-5
were the best ones (though 1-2 were quite good as well)

Well, I tried to make this one as useless as possible... while still being
somewhat effective.  Look at the cost: 50 * num of proposals to affect *
number of people to affect

So to change one vote on one proposal it's 50 points... and it only goes
up from there.  Not to mention that The Voter Colonel can just be
repressed.... it is a Gremlin after all :)
