Actually, I just thought of an interesting, completely unintentional
effect of The Voter Colonel that helps with that.... It goes on killing
until it reaches its "killing quota"... Which means that (with a small
tweak, which I shall make), if you paid for 5 people to die, and only 5
people vote on the proposal... you die too, and since everyone is dead,
the proposal doesn't pass!  It's a fine line....

Well, if no one wants to vote for it I'm cool with that... I just think
this game needs a bit more of an element of danger to it (heh heh heh).
