13 players * 4 ndays/player = 52 ndays.
6 nweeks * 10 ndays/nweek = 60 ndays.
60 ndays - 52 ndays = 8 ndays.

That's how much extra time the last sushi victim will get. Then, when those
8 days are up, the first player would become the victim. And e'd have to
wait an nweek before someone else got unbabelized, and so each person would
get 10 ndays with the Sushi and then have only one person they could give it
to.

Maybe if it expired after 6 babel periods, it would be okay. That's just 2.4
nweeks...

I don't object to being in it, or to being made to attempt a throw and get
burnt for it. I object to the last sentence of it. I see no reason why you
should casually throw in "Oh yeah, and then e got the @#$% beaten out of em
by flying Gnomes".

I wonder if I'm allowed to sue for misrepresentation..:)
