I count 23. So in 17 mweeks, or 5.5 months, you'll be less than inebriated
again.

Meanwhile...
"There exists a Gremlin known as the Goon Gremlin, or Guido. If Guido is
Active and in Limbo, and an Inebriated player in Limbo makes a proposal, 1d8
is rolled. On a 2 or 3, Guido Smacks that player, taking 4 of eir points. On
a 1, Guido Throws that player in Elbonian Airways style at a random square
of the Grid which is at least 3 squares away from any border of the grid."

Remember him? You might want to include in the 'disinterested' prop. that
they're treated as if they had the immunity idol as well...
