Yes, I was cursed, but by r20:

"Each Player is eligible to vote on each issue on any given Ballot for the
duration of the voting for which the Ballot was issued. "

The Witch rule says I can't vote, but never declares precedence on

That's just defining what a DimShip does. It never says 'Additional DimShips
do nothing'. By your logic, nothing but the very first DimShip ever
purchased could do anything at all.

Either all of them can affect my dimensions, or we only have one player (*A*
player is any entity who is capable of passing the Turing test -- emphasis
added)
