What's the difference between Irrelevant and Refused? 'moot' or 'not germain
to the game'?

I actually thought a Win was an object - I've been awarded a win, therefore
I've got an object in my pocket called 'a Win'. Also, I'm not sure you
really mean "The owner of a Trophy gains one point of Respect as long as e
owns that Trophy." That either means that as long as one has a Trophy, one's
Respect keeps rising, which means infinite Respect instantaneously, or as
long as one has a Trophy, one's respect is 1, which means one can neither
gain nor lose respect. I think just giving someone a point of Respect ought
to work - we just need to fix the win rule so it doesn't clear Respect when
it blows up.
