What if I do, "As soon as any other player gives me 5 points, I throw em a
Gnome"? It's not reliant on a specific action, just the general one of
somebody giving me points. Another player could then say, "As soon as Wonko
votes yes on my prop, I give em 5 points", or simply "I give Wonko 5
points". The Recursion Number of my action is dependant on the recursion
number of the other player's not-yet-performed action, which can't be
determined until the action is performed.
