-That's the thing, see. They aren't /supposed/ to affect the game. The idea 
of the Quest is to create a rule that no one can change. Regardless of 
whether anyone does that, all immutable rules will then be destroyed. Do you 
see it now? It's a one-way deal. IRs can screw with each other and 
themselves (Does that sound dirty, or is it just me?), but they can't screw 
with the game, and the game can screw with them.-
