-Well, that's the most I've ever gotten for a prose prop (I think), so I 
won't complain, but I will note that I'd rather not have a rule that says 
I'm a Black Ops type person... seems that having my rivals stolen from 
and/or eliminated would not be a good way to get people to vote for my 
proposals.-

-Well, it /is/ related to the Grid, so I should think it should be part of 
the Grid rule, for cleanliness's sake. I'm trying not to undo the Less is 
More revolution. And the Grid rule is already hucking fuge. This won't 
change that much- the prose bits get chopped.-

-Hmm. Well, players could give other players their airspeeders as it is, or 
I could change that. I'll consider it.-

-Because then I'd have to rewrite a bunch of stuff to explai what that 
means. There's already framework in place for people to pick things up and 
carry those things. If that's how it's phrased, but not quite how it 
happens, that's fine and easier than creating another part of a rule that's 
basically the same as what there is.-

-Well, they are /vSOI/ airspeeders. And vSOI players have always gotten 
discounts on Gnomes. I'm expanding that. (By the way, there's nothing that 
says vSOI can't have more members. All people have to do is ask.)-

-Well, it would be the same thing, and it makes the phrasing of the deletion 
sentence easier.-

-I disagree with the first part, but perhaps it could be dropped to 1 item, 
and yes, it should increase Mischieviousness.-

-Eh... maybe. To get one through Gnomes costs 30 points, and that's just for 
vSOIers. How about 10 points?-

-I see... maybe. Perhaps instead a player could Snap another player instead 
of Kicking them, regardless of distance.-
