At the moment, a moveable object *is* a Mobile object. That was actually a
mistake on my part - I managed to think circles around myself trying to
define make pinball guns work the way I wanted to, and eventually decided to
define everything that could move as an MO and just configure pinball guns
to make things move themselves. I still couldn't get ricochets to work
right, though. :(

I'm opposed to things that give people lots of stuff for NOTHING. At least
with WBE, people need to work for pay, 'cause money can't be made without
resources.

vSOI got through because at the time, it was an entirely new idea. AS isn't.
So I'll be voting no on all of this, unless those production costs come into
play.

Oo! I know how Football could be simpler! Remove the Ball....
