Actually, I was thinking of people having to actually stake some sort of 
claim on a square and/or actually getting a bulldozer out there.  Along with 
other stuff.

In the uber, that would be an Object.

In the uber, that would be an Entity.  And they can be either Independent 
(Players+Admin) or Dependent (Gremlins).

Depends.  Score and BNS are properties of objects.  Gnomes are Physical 
Objects (as are Players and Gremlins, but these 2 are also Entities).

Many things are properties or lists of properties of such Objects as the 
GameState and Clock.
