Actually, Jedi Mind Tricks don't work very well at all - you can change your
vote after being tricked. That's another side effect of Less is More: Voting
- the Jedi Mind Trick bit now states that it supersedes a rule which isn't
there.

On a related note, Wins no longer cause Entropy Apocalypses for the same
reason, except this time 'cause of Less is More: Dimensions.

The Less is More Movement is really starting to irritate me... it does
nothing good that cannot be accomplished by the keywords system, and screws
up a lot of supposedly unrelated things.
