Yes, but still, we don't need to deal with that possibility.  This will 
still result in people creating societies just for planes.

Oh, my bad.  I misread it.  But still, people will only buy 400 planes from 
eir own society, and more and as they get more societies each nweek.

Pretty much how different rules concering 'squares', 'grid squares', 
'locations', and 'grid locations are all worded differently.  This could 
have effects on thwrowing, airspeeders, and football, to name a few; some 
rules would lose eir effect off the non-valhalla grid, causing all sorts of 
craziness.  I'm sure Wonko will have a field day if this passes.
