Insect could go, couldn't it?

Faeries ought to be faster, I would think. And I think Elves should be
generally much better than all the others, and then have some race-specific
drawback (like, say, they have to hang out near Trees or they slowly lose
points. That would make things more interesting.)

Blobs will have a tremendous PGGB advantage, won't they? What with 16 times
a faery's Tolerance... Not that I've got anything against Glotmorf getting
drunk out of eir whatever-body-part-passes-for-a-skull-in-blobs, but I do
have a problem with em getting paid more than I do to do it.

"Speed Boots" is a pretty boring name, though.

You haven't put in a method for people to change eir race. And if your
mining proposal passes that creates 'fossils' and gives them each a Race,
this will cause problems.

We'll see.
