As it's written, pretty much a person can only have one insta-prop at a 
time.  I kept thinking about other limits, but if you can only have one prop 
at a time, there is little use in keeping it alive.  The striking down of an 
insta-prop is only in place so the dead ones can die.  And if the creator 
wants rid of it, he can retract it.

Good idea.

Aye, they could... but let's not be so hasty.  The ballot is an integral 
part of the game.  Let's not go about destroying it.

> Should insta-props have point investiture like regular props?

No, I don't really think so.  That's what normal props are for.  While these 
could easily go beyond this scope, they are meant initially for a way to fix 
things without having to wait for the nweek or going to an emergency.
