You have misread prop 1766. You only get one style bonus per week
no matter how many times you change gender.

STYLISH
If a player has changed gender at least once during an nweek, increase eir style by 1 at the end of the nweek.
STYLISH

That only happens once per nweek.

What sort of gender specification requires 127 characters? Obviously, one
that won't fit into 126 would. Mine require at least 100.

on 1767: Why make someone type 100 lines for a scam? You could just write
a C program, like bd did to make 1001 CFJs, even without this proposal,
anyway.

on 1768: We're not going to enact them. Just reward them. No smoke for that.

on 1769: A society is not a Player and thus not eligible for the title.
