The "team TWIS" thing basically crashed the game. I still think that was a 
scam, albeit a minor one.

It suffered from the same problem that Payment For Services and The 
Telephone did - Because time in B Nomic is a digital entity, compared to 
our analog timestream, there were occasions where a few minutes in real 
time was a difference of a day in Nomic time. Thus, due to the way the 
rules work, you can get 2 nDays actions in 5 minutes.

with turn order
