It could lead to something bad, potentially, yes. However, it seems to me
that with 16 possible DNA combinations and the power to mutate once per
nweek, a cautious player who does not mutate prematurely should be able to
mutate away from a twin's DNA if he feels strongly enough about that twin's
proposal to vote against it. That said... Maybe you're right about having a
penalty there. Maybe we could use your criminal system?
