Me too. I'd prefer if the lucky dog only got to increase 1 or a couple other
players' VP. Also maybe only changing vp once the current voting period is
over. Also, if this starts happening perhaps Quiggle needs to be redefined
(half of the sum of all active players' VP or somesuch). Also perhaps the
dog days auction needs a name to differentiate it from other auctions.

Three is definitely an external force (or, if you prefer, the concept of 3
is) and we could have its projection into the game defined as an outsider (a
type of game object).

I submit the following proposal:
Create a new Rule that reads: "2 + 2 = 5".
Not really, this isn't the public forum.
