-50.

This doesn't actually fix retroactivity and in fact makes it possible
to extend to all sorts of other new game-breaking heights, since B's
platonic physics and real life physics are not forced to be the same
by anything in the rules of either.

This is actually a good thing, since I have yet to destroy a fish to
the point where it ceased existing in any form. And in fact
retroactive time-travel action could make for some seriously awesome
gameplay, if carefully limited such that it only worked in ways that
didn't obviously have the potential to damage the game.
