Re: [s-d] [s-b] start of week actions, or, Cornering the Thorn Market.

According to historical flavor text, new players are given one point because you 
used to be able to buy stock in players. Each share was purchased at one-tenth 
of the player's current points rounded up, but if new players have zero points, 
then their shares cost zero points and you have a great scam. I don't know what 
happened if a player was reduced to zero points back then, though.
