nah - all you need is a magic axiom of 0 to eliminate any random events
so that the plot would be obvious to anyone but an optant, and a spirit 
axiom of 3 or so, so there is little introspection, little feeling,
making everybody as wooden as a yogi bear cartoon...

 Huh? (Wow, never thought of that. The Worship of Lanala brings about a TV rev-
       olution. Sitcoms are enshrined. Scooby-doo is worshipped as a virtual
       God!)

           creature?!? Lucky they found that newspaper clipping, or good old
           Mrs. Lewis would have lost her land!"

BOGUS SPOILER ALERT - DANGER CLAY LUTHER DANGER!!!














(do not read this if you think 3327 is the epitome of humor...)

once the GM becomes TORG, the mystery machine will pull up, 
and with the belief of way to many people ages 20-25,
the gang will trap ol' Gaunty in a washing machine/ice cream maker trap,
and prove that he is only lord brian salisbury in a rubber mask!

and to think, he would have conquored the world
(everybody together now...)
"...if it werent for those pesky kids and their darn dog!"

(like i would have a real spoiler - get a clue!)
