You want "Each type of Digit is a currency.".

"CANNOT".

"eir voting limit on that proposal". EVLOP is not per-proposal, but
voting limit is.

Marks and VCs should never be available in arbitrary colours.

What's Elevation?

Such as a land that is currently owned by someone else?

After the last time you protoed this, I came up with the optimal
expression for Expression Factories. Suppose you have two Digit Ranches,
one generating 0 digits and one generating 1 digits. An Expression
Factory with the expression
11 * (2 + 4X + 2Y + Z)
will generate any of the other eight digit types, depending on the pattern
of 0s and 1s put into its inputs. It's only slightly more complicated
when the two Digit Ranches available generate other digit types. I think
this is such an easily dominant strategy that the kind of gameplay you're
looking for will never arise.
