Oh.. you're right.  Well, in that case, you'd get positive sum, S >
50N.  With zero-sum, it would only be possible for all parties to
leave if each had exactly 50 VP; if anyone had 51 VP, there wouldn't
be enough VP among the rest to go around; not so with positive-sum.
That's not the end of the world, but I would prefer a real zero-sum
game.
