VP let you buy any one-off action, provided someone's willing to sell. (Any transferrable currency lets you do that, but VP are directly earmarked for the purpose.) Chits and other things can be shuffled around as another means of gaining VP. Points and (especially) Ribbons depend on whether you care about winning in those fashions. Ditto Crops, which can only be spent to gain Points or other AAA-defined entities. > so I > hope that some general-purpose currency remains stable enough that a > contract amendment is sufficient to provide such a system.
