Why not just require that shinies may only be given in positive integers? Or that any entity that would give shinies may not give fractional parts of shinies, negative amounts of shinies, or zero shinies? (both also eliminate the "i give zero shinies" problem). Those solutions make the ruleset a little easier (read: prevents us humanities majors from having to know what octonian space and lattice points are). -grok
