Oh, so as Axle pointed out, a token can be a runner in this instance? I
see. Thanks for clearing that up, Loki.

Sounds pretty contradictory to me. A token that represents an individual
can be a runner, but a token that represents an object that a runner
possesses cannot be gear. I'm really glad the /gear/token ruling was so
thought out.

exactly, don't you see the logic Axle my boy?

Exactly! _Because_, a token CAN be treated as a runner, but never gear.
What's wrong with you? :)

but it's a runner, so of course it can! I'll be in Florida from tuesday
to sunday, please hold flames until then. I'll let yo know when I get
back so I can be ready.

BTW, I'll probably be able to check my mail a few more times before then,
so retort, retort, retort....I would love to hear any explanations on this
subject.
