Such is the risk of buying on credit. If you have a suggested way of
providing a means to gain VP otherwise, I'd be glad to hear it.
Here's one possible idea:
{
A party may transfer a number of marks to the Broker and specify that
these marks are for the purchase of VP. For every 5 marks transferred
this way, the Broker shall create 1 VP in the possession of that
party. When the Broker has received 100 marks of the same color
through this means, e shall transfer those marks to a random party.
That party is then obligated to convert those marks into a VC as soon
as possible.
