Portee,

my problem is that I only have a limited supply of aquivite, and I don't have the knowhow to make Ripple. This means that I can really only celebrate a limited number of times per year; therefore I can't buy all the "winners" you are suggesting. I can only limit my number of wins to no more than 3 per year, either I run out of aquivite or the party is not "rich' enough.
