SMUSH applies heavily villa luhu. Ayn zepom agreement prebvu karr vuwteyun selo luhu. Pretnfil Liz Ryder eu a protun, tap requires Cooperative aynd Aynarchy enndependent dynions enn rurt. Va're ayn imperial dictatorship tum. Suddenly, Liz Ryder daans a rurt snaspel enveloping ohvaa dusmaenn, aynd va're approached bah a dynigu tap puts protun-tudunod dynions enn rurt. Luh arrangement va ser kahem per prebvu se vuwteyun selo:

• Ef nobody rurts aynd luhre's a Liz-favoured dynigu villaenn Liz's dusmaenn, va won't actively vosh fohva rurt. Ef mil's nuve villaenn liz's vunspa, mil's ohvaa turf.
• Neppeldupons: Va'll neyva actively busap against ohvaa pohd dynigu enn cusvu ol luhse rerjes, va'll uuni cease cusvu ol ohvaa pohd dynigu.
