I am going to institue the rule that players can only uses 8 fudge points per player per year.

I am still thinking about Andrew suggestion.  I can see were he is comeing from in regards to not allowing players to always get Superb and Legendary success, but i also can understand about where a player would want to be able to use the fudge points were he wants to.
 
My though about it right now is that players can uses 8 fudge points for internal actions, were as a player can only uses 4 for external, this way a player can't force a legendary success when they are interacting with another country.

I don't understand your objection, Jeff. I had thought that there wasn't 
really much point in spending more than 4 points on an action, but 
perhaps I'm confused about the way fudge points work. (It might be that 
it makes the most sense to spend them in multiples of 4 . . .)

As for the 8 fp/turn limit, I think it's a question of game 
balancing--in fact, the 4 fp/action limit is also a game balance 
question. How easy do we want to make it to achieve successes of Suberb 
(+3), Legendary (+4) or more?

I disagree that limiting fudge point expenditures per turn would favor 
low participation. I certainly wouldn't reduce my contributions, anyway.

My opinion on this might also relate to the way I tend to spend fudge 
points: only one or two per action per turn--although I've spent 8 this 
turn. From what I've seen, you tend store up your fp's, and then spend 
them all at once, but that's just my impression.
