An economy means trade, and often means helping or simple coalition forming (e.g. a coauthor etc.?). Take a look at the Conductor's report. Many players have notes burning holes in their pockets. Maybe if no one feels it's worth paying for, that's a sign...? That being said, the economic system should indeed have a "new player salary" just for said getting started. I'll not object further to newish players' proposals on economic grounds until that's fixed (this proposal has already been objected to by others for unrelated reasons). Basically, the right answer to balance "arbitrary proposals" with "quality proposals" is a pay system, but with everyone getting a minimum salary (say equivalent to 3-4 proposals/month). -G.
