It’s interesting that you defined a rule for this. Is it worth adding one for 
Estates, as well?

I really like the names you picked out.

Dividends should probably be paid out of some fund or out of Agora’s balance, 
or come with an automatic Shiny Relevelling Event, or something. This would 
also mean that there would be a limit on how many Shinies can be Cranked Out. 
Otherwise, it creates net new Shinies.

If we want it to create net new Shinies, we should rework the Economics rules 
to handle that.

Cranks Needed should decrease by 1 when the Brokor Turns the Crank.
