In general I'm supportive of making some combo of agencies and organizations, but there's some problems with this proposed method. Keeping shinies in a single player's possession defeats all the merits of an escrow scheme: they can spend them without any issue (unless we add punishments, which I think is the wrong direction), they can change the agency without others' input (orgs typcially require member approval), and if they deregister the shinies are gone. The whole point of using an org as a middleman is that, if the org is structured correctly, there's no way to cheat people out of the assets it holds. > > We can make entire *nomics* within Agencies already lol.
