Using tge same cyrrency for distinct markets with distinct financial controls is usually a bad idea in the real world where people are incentivized to maintain it. It'll be worse in a virtual world.
I'd still support if Subers didn't supplant shinies but rather was exchangeable.

I’d implement it such that each Suber always belongs to one nomic. A nomic may internally allocate their Subers however they wish, but that isn’t visible to other nomics. This allows us a lot of freedom with regards to things like Contracts owning Subers. In terms of record keeping, I’d have each nomic track the Subers in its possession. Wording would vary across nomics of course, but I figure around here Subers would be assets, and we would have something along the lines of “A player CAN create any number of Subers in their possession by announcement if an equal number of Subers were destroyed in another nomic with the intent of transferring them to that player in Agora. The Subers in the other nomic must be able to be traced back to a Suber Creation Event that was authorized by Agora. Any player CAN destroy any number of Subers in their possession. If they do so, they SHALL create the equivalent number of Subers in another nomic, citing this destruction as the source, within the next two hours. If they do not do so, the Subers are recreated and are not considered destroyed for the purposes of foreign rules.” I guess the most important question is whether there is another nomic that would be interested in such a mechanic; it seems like something BlogNomic wouldn’t be willing to keep around for more than a dynasty; I don’t know FRC well enough to know how they would react to such a thing. Are there any other nomics around that have overlap with our player base? Gaelan
