I'm not the only one who feels like this is a horribly designed rule?
For a start, basic income is designed to overcome the cost of living,
which in Agora is 0. You could also argue its purpose is already
fulfilled by Action Points, which are far simpler, far more effective,
and far less damaging to the economy as a whole. In addition, this rule
is easy to scam (as has already been pointed out), and making it
impossible to run out of shinies seems /very/ counterproductive. It's
also giving a lot of shinies to inactives, and we're running up against
the supply limit enough as it is. Can we repeal it? It's not like there
aren't other ways to get shinies, even if you aren't an officeholder.

By the way, it's pretty easy if you happen to be the Treasuror to scam
this rule to win any Estate auction. Simply give away all your shinies
except 1, and pay it to Agora any number of times to pay Agora
infinite money.

I cause Agora to distribute 3 sh. paid as follows:
* 2 sh. to ais523 (initial balance 2, registered 24 Sep 17)
* 1 sh. to Gaelan (initial balance 4, registered 25 Aug 17)
