In fact, I think this is my vision of a major overhaul: # The shiny part
* Reduce the existing assets to their most basic definitions * Fix all prices to set levels, remove the supply limit, and remove Agora's shiny supply. Simply destroy shinies when they're used. * Insitute a basic shiny income per period (week, month?) * Pay officers for the first version of a report. * Pay players for passing proposals and judging CFJs. * Fine players for reports that have undenied CoEs, and for CFJ results that get mooted. * Make pending and cfjing via shinies cost an increasing amount of shinies for each time a given player does either in within the period. * Make wins straight-up buyable. # The estates part * Create assets that are always exchangeable for one pend or cfj, therefore circumventing the increasing value. * Make estates into different categories which generate these assets. * Players may only own one estate at a time (which also means we need a simultaneous trade mechanism) # The stamps part (admittedly more self-indulgent than necessary. everything above works without it) * Instead of players creating stamps, Agora auctions stamps weekly. Either from ones it currently possesses, or it creates one corresponding to a random current player. * Certain 'collections' of three stamps are cashed as soon as a player has them. Collections have different values based on the type of collection (three of a kind, three different ones) and the rarity of each stamp (as a fraction of all existing stamps).
