yeah no not blaming you specifically and you're right but this is a nomic for fun right? we have the economy for a fun game. and like... even if there's not a whole bunch of things to buy from Agora we do have contracts now, we have game mechanics. the solution isn't always fixing the rules (not that they don't need to be fixed) it's like...we're expecting new rules to change our behaviours whereas i feel like we'd have more spending if we just...spent more. and like, obviously i haven't been spending more than y'all or anything, i did have a contract idea but not sure if it would be well received.
idk maybe we should just abolish money: it's only really around for the sake of it rn, nobody's being benefited by having more money, even someone with like 15 shinies and one office can call as many cfjs as they want for weeks, make infinite proposals. we could just go all out on this land stuff. land gives you different benefits, you claim land by doing work for it or satisfying different conditions, offices come with land not money. whoever has the most land wins. then re-invent money after if we have to because people want to buy and sell land.
