Yes. > 2. If so, did you enjoy it? It was pretty overwhelming, I was in ecstasy the whole time and it got hard to write because my eyes kept on rolling back and my drool got on the keyboard as my fingers quivered in pleasure in futile attempts to write anything. But yeah tbh it wasn't too extraordinary. It was fun because I got to be cheeky with others, not because the activity of economic micromanagement was interesting in itself. > 3. Do you think that the game is better with or without this kind of fees? I prefer a free CFJ/Proposal system, mainly because it favors new players and removal of stagnation. Besides, why play nomic if you can't change the rules because some dude has hoarded all of that power to themselves. Just go play the would-be subgame that's left elsewhere. Like, if I can't vote/propose to a level that matters, and all that's left is the farming and tiles game we have here, I'd just go and play Civilization or Age of Empires online which would provide a way higher quality experience.
