Now that I look more closely, my specific concerns are doubled - this
requires the Treasuror to accurately track literally every aspect of
the game - CFJs, Offices, and Proposals - by individual results, including
proposals and CFJs are withdrawn, with the success of a major action (the
final calculations) failing if there's a single mistake. I like the idea of
collective activity but I'm it's just too much bookkeeping in the Agoran
format. Of course there's various small ways to make parts of the
calculation more pragmatic but I'm worried it still leaves a huge burden
prone to constant re-doing of mistakes.
I really *do* like the idea of different sectors with different "performance
values" with currency speculation between them, and the event-constrained
random walk governing the various values (i.e. something semi-predictable so
an attentive player can trade on the probabilities), if there's a way to get
at a similar idea without the recordkeeping overhead.
