Ok here's a big (not) economic proposal. It revolves around gaining
points for high score.
The first most notable change is the complete elimination of coins.
Current coin holdings are liquidated into points based on each player's
proportion of the total coins.
The second is a relatively small but extremely impactful change in
stamps. Stamp wins are removed, and minting stamps is done mostly
through dreams. Stamps earn points by being cached in 'runs' of
different stamps (with exponential gains as the number of stamps rises)
or 'sets' of the same stamp (with linear gains).
The third is a big overhaul of dreams. Dreams are changed to be set
weekly, and mostly have passive effects. They are also simplified a bit
mechanically. Dreams are now the way to get L&FD items (instead of
auctions) and Stamps (instead of minting).

Amend R2675 (Dream of Wandering) to read in full:
The Dream Keeper is an office; its holder is responsible for
keeping track of the dreams of all active players.
Dream is a secured active player switch, tracked by the Dream
Keeper in eir weekly report, with possible values any Dream,
defaulting to Wandering.
An active player CAN "envision" eir own Dream, specifying any
valid value for eir Dream, by announcement. When the rules state
that the wandering occurs, every active player's Dream is set to
the value e most recently envisioned. If a player did not envision
a dream since the last wandering, it is not flipped.
A wandering occurs at the beginning of each week.
The following is an exhaustive list of all Dreams and the rules
relevant to each dream:
- Wandering: This dream has no effect.
- Charity: The Charity Item is the item type that the L&FD owns
the most of (if there is a tie, the first the L&FD owned, and if
still tied, the first alphabetically). Immediately after a
wandering, for each player with the Charity Dream, in reverse
order of when eir Dream was last flipped (and in reverse order
of registration if tied), one item of the Charity type is
transferred from the L&FD to em.
- Justice: Immediately after a wandering, 1 blot is expunged from
each player with the Justice Dream. If a player with the Justice
Dream had no blots immediately after a wandering, e CAN once
expunge one blot, by announcement, from a specified player
before the next wandering.
- Wealth: Immediately after a wandering, 2 stamps of eir own type
are granted to each player with the Wealth Dream.

then a specified stone tied for mossiest) Agora owns to emself.
E SHOULD specify the stone when doing so.
- Power: The voting strength of a player with the Power Dream has
eir voting strength increased by 2 for referenda on ordinary
proposals.
- Revolution: A revolution is happening if the majority of Dreams
are set to Revolution. Immediately after a wandering, if a
revolution is not happening, then all players with the
Revolution Dream have eir score decreased by 1. Immediately
after a wandering, if a revolution is happening, then all
players have eir score set to 100-X, where X was eir score when
the wandering occured, and all player's Dreams are set to
Wandering.
snail becomes the Dream Keeper.
Amend R2632 (Complexity) by adding the following paragraph to the end:
