problem is that even when a nerf corrects a problem, it rarely corrects the
problem. Usually, the real cause of the malaise is primarily meta-game
factors, such as people getting busy, players getting bored and leaving,

Corona is the treasuror now. E's a bit overdue in eir Report, but in the
first week of May your balance looked healthy:

|VJ Rada | 10| 45| 1| 0| 10| 0| 55| 15| 0| 8|

The only reason I'm apathetic/not bidding is I don't know how much stuff I
have because there's no Treasuror. And I didn't get paid I think because I
forgot to apologize and I can't pend proposals now because A: I didn't get
paid B: Two paper a month and ugh it's just an apathy recipe.
On Wed, May
It could help to measure how activity fares after each nerf.
Have nerfs historically been a good way to boost activity?

Blognomic did a "What is Fun and not Fun?" poll thing a while ago. Has one
ever been done for Agora? If not, it could be a good idea do to aid to
dispel the apathy.

So I tried playing "grand dictator" last month. I made a proposal with
completely secret contents. But it was so apathetic around

It caters to me in certain things (CFJs, essays, etc; which other nomics
don't do as in-depth, and the meta-talk which is real nice), just not

Naw, I'm not trying to convince you this is fun. If you're down on the
Report style as a principle this isn't really the Nomic that caters to
you, and that's fine. (though I agree, I think we'd get better action
on Land/money if we had more up-to-date records of standings).

I agree with that zombies are quite likely to contribute to the apathy,
but the game also generally trends towards boredom as it progresses

The main "fun" was to have something valuable for auctions and to spend
money on.
Once the auctions happen, they cease to be "fun" except for the person using
them. But it sorta has to be that way. If something is worth bidding on,
it's something worth owning. If you subject it to more "compe

I've been working on a draft of zombie nerfing but it's taking a little
time. So I thought I'd post the tl;dr of what I'm going for, for
