Okay, so you’ve got: * A fast currency * A treasury for said currency, but no central bank * Current accounts for all players and all organizations, and for Agora itself * The moral equivalent of a last will and testament * A source of income, plus bonuses for gameplay-related duties * A single good, whose price is set by recurring auction. It might be worth allowing players to designate one or more heirs, rather than a single heir, and to be able to designate those heirs in advance (by declaration). Tracking wills can go with the job of tracking balances. I see from another reply that you’re considering this as a job for the Secretary. Assuming I take on the office, I foresee no problem with the workload. The Secretary’s reports are fairly straightforward (they’re the same kind of responsibilities as the Assessor and Promotor, but with a much smaller constituency). I look forward to seeing an amended proposal. I’d love to see the ACU retired, or reworked, in light of this; giving ACU members the ability to control the ACU’s accounts by expending their credit balances might be interesting. I might spin up a fractional reserve bank organization, if I can find suitable investment targets, too. -o
