An early proto of what became this economy included taxes, but I think it was scraped because of the logistical overhead. Ideas I considered at the time:
-A tax on players' wealth (wouldn't stop players from hording shinies in orgs) -A tax on organizations' wealth (would require weird budget balancing for escrow orgs like AAaAA and AVM) -Replacing expenditure with a monthly org fee that the org can raise from its members however it chooses (relies on orgs being interesting enough for people to join them) - A monthly auction of valuable assets (relies on the assets being valuable enough for people to buy them) On Thu, Apr 27, 2017 at 6:02 PM, Sprocklem S <sprock...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 27, 2017 at 1:34 AM, Nicholas Evans <nich...@gmail.com> wrote: > > You're registrar (via deputization).
