Point taken on meta-reports, rulesets, and agency reports. Unless I'm mistaken nobody tracks CFJ findings right now, which I was trying to sneak back in. > Allowing these to lapse without any one person responsible for them > would have worrying consequences for the game.

I can see your points about offices being more accountable, but I still want to make rewards more directly predicated on work.
A potential compromise: Lower the payrate for all offices and add a separate payment for reports published, paid to the player who published it. An unproductive officeholder would get some but not much, a productive one would get a lot. Deputization would have a more direct reward. And if an officeholder is becoming busy, e could resign without losing pay for eir previous work. > > On Mon, May 1, 2017 at 5:08 PM Nic Evans <nich...@gmail.com > <mailto:nich...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > I'm considering a more expansive take on Gigs, where several > report-based offices would be turned entirely into Gigs. > > Here's my specific thoughts, which I wanted to share for feedback > before > working on the proposal: > > -Create Weekly and Monthly Gigs which get paid somewhere around > 2-5 shinies. > > -Require 2 to 14 days notice before performing a Gig (mostly to > prevent > duplicated work). > > -Don't change Arbitor, Assessor, Herald, PM, Promotor, Referee, > Secretary, Speaker, or Tailor. > > -Remove the Registrar's monthly report. > > -Remove ADoP, Reportor, Rulekeepor, and Superintendent. > > -Create the following weekly gigs: offices meta-report, discussion > summary, slr, and agency changes. > > -Create the following monthly gigs: flr, full agency list, historical > record of players, list of recently resolved CFJs. > > Removing 4 offices potentially saves Agora 40 shinies a month if those > offices are completely inactive.
