Hmm, we seem to have gotten rid of Payday - is that true or is it hiding? If we have, I am AGAINST this until we ensure that the shiny flow is balanced and doesn't require players to go into debt to basically participate. In particular, I'm thinking about 天火狐's comment that a player who doesn't officiate doesn't get anything. For the "casual" (read: non-officer) player, we shouldn't require going into debt to perform a limited number of weekly/ monthly actions. A Welcome to new players shouldn't be "here's a starting purse, but once it's gone, you need to be an officer or judge to keep playing". But once this is included, this looks better than AP, because with AP and no payday, new players are basically locked into AP instead of shinies and as 天火狐 notes, that depresses shiny spending. Also: don't forget to pay the Arbitor this time :).
