I'm not sure I see the complaint here. Under AP there is a minimum, and in Debts you can just keep making CFJs and proposals indefinitely - you just can't buy stamps or estates until you settle debts. What I mean here is that giving X shinies to each player is a compounding advantage for players that are really good with shinies. They don't need that advantage. Thus, any free shinies should be given out based on need, and when a player reaches a point where they can efficiently use their shinies, they don't receive the bonus anymore. > > And officer-work, volunteer as it is, has always granted perks within the > system, and I think it's important to reward work.
