I am, at least, already well convinced of the necessity. I just haven’t made the time to write a proposal about it. I do have a couple of loose ideas: * Allow any player to receive a payment from Agora at most once a week, without objection, if and only if no player has fewer shinies than they do. * Allow the Secretary/Treasuror to cause Agora to pay anyone, with consent, out of Agora’s coffers, with a SHOULD guideline to use that power to compensate for income gaps, or at the expense of immediately triggering an election for the office, or something. I do have an idea I can put into action myself, without futher proposals, if Agoraculture passes, which will give people the opportunity to earn Shinies - but it’s morally suspect and doesn’t address the core problem. -o
