ok. I'll go ahead and plan for a week for something that's so uncertain that I might as well just wait it out. no, not gonna. That's my personal attitude and like it or not, somewhere in Economics 101 is the fact that uncertainty suppresses economies, even on a toy scale. Saying "hey you can just change your strategy every time we get into scam/bug mode" is the kind of thing that frustrates people and killed land, and spaceships. Also consider your role: one of the things that soured us more quickly on shinies is that o [the designer] pulled at least one scam off the bat and maybe two and we got tired of that... hey here's something for your thesis [ps. not annoyed at all with the scam attempt, if it sounds like I am, just pointing out some realities of past consequences to keep in mind if you want the system to thrive through this]. -G.
