The problem we have is not enough gameplay, and you're proposing to get rid of what little we have. As for why we're in a lull, that's because a bunch of players left, all, AFAIK, for RL reasons. Not an overcomplicated ruleset (although there are improvements to be made in that area, and I'm a fan of omd's proto, I don't think it particularly affects activity levels). Note that your proposals don't reduce the recordkeeping burden of any of the vacant offices (in fact they increase it slightly where budget switches are transferred). > Proposal: Simpler Proposal Fees (AI=3 > CFJ: scshunt submitted a proposal in the above quote, and paid the corresponding Distributability fee. > Proposal: Handshake Deals are Enough (AI=3, PF=120) FOR, but I don't think it will make much difference.

Maybe the reward switch is set a little high, but that can be an election issue.
