I think we should wait a while before having another mini-game. The last few we've had have died, not because they were bad ideas, but partly because of bugs and most of all because there wasn't enough interest. We've literally just given up on space. Before that, we had politics, which was interesting and relatively light on bugs, but no one played that either. I think it's time we took a break. I think the Agoran public has expressed its collective disinterest of adding layers on top of the base game (or, rather, its collective disinterest in engaging with those layers). That'll change again someday, but I don't think it has yet. I'd like to ask that the option of letting things stay still and doing basic game development be seriously considered. -Aris
