Part of the purpose of the reset was to occasionally relevel the whole economy. It helps keeps things balanced. Otherwise, if (for example) we've got the rate of pendant production too high, then after a couple months pendants are so cheap that no one cares anymore. The alternative is more hands-on adaptive management (e.g. things like taxes when there's an oversupply). But yeah, looks like wins are set too cheaply compared to the # in circulation at the start of each reset, so either raise the win threshold or lower the initial handout. That being said, 8 people can almost always force a win if they want, just by a proposal. The reason they don't do that all the time is it's too boring and a boring win isn't worth doing? So maybe the contract won't even find 7 others interested enough to trade their current possessions for a win, so on a meta-economic level it might work out fine. -G.
DIS: Friendly Neighborhood Notary Petitions the Honorable Associate Director of Personnel for a Change of Interest
Dear H. ADoP, I, the Notary of Agora, humbly submit my request for the interests of the office of Notary to be updated. It is my humble opinion that the Notary not only deals with the Economy, but also has interests in player Participation. The Notary puts in a lot of effort into fulfilling eir duties and is currently rewarded very minimally, and is not even able to grant cards to eir fellow Agorans. Therefore, H. ADoP, I request that you use your official authority to flip the Interest switch of Notary to [Economy, Participation] without objection. Long live Agora! -- ATMunn friendly neighborhood notary and Czar of Russia :)

Couldn't you re-do the amendment indefinitely?
