I'm not the only one who feels like this is a horribly designed rule? For a start, basic income is designed to overcome the cost of living, which in Agora is 0. You could also argue its purpose is already fulfilled by Action Points, which are far simpler, far more effective, and far less damagi

I certainly don't have beef with underutilised mechanics either, and I'll confess I looked at this wincon as perhaps the most achievable without catching onto a scam. I wouldn't vote to repeal any wincons without adding new ones. On 2017-10-24 12:07, Josh T wrote: I think I have one trust tok

Another option could be to go all the way with this and remove the supply limit altogether, making shinies destructible and having costs based on how many are possessed by players, then rewards either fully constant or based on some kind of logarithmic function? (Having them tied linearly to ho
