Generally people have asked me how we can stop resource depletion. I propose a simple group that aims to stop depletion by collectively not depleting and punishing those who deplete.

If you join CARD

• You will not intentionally deplete resources and will be careful to ensure this doesn't happen

• You will not trade with or help those marked as depleters (information below)

• Help includes things like using positive spells on them, giving them wins (if they request), etc

• Trade includes auctions

• You will report depletion if you see it in the marked thread (here or somewhere else)

• You will receive a share of the coins from depleters who pay to expunge their crimes

CARD will (with the community)

• Track depleters on a public thread. each depletion causes 1 mark against their record

• 1 mark can be removed with the payment (1 gold for people under 100 days, 5 gold for people under 1000 days, 10 gold for players older than 1000 days)

• Marks will be removed after the period of 3 months

• Anyone reaching 5 marks will be marked as depleters and banned as above

Current Members:

• Chewett

Current Depleters:

• None

Notes:

• I will start tracking marks in 1 weeks time to allow people to time to have a think about if they want to join

• Resources that must be depleted to be gathered (memory stones) are allowed to be depleted

• Some leniency is given for when a tool gathers more than expected, please post below on a mark if you wish to appeal

10 gold as a set sum is too high for some people, and too low for others. I would recommend basing it on active days. This way veterans who should know better pay more and new players who are learning pay less.

1 gold for people under 100 days

5 gold for people under 1000 days

10 gold for players older than 1000 days

?

I see that you could choose not to buy stuff, but if they keep being highest bidder on your items, this could get complicated

Should using a rain spell or two also remove a mark?

This seems good, I will amend later

I have some evil ideas about this. But for now I wouldn’t worry

One note.

There will be NO LEADERSHIP, new or changes to rules must be voted by >50% if members otherwise it will not pass. There are no tie breaks, the community decides how to run it.

Can we not implement some new tools and new roles? Even a real garden needs a farmer to farm the lands and grow crops. This opens up new evo branches, tools, and stats.

You already have legislators for shared items.

I would say something like this is better as a community effort, than a dedicated role.

I look forward to seeing CARD develop!

You are welcome to petition what you like, we in CARD will do this.

We would welcome you if you wish to join!

As one that doesn't go get the tool(s) to gather resources, up until the evo shop... where we can now get perm tools. It's made resource gathering more prominent. If we can't self regulate, those doing the depletion, you think charging gold will work? And who regulates shared tools?

Perhaps, going along Chewetts Idea of CARD. When you go to get a shared tool, if the player has X point against them they are denied permission to grab the tool(s)
