No, we don't like the ones that make busywork. Cantr is more fun when it's not a chore.

It's gotten better recently, fortunately.

As with most things in the game, it mainly doesn't work because the players can't be bothered to make it happen. We can make a lot of excuses for it, we can make a lot of mechanical improvements that would make it better, but when it comes right down to it, it will never work at all if the players refuse to let it happen.

Surprising as it may sound, I totally agree, actually. Sometimes it's difficult to balance things that are very good for the game in some respects, but do lead to more work for players, however.

Currency dosen't work becaus nobody has tried to make it work hard enough, or they haven't had enough power. but if someone with the power, say, kwor, or fircam, set up a national bank, than many people, espetially traveling people, would probably take the advantage quickly enough.

It's not just that. The people have to be able to make it appealing too. Yes, you have to have the power, but the know how, how to sell an idea to people.
