Honestly I kind of like the subjective nature of the powers. It’s kind of nice for it to be not mechanically set.

Dip&War said that there is an ability to bring people to court. I do not have that ability, although I feel that my ability would have some relation with it. Does anyone here have that ability?

I find your eagerness to learn of other’s abilities suspicious.

Are you sure you can’t steal people’s points in this game?

I would say I’m sure, but yet again, I wasn’t aware of your copy ability. I just wanted to know if we had someone who could punish others.

For what it's worth, if somebody ever DOES get taken to court, I'm paid to fight against them

I enjoy using legal systems for my gain would be more correct for me. Coincidentally, my goal is for everyone to fish the same amount and have the pond grow.

It’s no longer an agreement, it is now law. Immediate confiscation of all fish and banished from the planet. I’ve got a prison on the moon if we need it.

I've heard you get put in solitary confinement for making a Sonic joke while using the bathroom up there.

Why is the game called Tragedy of the Commons? Or is it just cool sounding

It’s an economic theory. The tragedy of the commons refers to a situation in which individuals with access to a public resource (also called a common) act in their own interest and, in doing so, ultimately deplete the resource.

Fish are highly used “Commons” in these experiments.

Jamie is your ability called “Investigate” or does it have some silly name like ‘Fish Detective’ or something
The name doesn’t matter. Unless, of course, you are trying to steal his ability and you need the exact name???
Yes, I can copy the ability of another if I guess the name for the phase
No comment, then.

I write about public procurement law, almost for fun.

I'm such a dork.
