I made a Tiny Batman Head artifact, from Dinosaur Comics by Ryan North. The picture is not by me (i suspect it's not by Ryan either), i just edited it to bring down the fie size.
As for the economy, what about Melon's
vote-based system? I'm curious to see how that would work in practice on any scale.
I'm not sure how exactly that would map to the artifact trade. What polls are you requesting with your request votes? Would this tie into actual changes to the structure and governance of the forum? If this is bigger than artifacts, what else can complete votes be spent on?
I do think this would probably work better if active votes were given out weekly instead of monthly. Just scaling that part down because this is a website and not a physical place where people live.
Ok, i've had a day to reread the democratism proposal and think about this. I think it wouldn't work for just artifacts. Artifacts, once they're made, are goods. Melon's democratism assumes goods are owned by everyone, and what you buy is labor. Services.
Unrelated: Since the
artifact box is apparently not sorted, would it be practical to let us drag and drop artifacts, and make their positions persistant?
Also, is there already a way to include licensing information or information about the source for artifacts that aren't original?
