Your math is off. He asserted 200 shards each over the three days it might take to get a chunk, so 70 per day, which is in line with our current gain of 35 shards in half a day.
Ah. I'd misunderstood. Yeah, 200 shards over three days is fair.
I wasn't sure what to put there, but it's all of our current inventory of shards (not counting the current pool), so erred on the conservative side. I might bump it up, but am still fuzzy on where to set the cap.
It's a judgement call. On the other hand, wanting to get the value of the chunk to be fairer is one of the big reasons for wanting to wait it until the end of the day - when "number of shards each person has" won't constrain the prices quite so badly - probably leading to a somewhat fairer exchange rate. For where to set the cap? Well, we've had two people weighing in on it. One of them started out at 200, and has been convinced to admit that 50 might be acceptable as a bare minimum, just to allow for some basis of discussion. The other started out at 20, has been argued up to 30, and still thinks that 50 looks pretty high but is willing to accept that there might be reasonable arguments for it. If you want to go with the "I don't want to think" answer, then 50 is the classic "compromise means no one gets what they want" point between those two voices. Otherwise, feel free to weigh in. Your own logic would be welcome.
The reason my original version didn't bother trying to get anything from the ring decision is because of the cloak. If Yuuka gets the cloak, it would be easier to consider that 'fair' by not having her participate in any shard exchange over the ring, particularly if the other party members similarly assess the value of the cloak as relatively low due to its niche nature.
Huh. Yeah - I guess I'd buy the cloak as being worth about a third of the ring, overall - at least close enough not to argue over it. Your vote didn't make that entirely clear, though.
