Proposal: No Free Lunch

Reached quorum, 4-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Replace the text of steps 2 and 3 of the “Closing the Opportunity” action with the following:

# For each Seeker other than the Purchaser, increase the Wealth of that Seeker by that Seeker’s Bid (and this increase is not affected by Aspiration).
# Increase the Purchaser’s Wealth by the difference between the highest and second-highest Bids (not affected by Aspiration, and if the difference is greater than the Tension increase by the Tension instead).

Preventing Aspiration from multiplying the Bid refund. Also reducing the cap on the refund to the Tension instead of three times the Tension to make the optimal strategy slightly less boring (not a perfect solution, but it’s something)
