Vote Requested: RP Hoarding Tax

Post by **Jesse** » July 15th, 2025, 10:02 am

Proposal: Impose the below HOARD TAX if a team exceeds the described RP hoarding threshold. Redistribute RPs to qualified teams at the start of each season.

----Teams are subject to the HOARD TAX if ALL of the following criteria are met ----
1) Team has >5,000 POST-CAMP RP's still in the bank
2) Team has >2,000 more POST-CAMP RP's than the league median at the time
3) Team has hoarded >1000 RP's in that season (Hoarded RP's are described in article below and are a proxy for team's who simultaneously won't spend and don't produce)

For teams who satisfy this criteria, 50% of their hoarded RP's will be redistributed to GMs who, in that year, 1) Do not already exceed the league median RPs by 1.5x, and 2) Have not hoarded RP's themselves.

Reason: It's not good for the league when RP's are sitting dormant and aren't MOVING. The league isn't at FULL NIRVANA until the ndl isn't being used to its fullest potential and the RP economy is efficient as it could be! My hope would be that by the time a proposal like this would be approved, no one would ever actually get taxed by this rule. It's just a deterrent to make sure money be flowing!

I'm very opposed to any RP tax that penalizes content, which is why anyone who is trading or writing articles or podding at a certain level would be able to carry as many RP as they'd like.

This is how it would look in practice if done for this year:

(this is not meant to be an attack on deeez specific hoes & hoarders, b/c any rule wouldn't be implemented for a while. This is just to show what would have happened this season had the rule been applied.)

(A simpler solution would not be divying out free candy to da hoarders in a given year but i thought this would be cooler)

I like this a lot. It's fun for the league when more players are camped and not fun when there are piles of RP not being spent. Want to think through the edge cases a bit more and if there are any unintended incentives but I vote yes.

Overall I like the concept but there is definitely some situational positions that make this proposal less favorable imo. I have definitely hoarded some RPs over the last year in anticipation that I will be camping around 8 guys over the next 3 years. In my mind I’m not stingy with my RP and overall send most of the trade cap and camp everyone that I can pretty regularly. Should I then be punished because I produced enough content to have a good floating amount of RP? This rule could make people such as myself less active as I’m inching closer to those thresholds, solely do to the reason that I’m spending about as much RP as I can at the moment and any additional content would then be rendered useless to me

That being said I’m still in favor of the proposal but would like those thresholds changed a bit
