In keeping with the current progress and direction of the guild, I propose the
following enhancement:

Since being a nun is about sacrifice, and maintaining our daily duties,
members of the guild should have to tithe a small amount in support. Junior
nuns (5 guild levels or less) are in training and exempt from this
requirement. Other members of the sisterhood tithe a small token amount of
([guild level - 5]/2) gold each minute. This amount can be given directly to
Valentina with the 'tithe (amount)' command. Up to six hours may be tithed at
once.

Elders and Synod members, recognized for their great sacrifice for others, are
naturally expected to tithe more. An Elder has their rate increased by 5 gold
each minute, and Synod members by 15.

If a sister's tithe rate falls to 0, Las deems the sister has not devoted
herself to the guild, and she is unable to use any guild spells.

If this idea were implemented, it would have the added benefit of removing a
small amount of extra cash from the game.


Rate -1 if you think we need to sacrifice in support of the sisterhood.
Rate +1 if you think you are better than everyone else.

If something along this line is implemented, I'd like to suggest that while
Valentina, as a traveller could collect tithes, a different member of the
convent should be the accountant. Valentina isn't the accountant type and her
travels keep her busy anyway.

A different nun (likely an already existing one) could do the accounting and
take collection of tithes directly. This would give nuns two places (one
stationary and one mobile) to make tithe.

I'd also like to be able to make tithe more than six hours ahead. Since I idle
a lot I'm afraid that making the trip to tithe would start to feel like an
extremely frequent chore. (Unless idle time didn't count toward time that
needs to be tithed toward, but I don't know the details of what's practical in
implementation.)

I don't know how likely any of this is... the bad=good rating system makes it
hard to interpret the voting totals.
