I hope so. I don’t want to have… “bought” 8000 dollars of fishing equipment for nothing.

There's not really a lot to discuss until we get a pond update or somebody reports something of interest.

The tragedy of the commons is a metaphoric label for a concept that is widely discussed in economics, ecology and other sciences. According to the concept, should a number of people enjoy unfettered access to a fishpond, they will tend to fail to enter their orders, the predictable result being a tragedy for all.

perhaps the real tragedy of the commons was the missed opportunities we had along the way

@GM can we make some progress please. If people haven't submitted orders I suggest you interpret as zero fish.
@rest of fishers - if we get no action by say 24h from this post I propose we abandon this pond and migrate.

So far this economic simulation is suggesting that the problem of over-utilisation of scare resources is not to be addressed by better management, more efficient methods, or government intervention, but increased laziness.

PHASE CHANGE
It is now Round 3
I have taken damo's advice. Everyone who has not submitted fishing amounts fishes 0 fish.
55 fish remain.
PMs going out now.

Catch was 16-19
I caught two so if there was one zero catch that leaves 14-17 between 4, if Dip was bluffing and thee were no zero catches it's 14-17 between 5. There may not have been illegal fishing but definitely outside quota agreements.
Boo!

tut tut tut, I expected better from my fellow fishers... I only took 2, and this is my point; the overfishers can simply continue overfishing, without much overall growth.
