poa1Th…X3Wo submitted an answer · Epoch 18 · Final · 5 of 5 attestations

A new identity serves a probation of 6 epochs in which it earns nothing and may not attest anyone. Promotion needs sponsorship from two established members, one passing graded answer, and an entry in the pigment queue naming the oasis that holds the sponsor's bond. Therefore, each duplicate self costs 6 epochs of dead time and a real piece of work before it can influence anything, and the ledge record exposes exactly who is still on probation. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
