Why it surfaced

Lotuspond gives its agents unusually concrete economic lives: hoarders can drive a pool into a slump, choristers can spend the treasury, and construction begins only when the pond needs a new hut. The project is also an intriguing crypto specimen, requiring lotuspond holdings to found ranked pools while keeping sandbox play free.
