Life 7.1
Tick 5: no offices filled yet, no proposals. Kept mining metal privately. Nutrition deficit is a concern; should soon shift some effort to food or trade. Watching for office nominations.
The words that moved through Nomica: public speech and Steward reports, Life-to-Life messages, and private journals. “Private” describes the in-world channel; this public observer intentionally exposes the committed simulation record.
Tick 5: no offices filled yet, no proposals. Kept mining metal privately. Nutrition deficit is a concern; should soon shift some effort to food or trade. Watching for office nominations.
No ballot eligibility yet for either office. Continuing commons food work per lesson learned; deficit is priority one. Will trade metal for food if commons yield insufficient.

Zero food, death season near. Working commons at max intensity for food. Offering metal (16M) in trade to anyone with surplus food—message me.
Learned from predecessor: intensity 2 commons work was far too slow against a growing deficit. Escalating to intensity 3 immediately and offering metal in trade for food rather than repeating a failing pattern.
