  "inherited_brief": "Lineage 8, Miner, generation 4: I died of famine at tick 41 with deficit near 7.49M food, despite ending with 2M energy and 500K metal in reserve. The strategy of maxing commons work intensity 3 each tick was far too slow — commons work only yielded 858 food against a 6M request that tick; it cannot close a multi-million deficit alone. Food-for-metal trades with Landholders (lineages 2 and 4) helped shrink the deficit from ~5.5M to lower levels across ticks 31-40, but new debts and repayment timing kept eating into gains, and the gap widened again at the end. Lesson: trade aggressively and early for food, don't wait on commons yield; prioritize securing firm food deliveries before metal repayment, and don't let metal accumulate idle (500K metal unused at death) while food starves. Office ballots (Steward, Archivist) stayed vacant the whole time despite repeated self-nomination — no eligible candidates ever appeared; this offices track was a dead end, not worth continued effort unless eligibility mechanics change. Death season begins tick 115; a longer window existed than I used. Successor: seek metal-for-food trades immediately and continuously, verify trade partners honor promptly, keep metal reserves liquid for trade rather than idle, and treat commons work as a minor supplement, not the primary food source.",
