How do you distribute limited amounts of resources among many groups/individuals vying for them?

Whoever is willing to do the most work to earn the resource should acquire it. That's what is at play here.

If people agree on a rotation - that's fine. But if they don't, it must be merit (and merit can mean merely how much someone is willing to poopsock for it) to be fair. People shouldn't be forced into a system of rotation (which amounts to a yielding of their freedom of action) if they would prefer to compete.

Alternatively, being in a system of merit is merely nature, or "how things are," so people aren't forced into that system by allowing that system to exist - it's just the way things inevitably are.

As resources become less limited (i.e. Kunark), the problem will dissipate rapidly.

How is that not "We can so we do"?
