Capitalism, Ho!: ☆ZRAEL

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your clothes, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing a recent high-profile murder having been solved: despite confusion on the part of the authorities conducting the initial investigation, it turns out the victim had been tragically murdered via gun in the knife.

What do you do? ]

Should we spend some of it on housing so this shack doesn't totally fall apart? Though if it does, we won't need to worry about the rats anymore.

Can we adjust stuff...? Maybe we can do like... 800 on house, 200 on meds, 50 on clothes and 100 on books. And just eat rats instead of buying food, if we're trapping and not poisoning.

That'll bring it down to 1150, even.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[avestan]

Yeah, that works. Let's do it.

We're totally gonna get the plague.

Who cares, we've got medicine.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[stakesthesame]

I guess that's true... hope it doesn't screw us over and be like, whoops, it's only special medicine! Too bad so sad.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[avestan]

I mean, we're probably getting screwed over in this one no matter what we do.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[stakesthesame]

... yeah, probably.

We need happiness to win, right? so... we should probably get more stuff, next round.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[avestan]

Yeah, I think so. Starting cautiously isn't a bad idea, but there probably isn't any need to save up money in the following rounds.
