Capitalism, Ho!: AlcheME!

[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? ]

B has PNEUMONIA.

Re: EVENT TURN IN

You dynamite through the wall, flooding the mine shaft.

You manage to not drown, but you do catch PNUEMONIA. Also, you are demoted.

You do not find anything on the doorstep when you go to check.

You have had 200 MONIES stolen from you. Your income for this year is now 1000 MONIES.

(You do not have to respond to this event.)

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

A SALESMAN offers you a cure for your horrible disease. At the low, low price of 100 MONIES! Do you accept?

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

Cool we have one thousand to work with. Let's just eat good food and not pay taxes I guess.

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

Your family begins to STARVE. It seems that your mine is also in danger to shutting down due to the flooding. You may soon be out of a job.

What do you do?

Not paying taxes sounds good. I mean if we go to jail for it they have to pay for housing, right?
