The First Mega Game International Bank

[lch]

Now I feel like jumping in that MegaGame just to take loans from everybody and not pay a single cent back.

Yeah, I have to say too that I would have little interest in paying a loan back, unless the bank in question was next to me, and could come kick my *** to get their money back. Which would be extremely unlikely early game, in a game this huge.

Of course I would be blacklisted for that, but I would get that initial 1000 gold or whatever... very useful in the early game. And, I would know right off the bat who my enemies were (the Banks).

don't take loans from these shysters!!!

They give a little money to help get you going, but then you have to adhere to their "structural adjustment policy", and next thing you know you're their forge beyotch.

You forget, people might be angry when they learn the Bank doesn't their 900 gold since someone stole it.

Its not very polite to copy a concept and then advertise your copied concept in the originals advertisement i think

I'm a believer of player honesty. You could of course regard me as a fool, however, I don't consider online gaming to be anything like a vacuous environment. Yeah you could take the money and run, but that experience will carry over to other games. Besides, what makes you think I'm not already constructing the blacklist...

I'm pretty sure dominions is not about being polite.

R'Lyeh's currency is sentient creature's brains so I'm not sure how interest works in regards to cerebral material.

Big part of fun in the first megagame was the feeling of initial chaos and free-for-all in the beginning. I'd continue the impolite line by rudely pointing out that prior to game arranged deals which smell like informal alliance of up to 12 nations do not serve the "fun" for the disorganized rest.

Therefore, I Approve all the trashing this thread has gathered.

I completely agree, honestly. Do people really expect the bankers to attack each other if they get assigned capitals next to each other?

I HEREBY ANNOUNCE THE ANTIBANKING SOCIALISTIC REPUBLIC OF EARTH, otherwise known as ASRE! Let's join sickles against the evil corporate banking tyrants!
