Reply #24: Break Bank, Cause Depression, Prices Drop, Money Buys More [View All]

[aion]

If you break the bank, and cause a depression, then those people who hold the most cash at the end of the game will be uber-rich when the bottom falls out of pricing.

What does a loaf of bread cost today? A buck? Let's assume that loaf of bread were to drop to $0.10 as a result of depression.

After funneling so much of the nation's wealth into their own coffers, the money grubbing land lubbers will be even more rich after the depression they're so intent upon causing. In the example I gave, they'd be positioned to buy 10x as much bread as they can today.
