Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia

Russtifinko will start Day 0 soon. He is aiming for a time that will allow for consistency in the Host posts, since consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds important to ensuring we all have a fun game.

If llama dies and Russti is still alive, we move to a proportional tax system and tax 30% of all earnings instead.
Wait, it's possible to kill hosts in this game? wtf

Or is it some inside joke I ain't getting?
It's possible to kill the hosts, but if you do, you have to host the game instead, so I wouldn't recommend it.

This is easily the most pedophile-sounding post you've ever made.
To be fair, it's a low bar.

Dom, whoever indoctrinated you into thinking Keynesian economic theory is good was a bad, bad person. His economic philosophy (especially the way it's been improperly and incompletely implemented) is precisely the reason that the global economy is in its current, shaky state. Yes, in the long run, Keynes and his generation is dead. But after three or four generations of Keynesian practice, our generation is left footing the bill for all the excess spending. FDR's admiration for and adoption of Keynesian economics is arguably the main reason the Great Depression lasted so long. It stagnated recovery. </rant>
I don't know you very well, G-Man, but you are officially awesome.

Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia

MovingPictures07 wrote:Russ and Llama, I have a couple of questions.

- Will you be utilizing the Participation Score system; if so, what are your guidelines for it?
- Is this game 48/24 or 24/24?

Both because I didn't see them specified; the former because I'm intrigued and mainly so that other people can know, but the latter because I'm REALLY wanting to play, but my schedule is super tight at the moment, so I'm curious. I could maybe handle 24/24, just have to think on it. 48/24 I could definitely handle.

Thanks!
We're definitely using the P-Score system. You will be counted as a non-participant if:
-You fail to post or vote in three consecutive phases.
-You miss 4 or more (non-consecutive) lynch votes.

I just made this up, so Russ is free to contradict me if he disagrees. I am open to 48 hour days, since I am busy as well.

Regarding the topic of economists and disagreement, Keynes deserves to be a baddie (although Ricardo may not) but I am just happy I crammed a bunch a Austrians into the roles. :)
