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?

This is easily the most pedophile-sounding post you've ever made.

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>

- 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!
