RIP Made 1.0, welcome Made 2.0! Assuming you're a civvie anyway.
I don't really get why Made 1.0 got votes, but I guess it was D1 and there was hardly anything else going on. Frankly, I made the same mistake as him too, and only realized I was wrong upon reading through the thread just now. Given how early it is in the game, I think not fully understanding how the rupee system works is more believable of a lone civvie than a baddie, unless it seems particularly contrived.

Sorry, I literally caught up in like 5 minutes yesterday before voting because I realized I had to vote before I left for class and that I could very well miss it if I waited until afterward. I honestly didn't see MR's post and thought he had posted without voting, something I have seen him do before if I remember correctly. Additionally, I'm in the Doctor Who game (which has over 7,000 posts), a game on K-Site (which I've been unfairly neglecting in a fashion similar to my participation in this game so far), and I thought I could juggle it all better because midterm madness is over, but my workload started picking up much more than I anticipated the last few days.
And on the topic of accountants, I know plenty who goof off and have time, but I also know many others who keep incredibly busy, especially if they are in public accounting and we're talking January through April.
As an accounting PhD student, if I did literally every single thing to the absolute max, I would need to utilize every hour of the week and then some, so I have to juggle my time wisely. Sometimes I have more time than others. Also the lifestyle of an accountant is not the same of a PhD student.
That said, I intend to fully get into this game, but I just don't feel super engaged in it quite yet. I have a harder time getting engaged absolutely immediately in speed games in general as well, especially when I'm juggling at least one other game simultaneously.

MP has been abnormally quiet so far, but I expect he'll give his "being an accountant is time consuming" excuse again. :P
I've seen him peruse the thread, but haven't seen him comment. FWIW
That's because I never actually was reading the thread. I opened up a tab to read this thread more than once last night, but as I was multitasking, I never got around to it, and then decided I would do so today.
