it's like we need a go to meeting

agreed. dang, writing those cards would be so much fun-

ok, I like everything but the multiple choice questions. I think quantitative values placed on choices. the values are determined by real life stats and the risks weighted. that's how it is for any entrepreneur

lol we gave him 2 different answers. Sorry gblaze... We're new at this..lol

Game cards? "The moocher is obstructing your invention of the Perfect Regenerative Drug, in attempt to eliminate the need for health care ins. Advance 4 spaces and claim a loss on your taxes resulting in a tax refund of 5 gold coins."

I'm not sure you have come up with pieces-I'd say object of the game

are you only speaking of your contribution so far? or are you talking about all ideas in these posts?

This is fricken hilarious!

I could or I'll just do it myself. Either way.

Tax relief square (or card) for Producers.... maybe the game's economy should be the producers earning money (some how...but NOT for going passed GO type of stuff...answering multiple choice business questions x the dice total...we'll figure that out later) The producers have to pay taxes into a separate account and that's the only funds that moochers can get their money from. Like the US economy... LOLOLOL... only no option for borrowing or running up debt.

Okay what should it be under game pieces or Object of the game?

are you putting up any starting capital?

In that case he prevents the Maker from making it and Government takes it and uses it to control the people, those who conform to the Governments wishes get the drug, those who don't do not.

Man this stuff writes itself.


Of course I expect 5% royalties on every game sold.

the suits are all on-I feel like we're being watched by Margaret Mead :)

wow. that would set the stakes. we'd have to have something on the other side to balance it. but yea, for it to be a fun game, the chance of winning has to be roughly the same

Would that be a space that is landed on "set tax rate for Producers", or a card that is drawn when landing on a "feed the beast square"...."Exercise your mooching muscle and set the tax rate percentage for producers by rolling the dice and multiplying the total by 10." Leaving the possibility of being taxed at a 120%. lol (It could seriously pay to be a moocher...JUST LIKE REAL LIFE!)

wait. some of these ideas could be incorporated on cards, with quantitative values attached. but gblaze, you need to move your post to one of the underlying categories LS set up so we have organization, or move your comment to the original pot.

Guevara, but I'm not editing, remember? geraldo is good too though

Oh yeah :)....

Wow...I'm not sure a moocher would even understand all that, but I like your thinking. What's in it for the Moocher to stop the maker from making the PRE drug?

Geraldo?

Like the idea, I was thinking of making a Gulch game where players can be Moochers and Makers, Moochers try to stop or use the Makers who's goal is to solve one of a few problems. The goals of a Maker would be Solve the energy problem, taken from Atlas Shrugged Movie, make a power source that uses ZPE. Perfect Regenerative Drug, a drug that allows people to live Disease free and heals from most wounds (no healthcare costs). Ultimate Manufacturing, Nanobots assemble anything you can think of out of basic elements.

All the Moocher has to do is prevent the Maker from attaining his goal using tactics, ie. suing, federal laws, regulations, etc. Or trying to get money from the Maker (either slowing or stopping his progress) of course the Maker can get ways to protect him from Moochers but which are not easy to attain and may slow his reaching his goal.

non mooch should be able to help with this

moocher pieces-bust of Lenin, motorcycle-for that Rivera guy, subway train, smart car, tree

terrycan is an industrial designer, maybe he has suggestions. bracelet of rearden metal, motor, pirate ship, futuristic train, bar of gold, copper coin, that sort of iconic figure of an atom,
