What? How much money?

Due to the way numbers are represented internally on computers, almost all games either cap your money or have a bug where it wraps around and goes negative. In LCS, you'd need more than 2 billion dollars to run into this bug.

I know I should be concerned about the fact that this can happen, but I'm honestly more astounded that you reached that point. How did you do that?

[Jboy2000000]

Yeah, you can only make a max amount of 200,000 dollars every month from stealing credit card number. That means you would need to gain the max amont for 10 months, and its hard to do that, plus most would use computers for hacking instead, so I dount you did it that way. Do you have sleeper CEOs stealing money? I believe the give 100,000 every month, so it would be easier,* yet take longer.

*Getting a sleeper CEO is a bitch though.

a little bit of ALOT of stuff

Joke suggestion: Perhaps when you gain the max amount of cash you should win the game where it tells you that you just "Bought" America.

But the LCS doesn't believe in capitalism!

But the LCS doesn't believe in capitalism!

If that's your actual thoughts then I think you might be missing the point of this game.

[mainiac]

On <Date> the LCS realized that capitalists may have bought america but liberals could buy it back.

This bug shouldn't occur at 2 million dollars, but 2 billion. That would be more than 80 years at 200,000 dollars a month. But that could be accelerated by having all sorts of additional fundraising and tons of people working. Still, it's an epic task to reach this bug, assuming it happened in the predictable way.

a little bit of ALOT of stuff

Must have been!

[roushguy]

I totally agree that you should be able to buy America back at that point. Heck, maybe even a special task that spends a million dollars a day in rampantly pro-liberal TV ads and viral marketing.

[SealyStar]

Obviously this isn't a bug. When a true liberal gets rich, he taxes himself until he's back down!

[gimlet]

One MILLION dollars.  /drevil   Heh $1 million a day would be good for 1 or 2 minutes of commercial time on one network during primetime.  Proctor and Gamble spends something like $12 million a day on advertising...

Agreed.

An Economic victory condition would be funny to have, if only as an easter egg. Might as well add Conquest too. Kill about three hundred million people, depopulating the US. On <date> the LCS was the last man standing. Not sure what a Technological victory would imply in LCS. Get six guys with maxed out science skill and they can build a spaceship to launch to Alpha Centauri? That doesn't really make sense.
