Proposal: The Loan Sharks
Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Enact a new rule, “The Loan Sharksâ€, with the following text:-
Any Seller can request a loan by making a post with the title “Requesting a Loan†and naming both another Seller and dollar amount, X, that is a positive integer. Then, if the named Seller makes a comment on the post with the keyword GRANTED, in all caps, the Seller that made the comment must reduce their own profit by 1.2X and increase the profit of the Seller who requested the loan by X, and also add to that Seller’s name in the GNDT the text string “Loan worth X from ____â€, where X is the dollar amount and ____ is the name of the Seller that made the changes. No seller that has such a text string in their name in the GNDT may win the game. At any time, any seller may Pay Off The Loan by reducing their profit by 2X and increasing the profit of the Seller whom the Loan was from by 1.8X (1.8 multiplied by X), and then removing the corresponding text string from their name in the GNDT.
BAM! I can’t see any problems with that…
I think the rules cover this. “If a rule implies that the result of any calculation should be an integer, the result of the calculation is instead the result rounded towards 0.”
Still trying to modify a readonly, as Bucky implied. Also, you’re missing some capitalizations and the grammar is horrible (although that can be fixed by the enactor)
lilomar:
Profits have to be Integers. How do we round 1.2 or 1.8 times X when it doesn’t come out even?
