Add a subrule to “Finance” called “Loans” which reads:
At any time, the Great Eccentric may give a Loan to a Contractor by increasing their Investment and Funds by X (where X is a positive integer no larger than 10) and including a comment in the GNDT to that effect.
I feel like there should be a little more money in circulation here, but I’m not sure.
There are better ways to do this.
As a note card, folks who invest billions of dollars into things aren’t giving loans: they’re buying part of the company. They aren’t charging a flat interest rate, they’re looking to take their share of the companies’ profits. This is their return, or return on investment.
Fair point. I didn’t really think this was the best to do it, but I had no better ideas.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

card:
While I like the idea of having loans and some way of making sure they’re paid back, this rule is clearly broken.
Not only does it make the Great Eccentric no longer impartial but it’s own restriction, no more than 10, can easily be sidestepped by simply giving them another loan right afterward. Also there’s no way to pay back the loan.
