Enact a new rule, “The Loan Sharks”, with the following text:-
Any Seller can request a loan buy 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 X 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 ____”, 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 X and increasing the profit of the Seller whom the Loan was from by 2X (2 multiplied by X), and then removing the corresponding text string from their name in the GNDT.
My mean way of letting Sprucial back into the game.
“Neither the Broker, nor any Seller may perform any action that would change a Seller’s Profit to be less than -50.”
Alice and Bob each have $0. They loan $50 to each other, so they still have $0 but are $50 in debt to each other. They then pay off that debt, ending up with $50 each. They then do this again with $100 loans, obtaining a shared victory.
