Proposal: X C

In the Bank’s description, substitute “C/2 + X” for “C + X/2”

We’re still in an auction dynasty: if you bid, you should pay (there shouldn’t be a complete refund over C).
X is the number of other Players who Directed at least one Credit to the Bank that Cycle and C is the number of Credits the Player who Influenced The Bank Directed at The Bank that Cycle.

Personally, I think it should just be c+x

I don’t know if C/2+X is enough, but I’m not comfortable with a complete refund of the directed credits.

actually, very good point. however, the issue this makes it a bad idea to try to earn income off of - you’re just enriching someone else. If you’re not guaranteed to get your direction back, is the bank really worth it?

It’s a gamble, as it should be.  for

Directing to the Bank only gives .5 Credit to the Player who will Influence it. If we want it to be a gamble, we could replace C/2 + X with Y/2 for instance, where Y would be the total amount of credits directed to the bank by other players.
But I think it was so before and we changed it to C + X/2.

It was actually Y/5 before, but people felt that it was overpowered.
