Another five for miners and craftsmen and another three for advertisers? We could also do, oh what's the word...propaganda? Say how good our weapons are for the people to keep themselves safe?

Re: DISCUSSION

[notsuperman]

The advertisers would take care of that, right? Seems like their job.

...Is there anything else we should invest in? I wonder whether land or research would give us anything.

[lifehacker]

Research for bigger, better guns. Like, SMGs and RPGs. Maybe the Manhattan Project.

[notsuperman]

...The Manhattan Project was the atomic bomb. Little more intense than a gun.

[lifehacker]

Hey, it's war.

[untamedwing]

isn't a bomb more likely to incinerate bodies?

[lifehacker]

I didn't say do EXACTLY THAT.

But SMGs are pretty cool.

[untamedwing]

What is an SMG?

[lifehacker]

Sub-machine gun. Fast, awesome, effective.

[untamedwing]

...

Would you use a casket for the body it leaves behind?

[lifehacker]

Yeah, it doesn't annihilate them.

[untamedwing]

Hmm.

[notsuperman]

And fancier guns will probably net us better profits...so it's worth a shot.

[fightorflight]

I don't want to work for them.

[notsuperman]

...You don't like guns, Tora?

[fightorflight]

No. The people who want to take our money away for their war. I don't want to.

[notsuperman]

Oh, that.

Maybe it'll make them happy if we offer to sell our guns to them at reduced prices? That way, we at least get something out of it and don't just give away our money.

[fightorflight]

Mmm. We'd still make money.

[notsuperman]

Yeah. That's the thing to focus on.

[untamedwing]

It would be a risk. We're not guaranteed a technological advancement.

[notsuperman]

We have to take some risks, though...if we just sit on our money, that won't help us win.

[untamedwing]

With the current set up, if the numbers hold steady, we're making about a two-fifty profit. If we don't get something, then we're out about two-fifty.

[notsuperman]

Do you think that'll be enough to beat other teams, though?

[untamedwing]

From how things are set up, it's Rose Designs who most likely got a large grant from the government. It doesn't seem likely others got such an opportunity. We may already be ahead, so we shouldn't take big risks.

Especially when there's likely only a few days left at best.

[notsuperman]

The question is whether we're judged on overall profit or just our gains, though, since governmental grants seem to only contribute to the former.
