(11-8-7) I Control The Economy.

[Vital Viper]

It is true you can ask RFS.

Well today in my Macroeconomics class RFS and I were goofing off in the back of class like we always do and missed most of what the lesson was about. So naturally when the teacher asks "who wants to play this game?" I'm the first to raise my hand. Reminder: I'm in college and my class has well over 50 people. So here I am in front of the entire class with every mouse movement I make showing up on a large projection screen behind me. The teacher than says "If he gets reelected than everyone gets 3 bonus points." The pressure was on. It didn't help that RFS was in the back yelling price is right jokes but it made the situation more fun. I managed to 'beat' the game and get reelected. After I had finished the teacher replied "Wow it took my last class three turns and they still didn't get reelected!" What can I say, I rock like that :P

If you want to try your hand at running the economy give it a shot:

I then said that since I made all the decisions I should get 5 points instead of 3 and he agreed, lol. See kids you don't have to pay attention in class you just have to have critical thinking ability and know how to bargain. That is sarcasm BTW :P Be cool stay in school!!!


I'm also sick today. Despite putting on my happy face all day at school I've felt miserable. On my drive home from school I could hardly keep the temp in my truck the way I wanted, and was feeling dizzy. I kinda feel bad about calling in from work but when you work in the food service industry they wouldn't even LET me come in like this if I wanted to. I hope I feel better by tomorrow because I'm on the schedule for the rest of this week.

Holy crap, that is too hard. Whatever i do inflation keeps rising, how do I beat it? College knowledge damage putty filled brain @_@

I made the inflation decline and the unemployment increase, It kept going farther and farther away from each other.

I couldn't get the inflation rate to rise, maybe in a couple of years I can beat it.... :rolleyes:

When you just start it be sure to read the stuff off to the left to know how to manipulate the economy. That number you change is only high or low in comparison with the inflation rate. The trick is to stablize the economy after the 'situation' they give you hits.

The trick is to keep both of those likes in between the two dotted ones.

I was sitting in the back acting like a Price is Right audience member holding up two fingers and shouting out "TWO" when he asked how much to adjust the interest rate. After he won I shouted out "WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN."

:D

Such an easy game for smart people like me.http://emoticons4u.com/cool/653.gifNah, that game is really hard. It didn't take me long to get the people mad at me.

[L3von]

I just pick any number on it and choose it, lol.

Got it on the third try. Not bad, but wouldn't win anyone any bonus points. Of course, I'm not in the class and I'm not in college.

Edit: So you are in classes with RFS? Did you guys know each other before you joined the forums?

I don't believe you, post a screen shot :P

Nope, we hated each other on the forum long before we ever met.

[Black Skully]

I was on a roll for the first three tries, but then that stupid inflation started rising. It's addicting and I'm going to keep trying until I beat it. If you can do it, I can too! =P
