If you get down to full-on Mad Max level, money is no use- everything's barter. You get a little more complex, though, and instead of swapping a cuisinart blade for two hours of battery time and two hours of battery time for a pair of sunglasses, you end up using something inherently worthless as intermediate currency. Gold is a good choice- it is small, portable, pretty, hard to fake [although the bitemarks would probably tend to add up] and it's not much good for anything else.

Then the next thing you know people are standardizing it and stamping something into it so you know it's good and you don't have to bite it, and bam we're back to gold coins.

If not immediately, then eventually. After all, you're probably the only one smart enough to have useable currency around in your neighborhood and someone will take notice that you're the only one who can buy food.

But there are people who play this game for fun and expect to be able to use the Market as it was intended, as a way to exchange goods. Please take that into account when you consider doing particularly ebil things.

I was amused the market managed to correct a gigantic mistake I'd made, that's all. I've always advocated leaving stuff up in perpetuity unless you need the slots, this was the penultimate example why.

and hi everyone!
