So I had 2 billion:

And spent it all on prestige:



Then I had a bit over 4 million prestige:

Wow. Talk about a giant... ummm, I would say "waste of Influence," but it's not like any of that was unintentional. Now I don't know what to call it.


Also, was there any kinda point to that? It's not like you can really take that "money" out of circulation. It doesn't actually circulate in any traditional sense anyway. I mean, new "money" is minted constantly.

Yes new money constantly appears but at the same time existing money is also constantly being destroyed (primarily by market fees). Similarly IOs are constantly being created and destroyed (or rather slotted which is close enough to destroyed for our purposes). For the most part the two are relatively in balance (with a trend towards inflation) with the per capita money supply (and IO supply) being relatively constant (baring the occasional exploit). So this sort of thing does decrease the per capita money supply although not necessarily in a meaningful way.

The money DOES circulate. Buy something, 90% of that money goes into someone else's pocket. That person buys something, 81% of the original goes into someone else's pocket. Market fees make one influence generated into something like 12 influence spent.

Turn it into prestige and it's GONE. Boom, headshot.

Santorican got 100 million inf matched. Who else wants some, yo?

Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
