Welcome back news thread.

As per the thought experiment:

[quote]How would your character respond if they were to win a million dollars? What would they do with the money?[/quote]

My first question is: "Which character?"

In the case of my newest, Hugh McTrenkel it's most undoubtedly be donated out to the less fortunate of his community and would thereby probably cause a local economic collapse from the massive deflation of his world's equivalent of a dollar. At least in the area. This would then most likely facilitate them being forced to find a way to blow off the money to normalize things.

There'd be no real targeted way to use it. He'd just get rid of it on the spot.

As for the rest, most are under the governance of an alternate history Communist government in China so a million dollars would be an even greater source of shock than now, then great concern because the state would probably find out and find a way to seize it. Even from the other government officials. But a millions dollars would be a drop in a bucket for the state and would maybe go and feed a regiment active in Russia for a week. Provided of course the kids I'm running in a civilian story arch learn how to embezzle first, then they could probably figure something else out.
