1 10:35 <Kelvin> hah
   2 10:35 <Kelvin> i just thought of the most boring game ever (maybe)
   3 10:35 <Kelvin> sim central bank
   4 10:36 <Kelvin> you have one switch that either raises, lowers, or maintains the rate
   5 10:36 <Chris> hahahahahaha
   6 10:36 <Kelvin> of course the graphics are AWESOME
   7 10:36 <Kelvin> later you can upgrade to buying assets and t-bills
   8 10:36 <Chris> no no
   9 10:36 <Chris> it should just be one switch
  10 10:36 <Chris> and all you can do is crash the economy or make it function normally
  11 10:36 <Kelvin> haha
  12 10:37 <Chris> you could probably make it a mod for a sim game
  13 10:37 <Chris> SimCity with AI build mode
  14 10:37 <Chris> hahahahah
  15 10:37 <Chris> so good
  16 10:37 <Kelvin> haha
  17 10:37 <Kelvin> ridicurous
  18 10:37 <Kelvin> LOOK MA I'M ALAN GREENSPAN
  19 10:37 <Kelvin> +
  20 10:37 <Kelvin> +
  21 10:37 <Kelvin> +++
  22 10:37 <Kelvin> ++++
  23 10:37 <Kelvin> crash
  24 10:37 <Chris> ------------------
  25 10:37 <Kelvin> boohooohooohooo
  26 10:37 <Kelvin> existential crisis
  27 10:38 <Chris> simcity has riots and stuff too
  28 10:38 <Chris> it would be great
  29 10:38 <Kelvin> heh
  30 10:38 <Kelvin> chinstroke
  31 10:38 <Kelvin> simplest game ui ever, possibly
  32 10:38 <Chris> we need more jokes tho
  33 10:38 <Chris> that's not enough for a full game :)
  34 10:38 <Kelvin> hahaha
  35 10:39 <Kelvin> snicker
  36 10:39 <Chris> what else does the banker do
  37 10:39 <Kelvin> which, the central banker?
  38 10:39 <Chris> yeah
  39 10:39 <Chris> OH OH
  40 10:39 <Chris> i know!
  41 10:39 <Chris> when he crashes the economy
  42 10:39 <Chris> HIS HOUSE GETS BIGGER
  43 10:39 <Chris> until he has an INSANE MANSION
  44 10:39 <Kelvin> hahaha
  45 10:39 <Chris> that DWARFS the city
  46 10:39 <Kelvin> is it on an invisible island though?
  47 10:39 <Chris> hmm
  48 10:39 <Chris> no, it should be in the corner of the map :)
  49 10:40 <Chris> so that we can just mod the simcity engine, and the player can always see it
  50 10:40 <Kelvin> hah, ridicurous
  51 10:40 <Chris> if your house gets too big people notice and revolt
  52 10:40 <Kelvin> haha, even when there's an alien attacking your goddamn country, all you can do is + - + - - - + + +
  53 10:40 <Chris> hahahahahaha
  54 10:40 <Chris> that would be hilarious
  55 10:41 <Kelvin> ze interest rates -- zey do nothing!!!
  56 10:41 <Chris> i love this idea
  57 10:41 <Chris> and you can have a ticker of reports
  58 10:41 <Chris> telling you what's going on
  59 10:41 <Chris> a guy in a black suit with a secret service earpiece tells you things 
  60 10:41 <Chris> and it informs your + and -
  61 10:41 <Chris> "47% of phonecalls are discussing the size of your house"
  62 10:41 <Chris> -----
  63 10:42 <Kelvin> hahaha
  64 10:44 <Kelvin> keeping it simple makes it super satirical
  65 10:44 <Kelvin> just + and -
  66 10:44 <Kelvin> hahaha
  67 10:44 <Kelvin> you keep pressing + and all the buildings turn into abandoned condemned ashes
  68 10:45 <Kelvin> you press - and they all become skyscrapers
  69 10:45 <Kelvin> until eventually china bombs you
  70 11:02 <Kelvin> so, garry's mod has made over $3M since its release
  71 11:03 <Kelvin> how will SimCentralBank fare? :)
  72 11:04 <Chris> i have no idea
  73 11:05 <Chris> i think it depends on how funny it is
  74 11:05 <Chris> we probably have to have a briefing at first
  75 11:05 <Chris> "HELLO SIR"
  76 11:05 <Chris> "YOU HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY SELECTED TO BE THE CHAIR OF YOUR COUNTRY'S CENTRAL BANK"
  77 11:05 <Chris> and then he gets the induction talk
  78 11:05 <Chris> "THE ENTIRE ECONOMY IS CONTROLLED BY THIS ONE LEVER. PULL IT TO PUMP OUT MONEY. DON'T PULL IT ALL THE TIME OR THE PEOPLE WILL DROWN IN MONEY. DON'T PULL IT TOO INFREQUENTLY OR MONEY WILL DRY UP AND PEOPLE WILL KILL EACH OTHER FOR THE BILLS THAT ARE LEFT. YOU HAVE UNLIMITED MONEY. GOOD LUCK."
  79 11:05 <Chris> hahahah
  80 11:05 <Kelvin> hahaha
  81 11:05 <Kelvin> oh man
  82 11:06 <Chris> i'm laughing so hard at this
  83 11:06 <Chris> my face is totally red
