Reply #9: the bush factor [View All]

[radfringe]

I have a couple of computer games Civilization and others which are similar.

Every so often, I get a bit bored with the game, it's at a point where it's obvious I'm going to win but I don't feel like starting a new game.

I have a "brazillion bucks" in the treasury, control 80-90% of the territories, sufficient resources, a happy population, no war on the horizon, making scientific and cultural advances - everything is running nice and smooth. Just basically have to hit a button or click on something for a few turns to "officially" win the game.

One day I decided to try something different - I applied the bush factor. Cut taxes, strangled the science/cultural budgets, started a war, and borrowed money like crazy -- I managed to totally destroy my "country" within an hour of play
