Things I've learned playing Dope Wars:
- Cash in the bank does very little good. Better to take less profit
percentage-wise if your overall payoff is better than having that
money in the bank.
- If you're playing for big scores from anomalous events (drug bust,
IPO, etc), inventory cost doesn't matter. Let the debt accumulate
and don't wait for cheaper costs.
- The strategy for big payoffs is completely different from the
strategy for sustainable business.
- Be in the right place at the right time, you look like a genius.
In the wrong place, the loan shark breaks your legs. Either way,
if you're playing for that big score, beyond the basics it's luck
when you make it.
- In the real world, the SEC prevents anyone
from breaking your legs.
Along those lines, Hornswoggled looks at Krispy Kreme donuts relative to the new economy.

c'mon Dan put down the palm for a minute. The windows keyboard won't burn your hands on contact. Try playing Tropico & The Sims for a bit more insight. As for the SEC I think getting your legs broken would be pleasant compared to the SEC anal probe investigation.
I must have worked for a company whose entire demographic was Angry Scotsmen With Hip Dysplasia.
Hey! other than disparaging my highland brothers, it's a pretty good read. Laddy can ya hand me my walking stick, ah thats bonnie good. I would say that it's a fair bet that Krispy Kreme will out live Bea. So is Krispy Kreme the old New ecconomy or the New New ecconomy or just the old ecconomy?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
