Details
The idea for this section is to list all those little thing that don't actually fit any other section.
Time cycle
The game works in time cycles. One time cycle is one week, starting on sunday at midnight (that it when sunday turns to monday). This mean that for example mission
events update weekly, balance chacking is done weekly, etc. There are several mentions to time cycles all around this site.
Game Over
There is a possibility for Game Over situation or perma-death. It's extremely rare and it requires the player to do some pretty stupid things, but it's possible.
The only way it can happen, is by running out of money. Your balance can go to negative, not intetionally, but there are few things that can cause this. One
possibility for this is by fines, if you get a 10000cr fine and you only have 5000cr, your balance goes to -5000cr. This is nothing to worry yet, but at the end
of every time cycle, the game checks the player that have negative balance and if they have any assets, the game sells the to get the balance back to positive.
Think of this as expropriation. If the assets aren't enough, the player characters body is sold for medical testing, thus resulting in termination of that
character. Other possibility to get negative balance is by taking a loan, but more of that below. One more notice on perma-death: If your account has multiple
characters and one of them get perma-death, the game adds the amount got from the player body to the terminated characters balance and if it still remains negative
one of the other characters on same account must pay the remaining amount. This is to prevent exploitation of this system.
Loans
Find yourself in a sticky situation? No money, No car, No weapons. Well, no problem, you can always take out a loan. Due to the difficult economical situations,
loans do have a quite nastu interest, 10-40%, depending on loan time and amount. Idea is that you can take out loan at any time and when you take it, you are also
given time when it must be repaid. Let's get another example to make thing clearer:
Player takes out loan of 10000 cr on tuesday, the repay time is one cycle. Now, altough one time cycle is 1 week, it's actually from sunday to sunday, so the
repay timer starts the next time time cycle changes. So, in reality the player has almost 2 weeks to gather the money. The loan interest is 20% so the player
must have 12000cr available on the repay date. When the repay time comes, the money is automatically taken from the players account and after that comes the normal
checking of balance, if it's negative, expropriation of assets and possible perma-death.
Luckily, players have economy window, which automatically calculates their loans and shows how much they must repay and when. It also gives the espropriation value
of players assets.
