  • GD Interest Rates

    From apam@21:1/125 to ALL on Tue Sep 12 12:57:16 2017
    Hey,

    So I discovered interest rates are infact still broken. Looks like I was actually giving .01% interest instead of .1% and also there was a display
    error with negative interest.

    Also currently the only insentive to pay back your loan is that it will
    keep getting bigger due to interest and will negativly impact your score.
    I was thinking there could be some repossesion happening, but the more I
    think about it, Australia is billions of dollars in debt and no one has
    come collecting yet.

    I was wondering why I wasn't actually getting any interest...

    Perhaps after taking out the loan, the game could take payments each turn.

    Either that, or you could make it like real life, and let other players buy
    the loan. Kinda like what has been happening in the US. If you turn the US over, there is a 'Owned by China' tag on it... ;)

    That sounds very similar to the way my bank handles interest... :/

    Sounds also a lot like how the Govt. handles the National Debt... it just
    keeps getting bigger and bigger...
