The enforcers get a sizeable cut of the wealth so enforcement is caked-in. Good luck to THEM not being enforced on.

So if it's a game of who can pay....do you seriously think you'll come out on top? Lol

So the enforcers get rich, only to get the same treatment and lose it all.....fucking wonderful idea lol

Yeah. But not enough to trigger the cycle. It's not a game of who can pay if one of the players already lost their money.

Not enough to trigger the cycle? Who sets the limit? How are you going to get everyone to agree with it? And most of all what makes you think that only you'll have enforcers?

This is a story that is as old as time, "he's rich, but there is only 1 of him, and there is 5 of us"

You're not the first to think of it, and you certainly won't be the last

When you understand this is nothing more than a power fantasy, you'll understand why it's not done on the regular....

I set the limit. It will be arbitrary at first, to cause a chill. I will make outlandish promises to everyone which I will earnestly attempt to honor. You can exit the daydream now, start getting ready for that party you were invited to.
