What is going on with this game?

Hannah was a returning player from old, whom I suspect was owed funds from many players who are still with us from that time period as she was a very generous player. I know several players on her return were returning borrowed items from her previous play time and sending her back payments.

Not everything is a mystery or something to poke sticks at and say 'Burn' :)

Have a great holiday and fear not I wont let the community kill the economy toooo much whilst your gone :)

If this is truly the case, how would you go about fixing it? I have suggested a few ideas to Coops of late about this but would require a entire re-write of the game and starting from scratch so not really options.

This one might be an interesting place to start.
An act to allow a drawback of the duties of customs on the exportation of tea or oil to any of his Majesty's colonies or plantations in America; to increase the deposit on bohea tea to be sold at the East India Company's sales; and to empower the commissioners of the treasury to grant licenses to the East India Company to export tea duty-free.

Yes I to have noticed NEW CHARACTERS flying past me in credits and such but I enjoy the game with the little niggles as in real life. I have found those who cheat or take advantage of loopholes do not enjoy the game like we who play the rules. They get to the top so quickly that they get bored and need to start again as someone new, again and again.......BOARING! (Yes the "A" stays.)
