I spent _way_ too much time on this game in the morning. So silly

Yeah, currently thinking about how to prevent this from getting exploited without changing the simulation too much.

The root cause is in the model: investors only cared about the debt level, not the deficit path. So a 30 % deficit was basically free until debt got too high.

I'm working on a fix: bond markets now price in where your debt is heading, not just where it is. Run a huge deficit and borrowing gets expensive right away, for the state and for the economy, just like the UK bond market after the Truss mini-budget. Normal stimulus stays unaffected.

It's still being balanced so it doesn't break other strategies. It'll go live after the challenge.

Thanks so much, this is exactly the kind of feedback that makes the game better.
