The massive wave of mergers in G1 have resulted in the game
being ruled by a few major megacorps: The Revelstone Breweries

   Gold:                         163,572  2nd

So what's a measley 25 gold?

So why am I posting this? Because I'm in 2nd place,
and now I'm 25 gold closer to first!



As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set
aside a few minutes each day.  At the end of the year, you'll
have a couple of days saved up.
