The only thing left is reading dry political analyses of various domestic and international things.

It is a sad state of affairs.

A good GM will be flexible as needed - the structure is there so that players really are on the same world (and not one where, say, one player thinks instant-million-man-armies are a thing while the other thinks superheroes are a thing).

do a chatroom political rp

as a sidenote: apparently there is some form of essay contest for ayn rand's books

wherein, if you read one of them and write an essay about it, you could win a thousand dollars

though it would be easy for one of my intellect and charisma to bs something complimentary about objectivism, it is my conscious choice as an individual to abstain, due to moral principles and also laziness

The ones I used to play in had government budgets and war plans and actual wars and posting by newspaper articles.

Don't read Ayn Rand.

I tried.

I failed.

Her prose sucks.

I didn't try to read Atlas Shrugged.

I tried The Fountainhead.

So no.

Yes I know that's missing the point of the question but nyeh.

You're not alone - I usually only lasted three game years each stint I was in (Venezuelan military dictatorship, Taiwan, New Jersey). My longest showing was Japan at the Meiji Restoration - most I did was send military observers to the American Civil War, stealing technology from China, and inwardly miff at the French colonizing Formosa.

Material happiness is hollow.

Having your needs met isn't quite the same as what "buy your happiness" implies though.

when you get too much money you become donald trump. then again he's able to run around screaming racist slogans at the top of his lungs and seems to be on the fast track to becoming president.

Once enough money is acquired you become James Pierpont Morgan.

And you don't want to be him.
