Where to work if all clothing are broken and no money?

[amyodov]

There seems no be no place where you can work if you have no clothing. And you cannot buy clothing if you have no money. Catch-22...

Hi, when you forget to buy new clothes and they fall apart, you will receive money for clothes in the next round. One good strategy if you lose your clothes is to go home and relax. :)

That’s interesting; we just had a nasty game where one of the players forgot to buy the clothes and they indeed fell apart. By the time he realized it (and I am not quite sure it was the beginning of the _next_ round), he had no money, and was not accepted to any job. He spend several rounds having the debuffs of being unable to buy food, getting ill, missing the rent payment,... and after several rounds, 5 or so, indeed got the “gift”, with the comment something like “from the aunt to buy the clothes”. But it was a 5 (or so) rounds of penalty!

To me it seems it can be made a little bit more deadlock-safe. I would suggest one of the resolutions like these:
1. If, by the beginning of the round, the clothes fell apart and the user has no money to buy them, he gets “the gift from aunt” in the amount of something like “cheapest clothes price * 1.5”. Among the weekly gifts/steals, it is obviously one of the latest ones (so the aunt gift won’t be stolen by some pickpocket master). If, by the beginning of the NEXT round, the user still has neither clothes nor money for them (meaning that he spent the aunt gift for something else, like food), the aunt comes herself and gives him the basic clothing. Maybe even feeds him once!
2. Some job (but just one) could be no-clothes-friendly. Like the janitor on the market (it is not even the mall, nobody sees the janitor anyway). I would say, the market janitor can even get 1$ an hour less than other janitors, but still be no-proper-clothes-acceptable job.

Same thing happened to me. Forgot to buy clothes and had no money and ended up forced to spend the next 4 or 5 days just relaxing cause I couldn't do anything else.

I see. If everything would work fine, the aunt(arriving in the round after clothes got destroyed) should always give the user the money he needs for the clothes for the work he had at the moment he lost his clothes. We are now looking into this. Thanks for the suggestions! We will fix it as soon as possible!
Thank you so much for spending the time letting us now, sorry if it ruined the fun!
