I'm afraid Kit that you may have to start again, using the new rules. I don't know where you got these rules from, but I'm assuming that you've already played a game with these rules. TT then uses these original rules for any new games, until you change them. In algebra (?) If you played a game with 'x' rules, then any future games will be played with them also, rather than having 'y' rules (where y stands for the correct rules) About your query on the loan then i mean �500,000. This becomes $1,000,000. The game handles this by doubling all costs from the � option. If you don't want to start again, fine. But it will make things harder for yourself, as everyone else will only have 1 competitor Eddie Ankit Desai <ankit...@att.net> wrote in message news:37c88a59.100367484@netnews.worldnet.att.net... > The max loan amount should be fixed, not a "#". �500,000 is equal to > $1,000,000 so, which one is it?
