    You forgot step 5: once you have won, change the rules so nobody else can play anymore

        Eh, you’re still on time. Wait (checks papers) no, sorry you aren’t. They just changed the rules.

          It’s okay, I’ll live.

          Wait no, I just checked the rules, none of us will. Oh well.

          Carpe diem baby! :-D

              Okay (1) FUCK YEAH, but also (5) did you just change the rules there - are you a billionaire? Or just (d) viva la vida loca:-P.

                I’m sure the moment I were to become a billionaire people would finally pull out the guillotines.

                  Nah. Except yeah, probably. People aren’t great at handling subtleties - e.g. “tax the wealth” becomes “kill the billionaires”, as if the taxation part wasn’t the point, or the fact that actual trillionaires exist is somehow not relevant, etc. It’s easier to shoehorn facts into what people already want to do:-P.
