There's no legitimate, in-game reason not to let the PC make his millions in this scenario. Depending on how much money he started the gamble with, getting them might be difficult enough to warrant a few more runs, in which his player will be very involved because it's his interest at stake. When he does get the money, a lot of campaign possibilities will become available which were unthinkable to your average street scum, and which don't involve escalating levels of numeric power. If he does real well, you can then say he shares the responsibility for bringing Fuchi down. If he plays the market the other way around and does real well, you might say he shares the responsibility for keeping it up (a significant deviation).
I never said they couldn't start as rats and grow to become world shakers. This growth is very possible and very fun, and it doesn't have to involve inflating numbers. What I rallied against was the fact that many people don't think PCs should ever be more than rats. |

That's the problem with quoting any part of a post without the whole (especially when that part is "I agree"): you can never be sure intent is accurately translated. Sorry if I misconstrued you, Bira.
Although I would suggest there's a wide, wide spectrum between "rats" and "challenging Damien Knight (or [gasp] Lofwyr!) on his own turf" ;) On the plus side, it seems I didn't after all kill this topic ... completely. |

And then again, maybe I was wrong.
