What? No! You can't do that! You may not have any clue how you came to be the Prime President of New Zealand, but damned if you're going to lose the job and the nation's prestige just for some money.

Besides, North Franceland's offer was just pitiful. Insulting, even.

You have no idea. It doesn't help that they seem to change the rules radically every year. You're pretty much hoping that the team knows and you can let them do their own thing and then take credit for it.

GreyGabe Wrote:>Find out how much a rugby team costs and how much money you have. These both seem pretty important.

Oh, right! Let's see... Your team has fifteen players, each of whom has a salary of $10,000 a game. And how much do you have in your budget?

...Three sticks of chewing gum, a rubber band, and a broken gyrocopter.

You may need a new funding plan.

Wait, wait. What was that last part again?

Robbing a bank? Yes! That would solve your financial problems. And you're pretty sure that as Prime President, you can pardon yourself and your accomplices and nobody's going to care as long as you win the game.

Well, you guess you'd better go and meet the team and see which of them can help you with the heist. You head over to the stadium where they're practicing...

Or rather, where they're supposed to be practicing. But they're just sitting around doing nothing! You yell at them and demand to know why they're just lounging around, because you sure as hell aren't paying them to.

(Or anything at this point, but you diplomatically don't mention that.)

The team captain explains that they've lost the ball and can't find it. So they're pretty much stuck, because you only gave them one ball. You could maybe give them the budget for extras, he says.

AgentBlue Wrote:>Find the ball.

Well, you're not going to stand for that. No, you're going to find the damn rugby ball for them, even if you have no idea what it looks like or where to start your search...

Hmm. This could be a problem. What are you going to do?
