Actually I didn't lose anything, I kept caps in Redding bank and withdrawed as soon as I heard
people have problems in other towns.

And in newbie tent it's not really safe either, because someone can easly follow them from grid ;)

Part of your caps in bank (as it provides interest rate? - not sure) and part of it somewhere else (tent).

I find it funny that such thread has been spawned now. Especially, that you wouldn't had a chance to see if "crisis" from previous session will happen again. With your way of thinking, i can yell around every map and board that sneakers are overpowered and should be nerfed soon - anyone remember Sniper Hunting Blues in NCR about year/two ago? Hey, it happened once, so it's going to be like that again! Me has proofz!1one. Even if we wouldn't touch banking system at all, we have about year to make changes; that's +- when it was becoming clear that crisis will happen - and it did, few months later player saw it with their own binoculars.

But such thread so early is just a crappy way to scare newcomers. You have no idea if it will happen again (and it may, i'm not saying that it won't, it was actually pretty interesting to watch). You have no idea if/how it's changed. You have no idea do we have updates prepared to be applied in the right time. I would fully understand such thread in at least month or two, but for now...

solid snake:
op "put all your caps in your tent all you new players so i can follow you there and rape you!"

They sure do. But the original poster has rights too, for example the right to tell them that they're posting in a wrong thread. Or maybe he doesn't? I'm getting confused here...

The bottom line is that if you put your money into a container in your tent, it's up to you to make sure nobody takes it away. If you deposit your money in a bank, there's nothing you can do to prevent it from being rendered largely inaccessible to you at any given point in time for no apparent reason.

What you are saying is 100% true in the sense that I am no fortune teller. I do, however, recognize a pattern when I see one. I can see that the interest rates are back. I can remember what they led to the last session. I can remember what they led to in the last CBT. I do not know whether or not the problem will arise again. It might well be that it won't. It might well be that I have just prevented it from arising. It might just as well be that I actually caused it again by starting this very thread, thankfully only on a tiny scale, since there's not too much money around yet.

Whatever the future has in store for us, the keyword is preparedness. This topic's sole aim is to merely inform new players of a possibility of something very, very bad that might happen if they take no precautions against it when they still can. I certainly wish someone had started a similar one before the first bank run occurred.
