What happens once you run out of money? Can you no longer type anything
and thus obsolete your current character? Or perhaps you automatically
gain tiny amounts of money over time, so that eventually you could get
enough money back to type another command? (Obviously abusable if so, I
could just log on and sit there while money slowly collects into a huge
fortune, at which point I could blaze away with a million inputs.)
