I wish I understood what your frame of reference is, because it sounds like a decent question. I’m just afraid that I don’t know anywhere near enough about your game. However, in a rational game and world, I would expect entrepreneurial enterprise to be generally successful (more often than not, that is) if planned well for the parameters of the game / market and if executed with a strict policy of exchanging value for value, and as honestly as possible, given the parameters and rules of the game. Sometimes cheating, robbing and pillaging works in the short time or in desperate straits, but I wouldn’t want that to be a standard modus operandi; I’d look for a new game. But maybe that’s just me.
