One day, I spotted him thieving money from the bank, he denied it, I told everyone else, but they wouldn't believe it (the cheat was our father). After I first called him out, others started to keep a closer eye on his banking, it wasn't long until others spotted similar thefts taking place. We then banned him from being the banker, he tried playing us again, but he couldn't win anymore and quickly lost interest; he never played Monopoly with us again.

My point is, if we had just focused on our own game and hadn't examined and discussed the bigger picture, we'd have kept on losing no matter how good our gaming strategy was.

If we don't keep an eye on the Elite/Bankers and share information with each other about them, then the losers will either be us or our descendants.
