Influences of the series

As in the case of the radio comedy programme I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again, and the television comedy programmes At Last the 1948 Show, Do Not Adjust Your Set and Broaden Your Mind, Twice a Fortnight was an excellent training ground, in both writing and acting, for the future stars of both Monty Python and The Goodies, as well as for the future co-writer of Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister.

gollark: 1. most players will have non-rare stuff more than rarer stuff2. said non-rare stuff does not end up suddenly becoming rare "because ratios".
gollark: Okay then, but it does seem a bit weird based on observations of stuff.
gollark: So, golds are set higher but other stuff is set the same but affected by ratios? I kind of doubt that.
gollark: Doesn't mean they'd be caveblockers or something.
gollark: The market probably runs on a combination of ratios and preset prices right now. This is just a guess though.
