That's the second time in this discussion that you've proposed paying money for an advantage over others in this not-even-released game. May I ask why you're so eager to win at this particular game?
That's the most personal question you could possibly ask me. And there's your answer: business.
Why? Why not just let this be an educational and fun game? Why ruin the spirit of it by turning it into an opportunity for something to exploit (yes, I know, that word has very negative connotations) for profit?
I suspect that you might be taking this (again, not-even-released) game a bit too seriously :)
Screeps is a lifestyle
So selling game scripts so others can advance faster? Or perhaps getting ready to harvest resources to sell them later? Or something completely different?
