In Victorian times, funeral parlors transported corpses in wicker coffins (baskets) because is was easy to rinse them out if anything . . . you know. A basket case is not a great thing to be.

I think he means the Basket Case Economy. In short, it's the MOST HORRIBLE AND WORST TYPE OF ECONOMY YOU CAN HAVE. Your NS people eat children to survive, they're so poor.

Basket case is the second worst economy next to imploded.
my economy is imploded because I dismantled it and gave the state complete control. not necissarily a bad thing just a different way of allocating scarce resources

It's funny, no one reads the stickies anymore. Not that they ever did. Maybe we should start sending them telegrams making sure they read the stickies if they want to post in the forums? It can be in the first telegram from the admins or something.

Believe you me, some people read the stickies. Particularly those who want to keep playing and not ticking off the moderators.
