The ability to get a loan would be great, here is the example.
I am at max turf they need a but of cash to upgrade, I have a few mobsters around me that I think I could take on if I had the weapons. If I could borrow say 250m for say 1 week then have the bank take it back automatically then I could buy a top weapon and body armour for every member of my mob the. Take as many turf as I can in the week. At the end of the week I would have to pay back say 350m to the Loan shark. If I had capped enough turf then it would be worth it, if not then it wouldn't. U can't get a loan if you are in the red.

Certainly would put a weird spin on the game. Seems like it would be a punishment for elite players because they would constantly have to be rebuilding and defending noob attacks

And what if they don't pay it back?

It'll be automatic pay or with a decrease in attack or something. It's more likely to not be approached by anybody except people who had quit and returned.

Ok here is an example I am trying to cap a guy close to me. He has like 10 turf. I have crap weapons. In about 3 months I will have enough money to buy decent weapons for my mob and I will try to cap his turf, OR I could borrow 200m buy the weapons now( including upkeep) capture his turf in 2 days then pay back 300m in 2 weeks if I am minus cash then need to sell weapons to (and maybe turf ) to get back in green. This is life!

What if someone comes along and caps all the turf you capped, and caps half of your original turf? Suppose you are left with so little cash that selling all tour weapons and all your turf still isn't enough to pay back the loan?

Lets say you borrow 200M.

That will buy you 571 lapua rifles. Upkeep on the rifles for two weeks will be 67.

That's now 267m you have to come up with in two weeks.

Now let's assume the turf you cap is making max income-52k/hr.

You would need 42 turfs to make 267m in two weeks to pay back the loan.

And then there is the matter of the interest on the loan...

Then what happens??? I agree exactly with what CC has said but would like to add, whatnhappens when they can't pay the loan back? I know people go back into minuss but they do t get their money back in time then. It would only be fair if it resetted you if you didn't pay it back I think...with a decent interest rate.
