Talking to Players: Talking to other players during
the game is an easy, fun way to interact while playing DollarBay.
To do this, just click in the text box located in the middle of the
screen, type your message, and everyone in the room will be able to
read it in a speech balloon. This is sometimes useful when asking
others how the shoppers are acting, and what they are buying the most
of. Also, it is an easy way to let others know that you are logged
on, so they can come to your store and interact with you.

Talking to Agents: While playing the game, every so
often an agent will enter your store and ask you how things are going.
An agent includes characters such as the beat cop and fire inspector.
A window will pop up and you may respond with a variety of different
answers. One such response would be to report a crime in your neighborhood.
There are many different ways to respond to these agents, which you
will occasionally see while playing DollarBay
