Mini-Game FUN! :D Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

We need a mini-game

Heres my proposal. Please post in this thread. Its very important. We must be glorious. Please. Thanks. I love you

Its quite simple. Everyone gets 10 Energy Credits and invest it in a makeup capitalistic company.

Capitalist?! How dare I say such a thing! However, there is an eduational purpose....It will teach us how to feel greed and how to fight it!

Continuing on....Everyone is free to make up a company. Well, these companies will be displayed in an official thread and will have the founders name by it (Example: TASSADAR INDUSTRIES, TSDR, TASSADAR. COMPUTERS UNLIMITED, UPUU, FRANKYCHAN, etc). Expect I wont be elidgable to play. Unless someone else is chosen to be the gamemaster.
Anyway, the advantage is that if you INVEST in a company ins tead of creating one, you get slightly more money. If a company has two investors (FOUNDER and a regular investor), then instead of them getting z amount of ECs, you get z*1.5 ECs. If there are three investors, it goes up to z*2 ECs. For four, its z*2.5 ECs. So theres a possible scenario (Note: Your results may vary. If this idea is accepted, that is):

quote:

(Today, two companies are founded and one of them gets an investor)
JAMSKI founds HIVE INDUSTRIES. (HI) Remaining balance: 0EC
GOOGLIE FOUNDS THE GOOGLIAN CORPERATION (TGC). Remaining balance: 0EC
FRANKYCHAN invests 10 ENERGY CREDITS into TGC.
GAME BEGINS.

---DAY 1---(And the profits begin to come in!)
HIVE INDUSTRIES has found a mine deposit and makes generous gains! +10 ECs.

GOOGLIAN CORP has found a mine deposit and makes generous gains! +10*1.5 TO EACH INVESTOR!!!! (AKA, each investor gets 15 ECs. Without it, each would only get ten.)

---DAY 2---(The Boom continues!)
HIVE INDUSTRIES has no news to report. +2 ECs to each investor.

GOOGLIAN CORP has no news to report. +2*1.5 (AKA, 3 ECs per investor).

---DAY 3---(And now the downside of investing is shown!!!)
HIVE INDUSTRIES has caught GOOGLIAN CORP in an espionage scandal and has a market RALLY!!!! +30 ECs!!!!

GOOGLIAN CORP has been caught in an espionage scandal. Though its creator denies any involvement, its sent PLUMMETING!!! -10*1.5 LOSSES TO EACH INVESTOR!!!! (AKA, everyone loses 15 ECs).


When a company is founded, it has a NET WORTH 3 times its the amount intially invested. So a company that starts with 10 ECs is worth 30 ECs. Then for each additional investor comes half of the investors worth (ALL THEIR ECs divided by 2). If a company goes into debt....It better do something about it If its net worth goes down to 0, it dies.
Which is why its a very good strategy to become rich, invest in a rival company, and then when their about to soar above you.....pull out completly, because then their NET WORTH goes down AND it causes them to automatically take a dive that can last several days. While it probably wouldn't destroy the company, it would SERIOUSLY damage them And if enough players got together......They could bring down a company.

At first this was going to be a hive only game, but I thought that expanded populations (even by a LITTLE bit ) could help out a lot more. A lot of kinks do need to be ironed out, but....what do you think?

I'll post another, more realistic example scenario soon.

Edit:
quote:
(ALL THEIR ECs divided by 2).


Maybe it should be all ECs they have invested? Divided by two? EDIT2: Or maybe MULTIPLIED by 2, which would make investors that much more important......

Re: Mini-Game FUN! :D Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Oh yes, a few more instructions. For now, it would be simply to attain more ECs and prestiege, but in the future it might be able to be CASHED IN for something special But I dont want to go that far.

Also, I noticed I didnt explain how any of this happens. Of course, theres a GAME MASTER who creates all the random events Or we could use some abstract roll of the dice thing, OR we could RP it.....Most of this game would require RPing which is why i created it

ALSO....If anyone has comments, suggestions, or ideas for this game or any, just post

Sounds like an interesting idea, though Comrade Chairman Voltaire may not like your continuing evil capitalistic tendancies.

As the Hive's Minister of Scientific Knowledge, I fully endorse Comrade Tassadar's experiment to show the evils of capitalism.

As such, I'm forming "Static Universal Widgets" as the first company in the simulation.

We are currently seeking capitalist dogs and aging widows to invest their 10 energy credits with us.

It's merely an experiment to show how quickly capitalism can make an individual evil.

I have to drive Jamski out of business. He's sucking up all the investment money.

I need a rules clarification. Something about this seems very unfair.

But that's capitalism for you, I guess.
