REPRESENTING: Prince Anduril, southpointchariot, Pavitra, flurie

Create a new rule entitled ‘Investment’ with the following text:

In today’s economy, it’s wise to invest your Stimulus Packages in the Free Market. As a weekly action, players may either ‘Buy In’ or ‘Sell Out’ their SP, but not both. Players may elect to ‘Buy In’ to one of the three Investment Bubbles: Currency, Commodities or Corporations. When a Player Buys Into an Investment Bubble, they pay 1SP for every player currently Bought In in that Investment Bubble. Players must record the Investment Bubble to which they have Bought In, in the GNDT column “Investment”. If at any time a Player has not Bought In to anything, then their Investment is set to ‘-’.

Players may choose to Sell Out their Investment at any time, as long as they have not yet Bought In or Sold Out this week. When a Player Sells Out their Investment, they receive back the number of SP equal to the number of other Players that are Invested in that Investment Bubble.

against  because the first investor to buy in to a bubble does so for free.  Also, Selling Out does not cause use you to lose your Investment.

Bucky, which is nice for those with 0SP, and would only be a one-off. You lose your investment when you sell out if you buy at the wrong time. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

oh right - I see what you mean about selling out. Good point. Worth a reproposal. Anyone else have further comments for the proposal to change?
