hmm. I do like the fact that it gives incentives to people to make the machine more complicated and the parts interconnected.

But..

It makes making an infinite loop valuable. Also it causes an infinite loop of sorts in the rules. Every time the machine runs you get the ability to increase your net worth. Every time you change a GDNT tracked value (like net worth) the machine runs.

Also it seems like it might cause workers to get too much money, compared to Management.

per Enderbean

I did think about perhaps the company would also get a bonus, or perhaps the management would get it (a company bonus that gets paid out. Everyone wants a piece of the pie…

What would be a way to make it less ‘infinite loopy’?

include in the updating the wages something about it not setting off the machine probably?

Or require the person running the machine to update the GDNT. Required changes to the gamestate by other rules get taken care of by step one of the machine in action, and won’t trigger the machine to start up. Since its already running :)

Oh and if you don’t want it to give an incentive for loops in the machine, you can make it so that they only make money on it once per time the machine runs.

In light of your comment about management getting a piece of the pie with a different rule I think I like this proposal :)

How about I redo this…

you have to vote NO, not IMP, to self kill

I know, but I was trying to get that $1 for not nay saying {:0)
I gotta self-kill to make a third go at this though.
