Welcome to Ponzi World! You are now an investment bank manager, and you are tasked with making as much money as possible! 🤑
But, the stock market just crashed and you've lost a fortune. Your investors aren't going to be happy. 😬 Once you tell them about this crash, they'll withdraw all their investments and your bank will go bust 📉 If only there was some way of, uh, 'bending' the truth a bit?
This is a daily multiplayer game (very much still in early development) where players are encouraged to create their own Ponzi schemes and scam each other out of as much money as possible!
The basic idea is:
- Once per day you log in and manage your investments.
- Each day, many other players will also log in and manage their own investments.
- Some of those players will invest in your bank.
- You will be asked how much money you made yesterday. Thanks to your crooked accountant, telling the truth is optional!
- If you tell the truth, your bank might not look very promising to investors, so they won't invest much.
- If you lie too much, people might become suspicious and you could get reported, fined, and maybe even shut down completely!
