[ A small team-coloured building awaits in front of you, ready for you to assume direct control! Can your business withstand the turbulent waters of capitalism? ]
You will start with TWO THOUSAND MONIES. Every day, there will be an informational NEWSPAPER, which will update you on the status of the world and major events in other factories, allowing you to adjust your own workings accordingly. You will then have the opportunity to spend money on a variety of options, and make IMPORTANT DECISIONS regarding the operation of your factory. As the game progresses, more decisions and options will be available, but at any time you may try anything you can think of using the OTHER option!
Every day, AT LEAST ONE EVENT will happen, but more are possible depending on the actions of other factories. The winners will be the ones with the most profitable factories.
No NEWSPAPER today. Instead, you must choose what this factory will be producing initially. This can be changed later on, or additional production can be added on, but it will be AT A COST.
Other options that can be taken this day:
HIRE WORKERS - $VARIABLE/day per worker, see below EXPAND FACTORY - add a type of production, $500 flat cost SECURITY MEASURES - add 1 level of security for $20/day per level SAFETY MEASURES - add 1 level of safety for $20/day per level INCREASE WAGES - increase the wage of workers by whatever amount you choose DECREASE WAGES - decrease the wage of workers by whatever amount you choose INDUSTRIAL SPIES - send agents to other factories, $15/day per agent sent BUILD RAILROAD - builds a railroad obv, flat $200 cost OTHER - do you want to do a thing not listed here? write it in and you'll be given a price
You must also ASSIGN WORKERS. Once assigned, workers will cost you MONIES PER DAY, which can be decreased or increased with the above options. All workers will improve profit, with advertisers, clerks, and craftsmen having the most direct effect, and administrators and miners being second by increasing efficiency. Security's effectiveness depends on how many SECURITY MEASURES you have taken.
The game's about profits. You wouldn't want to deprive people of medicine just to meet costs, right? Not to mention you don't know how she'll twist the game. She might set us up with some bad ingredients and we end up poisoning hundreds of people.
I think the best thing we can do is follow your namesake. If we spend most of our money on advertising to build up a brand we can sell a small amount of cheap items to rich idiots who think it's worth more than it is. No one gets hurt and we'll be giving poor people jobs. Sound good?
