PLEASE IGNORE THESE RULES JUST YET... JUST PLAYING WITH THE GAME RULES FOR 2018 GAME

Bank Accounts Each player will have a Bank Account with which they can spend money to invest in movies. Each player will be given starting dollars when they join to begin investing. The value is adjusted each year as appropriate. Start dollars (2017) = 80m As a bonus for continuing players (from previous year), on the 31st January of the following year, for every 50m you have in your Bank Account in the previous year, you will receive an additional 1m to spend in the following year (2018) To invest in a movie, you must have the amount you are investing available in your bank account at the time the investment is made. All the money you earn from your investments will be put into your bank account for you to spend further. If you no longer have enough money to continue with the game, you can claim bankruptcy and your account will automatically be reset and you will start all over with the Current Start Dollars in your bank account. (all previous investments no longer count)

Current Investment Rules with sections crossed out (for 2018 game) Investment Rules Players can choose to only invest in part or all of a films budget. Players can invest in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the budget. I will also allow investments of 25% and 75%. Players will receive the % of the earnings from the film based upon which % invested in the film. Eg. invested 20%, you will receive 20% of the earnings. You cannot invest in the same film for than a total of more than 100%. (If you invest 100% of the film’s budget, you can not invest in the film a second time.) All films will have 300% available for the first 24 hours (This is the absolute max allowed in the game). The max % available (ABSOLUTE) for ALL films will be 300%. If max investments (ie. no one has invested) is made in the first 24 hours then a film will only have 200% available thereafter. If an investment is made in first 24 hours, but total investments are less than 200% then only films which I have IDENTIFIED prior to being available as films which keep 300% keep the 300% max. ALL other films will reduce to 200% max automatically. If more than 200% investments are made in the first 24 hours, the max % available will remain at 300%. If no investment is made by 2 weeks prior to Release, then max investment will reduce to 100% and the budget is then 75% of the original/final budget. If no investment is made by 1 week prior to Release, then the FINAL budget will be 50% of the original/final budget. If more than 200% investments are made in the first 24 hours, the max % available will remain at 300%. If more than 300% investments are made in the first 12 hours, the following will apply: Each player will receive a reduced amount of investment as per the following: Last investor is reduced by 10%. 2nd last is reduced by 10% and last reduced by an additional 10% 3rd, 2nd, and last all reduced by 10% (in addition to above) and so on and so on until the amount is reduced enough such that it adds up to 300%. (if it gets all the way to the first investor then it restarts at the last investor again) using the above manner, we keep a way of letting players who miss the investment time a chance to invest but also still prioritises first in best dressed which there is always an element of in this game. (I have removed the whole bidding process which I have felt detracted from the gameplay this year) Each player will automatically receive a pro rated % based upon the number of investments. This is calculated as: New max % per player (for this calculation and u will understand in a minute) = 300 / # of investors in film eg. If you original invested 80% and 6 players in total invested you would 80% of 60 or 48% of the film. Now assuming we have investments less than 100% for each investor, a Bidding process will be kicked off by posting your offer on the additional % you missed out on and the amount you are willing to pay. Remember you can only go back up to the original % invested in. The best offers will get the % and if there is any left over it will be returned to the game. To make this clear, I will only accept your first post and you cannot edit it (I am admin here so i can see your edits cheaters!) eg. the following investments are made in the first 12 hours for a 200m budgeted film: (which means 2m/%) Invest 1 = 100%; Invest 2 = 80%; Invest 3 = 40%; Invest 4 = 50%; Invest 5 = 100% I review sometime later in the day and note investment total of 370%. Total Investers in film = 5 so Investment max is 60%. Each investor now will get : Invest 1 = 60%; Invest 2 = 48%; Invest 3 = 24%; Invest 4 = 30%; Invest 5 = 60% A total of 222% is invested in the film leaving a further 78% for investment in the film. BID WAR is started and the following bids are posted: Investor 1 = +40% ~ 120m (3m/%) Investor 3 = +16% ~ 50m (3.125m/%) Investor 5 = +40% ~ 130m (3.25m/%) No other bids are made (i put a 24 hour limit on the bidding process) which means, Investor 5 gets 40% (as the highest bidder) for 130m and Investor 3 gets 16% for 50m and then Investor as the lowest bidder gets the remaining 22% for 66m. overall this means the new breakdown is: Investor 1 = 82% (186m); Investor 2 = 48% (96m); Investor 3 = 40% (98m); Investor 4 = 30% (60m); Investor 5 = 100% (250m) REMEMBER IF NO-ONE BIDS OR ONLY BIDS ON PART OF THE REMAINING, WHATEVER REMAINS AFTER 24 HOURS IS RETURNED TO THE GAME FOR NORMAL INVESTMENTS. AND IT WILL BE BEST IN BEST DRESSED AT THAT POINT. A film is released irrelevant of how much % is invested in total even if only 20% was invested, the film is still released. If you have chosen to invest and decide to cancel ALL or part of your investment (keeping within the normal rules above), the following WILL apply: > 2 Weeks prior to release - 100% of the cancelled amount is returned > 1 Week prior to release - 50% of the cancelled amount is returned < 1 Week prior to release - Nothing will be returned at this point so you should just keep your investment. You can also choose to sell all or part of your investment (following the same rules as above for investments) Once the movie is released you cannot sell your investment The Sale can be in the form of money or swapping for other investments. The amount is up to you - there are no limits and only need to be agreed between all parties involved. Sales involving money will count towards your earnings for the year. If at time of release an on-sold investment has a budget change, then this change will be reflected in the current owners budget. eg. Investor B bought the movie investment worth 40m of investor A for 60m. The budget then increased to 50m. Investor B's final budget equals 70m as a result because investor B paid a premium of 20m to investor A for the investment

The next weekly question is an interesting one... the dailies could tell a tale (as could the theatre counts.. so much to watch on this one) Week 7: December 1st Weekend: - Will Daddy's home have a larger weekend drop than Bad Moms? unlocking in 3, 2, 1....
