— — INVESTMENT AND DONATION — —
In this competition, you must invest and donate your money for 7 rounds, attempting to obtain the MAJOR shareholder label, while avoiding the MISER label.
Each player will begin the game with $150, given to them in the following banknote increments:
- 10 x $1 banknotes
- 10 x $5 banknotes
- 4 x $10 banknotes
- 1 x $50 banknotes
NOTE: This money cannot be divided into change. That means, you must only play amounts allowed by the banknotes you have available.
When each round begins, you may INVEST and DONATE any amount of your bank notes, specifically noting WHICH notes you are using each time. You may choose to only Invest or only Donate in one round, or you may choose to Invest AND Donate in the same round. You can even choose NOT to Invest or Donate at all in a round and keep all your money.
At the end of each round, the total amount invested and donated in that round will be revealed, however each player’s individual investments and donations are NOT revealed.
Instead we will just reveal the player that invested the MOST and the player that donated the LEAST that round, without disclosing their amounts. The highest investor in each round will receive a MAJOR shareholder label, and the lowest donator in each round will receive a MISER label.
There are rules in the event of a tie for labels each round. If multiple players INVESTED the most money in a round, NONE of them will receive a MAJOR label – the player(s) who donated the 2nd biggest amount receives it instead. However, if multiple players DONATED the least money, they will ALL receive a MISER label.
The only player immune from receiving the MISER label in each round is the player who wins the MAJOR label. In this instance, if there are no other tied players for lowest, the player who donated the 2nd lowest amount will receive it instead.
After all 7 rounds, the player with the highest score after their MISER labels are deducted from their MAJOR labels will win Immunity.
In the event of a tie, the player with the most MAJOR labels alone wins the tie. If still tied, then the player who donated the most money in total wins.
