Economic Stimulus Experiment: The Guinea Pigs & More
Major Lee Hung
I'll be sending out the monies today. We'll hopefully see what kind of an impact this can have on the treasury and the wider economy.
Participants: 27
For now, it will run for 11 days. The current 'wage' is 100GBP per day. That's 1,100GBP per member who takes part across the 11 day period, or 29,700GBP to cover them all. 2,970GBP will go to the treasury as a direct result of this experiment. The rest will be re-circulated around the eEconomy.
Pay Schedule
Those who selected DAILY (16): You'll hopefully recieve your money every day. If I got too busy, you'll receive missed pay in lieu the next day. If I get really lazy I'll just pay you whatever is outstanding for the whole thing.
WEEKLY (
😎: You'll receive 700GBP in 7 days from now. 4 more days from that date (on the 31st) you'll receive the other 400GBP.
ALL IN ONE SUM (3): You'll receive 1,100GBP in one sum either right at the end, or any day where I feel the eUK's war has heated up enough for you to require it that day.
Some stats:
Because I can't be bothered working it out, I won't be giving the exact percentages just yet.
Anyway, most of the participants are above level 30. Most plan to spend their money on Q7 tanks, a few on food, and a few on wages. Nearly all selected Military for their play style, with one new player, one political and three economical.
Last Words
Have fun with the money! I'll be releasing a few articles over time to track the progress of this. Hopefully we see a nice effect on the economy.

Looking forward to it!
This could be interesting
yey!
free money ^_______^
FREEEEEE MONEEEEYYYYYYYY
I'll be buying Q5 foodstuffs!
giving money to high level military players is good for our damage output but I think it would be better used giving newbs money to invest in self sufficiency. great project though, will be interested in the results of the experiment.
Unfortunately only a few low level players volunteered.
I volunteered but my name is not in the list.
@Elvis, maybe those that are partaking in the scheme can donate it to the NHS after Josh as ran his experiment.
Alpha did you fill in the form?
