A fun thing to do with Family and friends you live with

[Anonymous]

Here is how you can have some over-complicated fun with the people you live with every day (100% working 2020):

Requirements:

• Microsoft Office or Paint (I don’t have a mac, so use what you can there if you have one)
• A Printer compatible with the OS of choice
• People that just go with it (can be hard to spot, but family is always my top choice)
• A safe (Optional, but helpful)

Step 1: Go to Microsoft Word (Or paint, you pick) and design a couple of your own bank notes for whatever the values you choose;

Step 2: Print out the aforementioned notes and hand them out evenly through people.

Now, whenever you do a service for somebody or someone does a service for you, the person that receives the service will demand a certain value in your new made-up currency, which the receiving person shall give.

Since you came up and brought the whole thing into your friend circle, you will get to be the guy that manages the local bank (of your house). For this, you can use Microsoft Excel (if you know how to use the formulas and all of that) to also handle how much money each account has. Also, keep in mind the number of printed notes, as they will determine the supply of it so you can get the value of your currency based only on Supply and Demand. You can store it on the spreadsheet.

Now, let the currency flow as intended, making sure to secure the bank notes for your actual bank inside a safe if you have it. You can even make some money yourself by the banking service or any other services you may serve.

And that’s it! Theoretically, you should either:

1. Get people together with your bank idea while benefiting them for good actions; or
2. Get people so bored they stop becoming your friend to realize how much they depend on services that other people do to them.

Now go out and try this yourself! Be sure to also come up with a list of what everything costs for easier understanding. Optionally, you can make a PowerPoint presentation explaining how everything should work. You make the rules!

Additionally, you should lose your friends within 3-5 weeks of this Your friends will realize how overcomplicated you are, and with this method, you can show off how understanding of economics and the management of a made up currency you are, while everyone is having fun!

That’s it. Go try it out, and let me know how boringly well it goes!

P.S.: Microsoft, if you are reading, I just mentioned your entire Home office suite on this post that took me about 20 minutes to write. I expect to receive 50 Gab Coins in the mail by Sunday. Thank you!

UPDATE: So far it seems to work. There has been some talk about a patch for this, but I’ve personally tried it out myself and it is 100% Legal (provided you don’t distribute the currency which, how would you go about doing anyway?) and fun risk-free.

my teacher actually did something similar in my elementary class.

but we had a book where we would go around helping other teachers with stuff and they would type in what we did and then a signature. when the day was over we would give the books to him and the next day we would get the “money” and the books back.

stealing was allowed if you didn’t get cought so you can guess how I made myself rich.

some ppl actually started small little companies and had people come to them instead of they going around asking to help others.

it was really fun.

Really? That’s amazing! I wish my elementary class (or even any class) was something like that.

I’m kind of doing the same thing you described with the companies (As I’m the head local bank manager) and who knows? I Wonder if this concept could be turned into something you can actually buy and do if you’re bored…I Might think about that.

Here stealing is *kind of* allowed, but the thing is if you get caught, you get denied from using the currency and the services, so nobody has done it yet.

It’s going great so far! No thefts yet.
