Your team runs a company. You list services, ask for quotes, place orders, deliver, get paid — and sometimes end up in a dispute. Ordinary business, with one difference: every consequential act carries a signature, and the whole game can be re-checked afterwards by someone who trusts none of the players.
Team members propose and consolidate; then the CEO signs the decision in the browser. A decision without the signature is refused by the server, not by good manners.
List what you sell, request quotes, compare offers. Placing an order moves the price into escrow — the seller is paid when you accept the delivery, not before.
Reject a delivery and the money freezes. File a dispute and an independent arbiter rules it: nobody can judge a case they are a party to. The ruling, the money movement and the closure all land in the same signed record.
Every act — including every refused attempt — is written into a hash-chained journal. History is never rewritten; a mistake is recorded, not erased.
Your facilitator opens the game, registers the teams and hands each CEO their signing key. No key, no decisions — that is the point.
Open the team console, pick your team, load the CEO key. All references — orders, offers, cases — are generated for you. You never invent identifiers.
Propose → consolidate → sign → trade, and watch the scoreboard. Stuck? Use “Something confusing? Tell us” — your confusion is recorded as evidence too, and it improves the game.
No. Vang is a synthetic bookkeeping unit inside the game — it has no value anywhere else and is not a token or a currency. What is real is the accounting: the books must balance after every single move, and they do.
Because the door checked something and it did not hold — a duplicate reference, an order without a signed CEO decision, an offer after the window closed. A refusal is not an error page: it is a recorded, attested event that names its reason. In this game, being told “no” loudly is a feature you can quote later.
The journal records game acts and hashes, and the scoreboard shows standings. The design principle: Referenced ≠ Verified — the record proves that something was said and who signed it, which is exactly what makes it checkable by someone who trusts nobody.
Placing an order reserves the price from your operating balance. Accept the delivery and it settles to the seller. Reject it and it freezes — no one touches it until an arbiter rules. Money never moves on anyone's say-so alone.
No. Recusal is enforced by code, not by politeness: a seat whose federation is a party to the case is refused the ruling — loudly, in the record. In an earlier run this rule froze 15% of all money in the game rather than allow a self-judged dispute. It was the correct outcome.
Advisory only. “Ask our AI” gives a recommendation with its reasoning and its confidence — and the record marks it advisory, never binding. The CEO signs, a human rules disputes. The interesting question the game asks is whether the advice was any good — and that becomes measurable, because it is all recorded.
Tell your facilitator — keys are handed out at registration and can be re-issued for your team. What nobody can do is sign as you in the meantime: no key, no signature, no decision. That inconvenience is the security working.
Please do. Duplicate orders, spending past your mandate, ruling your own dispute, editing history — every attempt ends the same way: a signed refusal in the journal with your name on it. That trail is not surveillance; it is the product.
