It is the year 2060, there have been large technology advances made and people are inventing new things to try and make a fortune. In this game you have to invent something and see how well it sells, then you can choose to either: Invent something else or research your current invention to make it better.

Who decides how well it sells, and how do you sell it if you only have 4 other people, especially if they're all trying to sell their own thing? None of them are going to buy it because they want to sell what they invented, so who is buying?
Have a look at the old thread. Basically imaginary people, I guess.
