The World Simulation Club operates on a dynamic simulation economy, where every action, upgrade, and decision comes with associated costs and potential rewards. This system ensures strategic depth and personalized progression for each Exec. **COSTS** Each Action, Gear purchase, Trait upgrade, or Support Staff hire may carry a cost in one or more of the following forms: - **DeciCreds (DC):** The main currency earned from participation and success. - **Energy Units:** Represent personal stamina or effort; consumed during intense activities. - **Trait Deductions:** Some choices may reduce specific trait values temporarily. - **Reputation Penalties:** Missteps may reduce influence within certain Societies or Locations. **REWARDS** Successful actions and thoughtful planning can yield generous rewards: - **XP (Experience Points):** Used to level up and unlock advanced abilities or scenarios. - **DeciCreds (DC):** Spendable currency for purchasing Gear, hiring Staff, or entering premium Sims. - **Badges:** Earned by meeting specific performance criteria; badges may provide bonuses. - **Affinity Gains:** Increase alignment with specific Societies, improving influence or unlocking restricted content. - **Title Upgrades:** Certain high-achieving players may earn honorary or elite titles, displayed across the network. **MULTIPLIERS AND MODIFIERS** Outcomes are influenced by: - **Trait Multipliers** (how strong your positive traits are for a given task) - **Negative Trait Penalties** (how much your flaws weigh you down) - **Level Bonuses** (higher Exec levels increase all base rewards) - **Combo Synergies** (specific Gear + Staff + Action alignments can produce bonus outcomes) Strategize your investments wisely. Success in the World Simulation Club is earned through a careful balance of risk, preparation, and timing.
