[C]-Control Event - Invest Wisely

THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER. Congratulations to our winners! See list below.

[C]-Control releases on BD/DVD Combo at the end of the month, and to get you ready we’ve got a fun little web event for you to enjoy. As a side bonus, it’s also a great little economics lesson and you might learn a thing or two. Quick disclaimer though, we are not responsible for any losses you sustain if you decide to apply your newfound skills to real world investing…

Anyways, here are the rules: You are a new Entrepreneur (or an Entré for short) with the chance to invest in three Assets featured in [C] Control. Invest wisely and you may win a prize!

Each round, you will have ten packets of ¥100,000 each (totaling ¥1,000,000) to divide among three Assets however you choose. Assets gain power to attack when you fund them money, and at the end of each round, the Asset that received the most funding from all Entrés wins. Depending on the amount of money you invest in the winning Asset, you will receive entries into a drawing for prizes. However, investment is high-risk, high-reward-- the more money you invest in the winning Asset, the greater your shot at the prize.

  • For every ¥200,000 (called a microflation) you invest in a single Asset, you receive 1 entry
  • For every ¥500,000 (mezzoflation), you receive 3 entries
  • For every ¥1,000,000 (macroflation), you receive 10 entries

Now, for the part you all care about—the prizes!



Event will start on Monday, October 22. There will be five investment rounds total-- one per day until Friday, October 26.
  • Three winners each round receive a [C] Control postcard, a replica Midas credit card from the show, and Midas Money.
  • One winner each round receives a [C] Control postcard, replica Midas credit card, Midas Money, and a [C] Control poster autographed by J. Michael Tatum, voice of Soichiro Mikuni from the show.

Finally, one winner who has participated in all five rounds of the contest and accumulated the most total entries will receive a huge ultimate prize pack, featuring other anime about money and alternate worlds! This includes:

  • Spice and Wolf Complete Series BD/DVD
  • Spice and Wolf poster
  • Eden of the East Complete Series DVD
  • Eden of the East Movie 1 & 2 BD/DVD
  • Eden of the East Saki keychain
  • Summer Wars DVD

If you hit just 2 out of five attempts at a macroflation, that's a total of 20 entries. A conservative approach will yield no more than 15. This is an easy decision. GO MACRO.

Good luck everyone!

@jennifuu
Lol, thanks. I did the math right after I asked and came to the same conclusion. Feel rather silly, actually. Mostly because it was right in my face and rather obvious.

Kinda like the Steins; Gate competition. Answer right in my face and I didn't see it.

Wow, this seems like a fun and very interactive event!
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot! ^_^

@Natesage: There is that flexibility, but note that the number of entries you receive correspond to the 2-5-10 option. For example, if you invest 900,000 yen, you get 5 entries: 3 for the 500,000 mezzoflation investment and 2 for the two 200,000 microflation investments. Arithmetic!

(Of course, at that point, might as well invest all 1,000,000, since that leftover 100,000 won't get you any entries...)

Whoa, hold up. Survey gives options of doing investments at different levels then stated. So, is it just a 2-5-10 investment option, or the flexibility of what we see in the survey?

Awesome idea.
