Litigation

■ Overview of Litigation

• Litigation is a large-scale feature open to all users on the server.

• Aside from the Plaintiff and Defendant companies, all other users can choose to support either side.

  • The side that accumulates the most points by the end is declared the winner.

■ How Litigation Works

§ Initiating a Lawsuit

• CEOs who have reached Level 20 in the Legal Department can initiate litigation against listed companies.

• 1 Litigation Ticket will be consumed upon initiating a lawsuit.

• A minimum investment of 1 million Gold is required.

• The Legal Stat of the initiating CEO determines the efficiency of Gold-to-point conversion and the Victory Fee rate.

§ Litigation Progress

• Once initiated, the litigation remains open for 2 hours.

• All players on the server can join either the Attacking (Plaintiff) or Defending (Defendant) side.

• The Plaintiff can only invest Gold into their own team, and the Defendant likewise can only support their side.

§ Litigation Rules

• Gold invested by CEOs is converted into points and contributed to their chosen team according to the formula below:

• Point Formula = Invested Gold × (1 + Legal Stat of Representing Company × 0.01%)

• The team (Plaintiff or Defendant) with the higher total points at the end wins.

§ Results and Reward Collection

After the lawsuit ends:

• The winning side will receive a reward distributed proportionally based on their investment share, excluding the victory fee from the total Gold staked in the litigation.

• The higher the Legal Stat of the plaintiff company, the lower the victory fee, resulting in greater returns.

• After the lawsuit ends, the defendant company will enter a cooldown period, during which details and results can be viewed in the litigation interface.

• If the reward is not claimed within 2 hours, it will be delivered via in-game mail.

§ Caution

• During litigation, only the number of participants and short cheer messages from each team are visible.

• More cheer messages will be shown depending on the number of team members. The actual point total of each team is not revealed.

• Thus, psychological warfare must be waged using limited information such as the Legal Stat and participant count of the plaintiff and defendant.

§ Litigation’s Effect on Stock Price

• Depending on the outcome and scale of the lawsuit, the defendant company’s stock price may rise or fall.

• Even if you don’t participate directly in the litigation, predicting stock price fluctuations is key to forming investment strategies.
