Welcome to the First Ever Battleground Murray Tontine Game!
You may ask, “What is a tontine?” Put simply, a tontine is an old-school pension scheme that combines the properties of an annuity, life insurance, and a lottery. This is how it works – each investor pays a sum into the tontine. The funds are then invested and each investor receives dividends for their lifetime. As each investor dies, his or her share is then divided among the surviving investors. This process continues until the last investor standing inherits the entire sum of the fund. The key to the treasure? Your token.
I understand that many of you are ambitious investors and will try to maximize your investment. Perhaps other participants may need to be “cashed-out” of the tontine so that your fortunes are realized? I leave it to you to determine how to best become the lone survivor and inherit the fortune of the tontine!
PLAYERS HOLDING THE TOKEN NOT ASKED FOR IT AT TIME OF KILL/SURRENDER MAY WILL IT TO ANOTHER ACTIVE PLAYER. PLAYERS WHO SURRENDER ARE STILL IN THE GAME AND CAN BE KILLED OR KILL TO TAKE A TOKEN.
DEAD PLAYERS ARE PERMANENTLY ELIMINATED.
