(from here)
Thank you all for coming to this efficiency meeting. I know you all are a bit worried about the recent merge between our companies, but don’t worry, Goldberg Technologies has job openings for everyone, and we aren’t going to be having any cutbacks, or stuff like that. In fact, we at GT are big fans of giving equal oppurtunity for advancement, and are looking for a new Vice President in charge of the firm. Of course, it all depends on how good of work you do for each job, We’ll be periodically giving you new assignments to see how well you can handle the changes, and I expect to see each of you doing your part.
Now, for the assignment, we’ve got to get a fully functional Goldberg device up and running that satisfies the customer’s request.

Proposals of Interest
- (This list of significant dynastic events is currently incomplete.)
- Every worker’s dream, take 2 Contained both a victory condition (accumulating enough money) and an intentional loophole that would allow Bucky to gain infinite money.
Ascension
Bucky achieved victory by reaching $500:-
- In order to achieve victory, I took advantage of the fact that giving away money causes the machine to run twice (once when I lose the money and once when someone else gains it). Also, since I receive a generous $10 for each running of the machine and there is no limit to how little I can give away to make it run, I can turn a large profit from giving away a small amount. There is also no limit to how frequently I can do this. I did it 100 times in order to give myself a $1500 buffer against any procedural complaints.
Commentary
By the end, I was the only one playing the Goldberg Machine subgame. Even without the scam, I was the only one receiving Patent income, and any future pieces would not trigger because HALT would have higher priority and stop the machine first.-Bucky 01:03, 7 Jan 2011 (GMT)
