Notes from Ferdy - The Executive Game

by Ferdinand T Cat

We now have a new Flash game on our Fun and Games page. In The Executive Game, you play the role of a manager who is presented with a series of transactions. For each one, you must decide whether to buy and re-sell an item or ignore it and hope for a better chance. To help you decide, you have five assistants who will each guess at the profit or loss from the sale.

Many times I have stated that wild guesses can sometimes look like genius. In particular, whenever something goes wrong in a Republican administration, somebody will pull out a memo predicting what would happen. The problem, of course, is that before disaster strikes, you have no real way to separate the crackpots from the experts.

The Executive Game provides an interactive demonstration of this principle. If you do reasonably well playing the game in Normal mode, you'll be presented with a randomly-selected punishment for your success that may have a familiar echo from our recent history.

Please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

No sane individual invented this game. (Hi, Bruce!) I think I developed an ulcer in the past few minutes. I made good scores but I decided I never want to be a manager—of course no one with any sense would hire me for one.

This is clearly part of Ferdy’s plan to dominate the world by turning our minds into jello!

I’m onto you, Ferdy, you diabolical little furball!
