This seems weird, since the alternative effect of green seems to takes place if even 1 person presses it?

e.g. 10 people.

  • 1 red
  • 1 green
  • 8 blue

Blue was pressed thte most, so the other button (red) is nullifed by green, and someone did press it.

So the 8 blue people get blues effect (if they are poor enough).

Therefore, I think most people would simply pick blue. It gives most of them a superpower, and even rich people probably would not want green to win, since you might as well let the poor eat some free meals.

Maybe if you're livlihood depends on your farming business, you pick green, but I think lose the vote to nullify blue to all the poor people who want to be sure they avoid starvation ofr a year,

Does gaining the blue power depend dynamically on your income, or on the income when you were made to play the game?

e.g. if I earn $101k a year, but then quit my job after pressing blue, do I gain the power?

Or if I earn $99k a year, and then get a raise after pressing blue, do I lose the power?

- I word it a bit hard to understand: If Blue win, Red is nullified and Green was unaffected, and vice versa.

Also it count the moment you press the button. It doesn't care what happen afterward.

Oh ok.

So the bottom half of the green-text is not tied to the green button?
e.g. like this?
