How did I started to wash cars based on the American Freemium Model?
This is an anecdote, separated a side about also joining a compo on this website... I thought to write it here, instead because I do not want to bother the flow of the team working on their games, having fun experience!
I am Jewish, and decided to start a car-wash based on the idea of the Micro-Transection American Model... People are not often glad to pay for a job, so they can have it also for free and the such... Very fun, not much "hassiduth", but very very enjoyable!
You see how they do it with "Pay to Win" games, they get you into an ugly starting point like in "Garden Scapes"... They give you a virtual garden, and a butler that will almost do anything for you so the garden would be pretty and clean... But sometimes there is a plot twist that holds you up from really advancing the game... You want to remove that ugly paint on the wall, these horrible crows in level 4 that feels like an infection... You want to buy a 3$ pin to dig them up as you are psychologically being provoked but it's not about just paying, you must advance levels so you can buy tools to win the round, and it can advance you a bit... Sometimes by luck, sometimes by knowing to use the premium you have purchased on the right time. So, there is my car-wash... I just do it. I go. I clean a car... Then moving to the next... You decide if you want to pay 20Nis, or to get it for free... But the shoes does not clean themselves, they do not buy themselves... If you would not pay, I could not afford shoes... I also give 20% of my earning to the poor needy people... These who like what I do, sometimes give double, even more... 50Nis, or 40Nis, That's Shekels... They give double for they are excited, that was a really dirty car. Then, come the lies... That suppressing angry person comes up and say in a snap: "Why are you doin' it"? It's like he ask if you hide somethin'... Like you have a hidden motive... He can then invite the police or tell you it's not really about doing it with good intention, it is for the sole purpose of making money... Sometimes after being provoked and not succeeding, they can report you for disturbing orders... Who send you? Who told you to clean that car, who is your boss? People just don't get things for free because it is too good. Ain't it sounds dark?
I live in an often dirty city. People throw trash on floor... You clean and it keeps coming... Your friends see you excited to clean, but comes and gently tell you that there is no real point for "You just remove the dust from one place to another", we already heard that... "The workers will anyway do so later, don't attempt, don't sweat, no point, it's just a fraction of a regular job"... "No one does it anyway besides you and won't will"... I am used to hear that...
Then is Judaism... You are forbidding my the Mikra Laws to do things like wearing several colors or acting in a certain way... People might look you in suspect when you do something, often slight by a codex of pretty insane rules and believes... You always wear the same hat, always walk in the same way... You cannot pose, it's to audacious... You cannot listen to Coldplay or William Orbit or play Sonic CD because it's a wild up "Goy" stuff... We are Jewish, we are inferior to them... We have our own simple ugly music, and if we suffer humiliation now, we get an afterlife... Don't make games, don't come into British Clickteam Convention because it's in a land of no God-fearing... I was aspired to visit such convention several years, but "God would not come with you if you go aboard the plain"...
But smoking? Drinking? That's just natural to a human, we all have weakness, the devoted said to me... So I am no longer a human... I felt I am less than that... A sub-human that is more close to a dragon...
They told me, A man have a family, men bring kids, marry a woman... You are no man but a demon-lizard thing if you do not marry a wife... It must be a Jewish believer though and an Israeli inherited... It does have reasonable sources for that, but...
