| Improve Office Security |
|
Hi Boss! I have a knack for security and I think we could really do with some security upgrades in our office. I have done some research and I think with an investment of 50K we would be a lot safer than we're now. What do you say? |

| Women in Technology | Hi Boss! A friend of mine is greatly involved in an organization which aims to get more women into technology. They are looking for a sponsor and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for us.

| Nigerian scam 1 |
|
Dear esteemed sir/madame. I'm financial advisor to CEO at WOMOBA OIL LIMITED in Nigeria. I'm writing because I know of your high repute and trustworthiness. Our CEO has authorzied me to invest 2.5M in %Company Name%. We have deposited the amount at a safe bank and will transfer this money to you but the bank requires confirmation from you. If you wish to receive the funds you must transfer a one-time verification payment of 120K. I trust in you.
(Note: This message is intentionally riddled with random grammar mistakes.) (Note: The company name is also mistaken. example: if company name is "computron" it would be "copmurton". Proof: http://prntscr.com/43oz87) |

| Patch required |
|
Oh no! It seems that %latest game% had quite a few undiscovered bugs when we released it.
Some of our customers are having a bad time with this and they demand that we patch the game. We could either spend the money and time to patch it or ignore their pleas. If you want to patch the game then click/touch on a character and use the action menu to develop a patch but make sure that you don't wait for too long. Cost is : 10,000 + (5-20 % of %latest game% total development cost) You immediately lose 10-30% of fans gained with that title. |
(Net loss of 5-15% of fans gained on last title) |

Air conditioner |
|
Boss, it's way too hot in our office and the heat is starting to impact on our work. I've researched and found an air conditioner which would be perfect for us. It costs 90K. Should we order it?
If declined once, after random number of weeks: Boss, the heat is becoming a serious problem. Just yesterday my mouse melted and my keyboard is covered in sweat. Not a good environment to work in. We really need an air conditioner. Unfortunately the previous offer has expired and we would need to pay 180K. Should we order it? If declined again, after random number of weeks: Boss, We've had enough and ordered the air conditioner ourselves. Thanks for nothing. |

| Solar panels from EPA |
|
I am an employee of the Environmental Protection Agency and have an offer for you. Your company has a high electrical footprint right now. If you would install solar panels you could decrease your footprint and save money in the long run. We would sponsor 50% of the costs which brings your investment to 200K! Would you like to install it? |

Boss, someone seems to have stolen our credit card information and used it to buy a lot of things in the past three months. Unfortunately we have lost (7% of total cash? - needs confirmation) | -7% of total cash | |
| Piracy (Not cracked version) |
|
Boss, it seems that quite a few players use illegal copies of %Game Title%. I've managed to identify some of them. We could either sue them to defend our copyright or send them warnings to ask them to stop. What do you want to do? |
|
|
| Technology upgrade |
|
Boss, we should invest some money into new office equipment. We lose a lot of time working with our old PCs. |
|
Will ask again if you take down the offer |
| Move to Technology park |
|
I've seen the perfect building for our new headquarters. It's not cheap but will us allow to grow even further. The new office also has space for additional expansions. Do you want to move? |

| Internal coding contest | Boss, I think we could stage an internal coding contest! I think we could all learn a lot by doing this. As an incentive, we would need a prize for the winner (90K). We agreed that the prize would go to charity. Should we do it? |

| Legal Department | We have just received a letter from a company named 'All Your IP Belongs To Us' and they say that our engine %engine% is infringing on one of thief patients. They 'graciously offer a license of their patent for %~55x the original cost of the patent% and are willing to give us a 50% discount if we just pay and not face them in court. We can just pay and he they do not bother us again or we can refuse and face them in court to try and resolve this in front of courts. Alternatively we might be able to rally our fans and publicly fight them | How would you like to pressed? (Note: it is a bit rare for this to happen) | Gain 2000-40000 fans
