About this model

"Create a game economy model for 'StockBaller,' a sports finance simulation. The primary currency is 'Play Credits.' 1. Initial State: Create a central Pool named 'User Wallet' with an initial value of 10,000. 2. Income Sources (Faucets): Create a Source named 'Weekly Dividends' that adds a variable amount (average 50-200 credits) to the User Wallet every turn. Create a Source named 'Capital Gains' representing stock price increases. This should be a stochastic node with a 40% chance to increase the User Wallet by 5-20% and a 30% chance to decrease it by 5-15% (representing market volatility). 3. Transaction Sinks (Trading Friction): Create a Converter named 'Buy Transaction.' For every credit moved from the Wallet into the 'Athlete Assets' pool, drain 1.5% as a 'Buy Fee.' Create a Converter named 'Sell Transaction.' For every credit moved from 'Athlete Assets' back to the 'User Wallet,' drain 5.5% (representing a 3.5% Sell Fee + 2% Bid-Ask Spread). 4. Competitive Sinks (The Rake): Create a Loop named 'Contests.' Users spend 500 credits to enter. 85% of the total pool is returned to a 'Winners Pool,' while 15% is sent to a Drain named 'System Burn' (15% Contest Rake). 5. Maintenance Sink (The Whale Tax): Add a condition: If 'User Wallet' 50,000, trigger a Drain named 'Maintenance Fee' that removes 0.5% of the balance every turn. Goal: The model should demonstrate a sustainable paper-money economy where the Sinks prevent hyper-inflation even when Capital Gains are high."
