You just bought a little store, nestled on some side street. You don't know much about how to run a business, but you feel like you might as well try! What's the worst that can happen, you go bankrupt and starve to death?

Well, uh, that could actually happen...

Not important! What's important is that you are finally Self-Employed. No one is gonna boss you around any more! Except customers, the IRS, suppliers, jeez, this doesn't look so awesome now.
So, this is a game about running a small business. I'm not gonna put up all the rules just yet, because I want to see you learn and react. Fill out these few forms, and off you go! (NOTE: Not trying to make up for my Roll to Work reboot dying. Nope. Also, STING isn't dead, I will update by next Saturday.)

This seems interesting. PTW for sure may I ask will it be one buisness in a suggestion game format or multiple buisnesses if multiple reserved if not PTW.

Does a small self owned science lab count as a small business?

I want to feed you to the sharks, good sir.  It's been a MONTH since we got an update at STING.

Eh, who am I kidding.  The game was fun, but if you do update it I want it to be good.

WHICH MEANS IT BETTER BE GOOD!!!!!

+1 for the not-unlikely chance that we might have to, ah, get someone out of the picture, while still not technically being illegal, yet still clearly shady.

First Day

7:00 AM

Well, this is it. It looks more like a shack then a store, but it's all you could afford. You've brought a small stash of fireworks with you, and you have your savings, about a thousand dollars, in case this doesn't work out. You open the door, and... it doesn't look that much better on the inside. The lights still work, somehow, but the whole place smells a little musty. Anyway, you have some decisions to make before people start showing up. There's an hours sign by the door, which reminded you that you need to set your hours, and what days the store is open. You also need to decide how much you sell your fireworks for. You checked around last night, and apparently the average prices are 5 for a little one, 10 for a medium one, and 20 for a big one. You expect that you have about 1 Hour (1 Turn) to do whatever you like before someone comes in.
