Playing according to the rules will lead to the most boring of outcomes. Players will earn money, but who cares? Money makes you a "winner" but…you can't do anything with the money, and the game will soon become pretty dull. On the other hand, playing poorly will lead to some of the more interesting game elements. Your Metapet will become a lot more colorful and rebellious, artists' mini games (in which I had other artists design simple little games about biotechnology) will show up, and your pet starts sending messages back and forth to other Metapets.
