If you love making money, having a team to vote for trophies, achievement with your name splashing across the server, this might just be the game for you.
Be A Tycoon or BAT is growing in number of players. Other than the Mafia War game found in Face book, BAT is one of the more popular games where people get together to make money and gain achievements.
To play this game, you need a create a Face book account. Then key in this address http://apps.facebook.com/beatycoon/ and enter the game and you reach the start up screen.
Start Up Screen
You may click on Welcome! Quick Start and FAQ at the start up screen to learn this game. Occasionally i receive free surprise item from the creator of BAT. As shown above, i just have to click "Open Gift Box Now" to receive this mysterious gift. It will be stored in the "priceless" tab and would not counted as a slot used.
The main objective of this game is to get rich. You will be competing with many players all around the world and many of them started earlier than you. If you click on "my empire", you can see tycoon since (date) and you will know how long he has played BAT. Click on the link below to see a quick start of BAT.
We start BAT as a Millionaire with 1 million dollar to spend. Sound like a lot of money but the fact is everyone start this game with 1 million dollar. Now what do we do with 1 million dollar? We invest in items and make profit! I will show you how to make quick money.
Click "buy" tab to invest your money
TIMER
Every 20 minutes, prices of items will be updated. You can see the timer on the top right side of the page (Price Update In). Under the Consumer tab, you will see gourmet restaurant and chopper shop. The price fluctuate between 1 million and 2 million. For example, gourmet restaurant is at 1 million now. Click "Buy" and click 1 as you can only buy 1 gourmet restaurant. with 1 million dollar. After you are done, wait for next update.
Notice that your net worth increases from 1 million to 2 million? This is because the value of your gourmet restaurant increases from 1 million to 2 million. Click on My Empire tab and sell your gourmet restaurant. Now click "Buy" to buy Chopper shop. This time you can buy 2 Chopper shop at 1 million each. Therefore by next update you should have 4 million net worth! Sound easy?
At this rate, you will earn millions or billions soon i.e 1 become 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16 -> 32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 -> 512 and so on. Wishful thinking. BAT only allows us to buy 5 items of the same kind and we have a maximum of 60 slots to fill our items. Plan your purchase carefully. Do not overflow your slots with rares (we cover that later) and in the end you have not many slots to buy items to make real decent profit!
Sooner or later, you have to explore other items to make profit. You will get hungrier to earn more money every update. Your rank (we cover that below later) will increase as you earn more money. 2 items that are similar with gourmet restaurant and chopper shop are found in Exotic tab - bugatti veyron and race horse.
Tycoon Tracker
Tycoon Tracker is a very powerful and useful tool which BAT players use to assist them make the correct decision in buying or shorting - http://apps.facebook.com/tycoontracker . This application found in face book tells you what to buy or what to short. Short is just the opposite of buy - you will earn money when the item fall in price. Short option is only be available when you reach Oligarchs ranking.
Remember the top example? Now you can buy the item at 1 million while you short the other item at 2 million. At the next update, you will earn money from both side! However, Tycoon Tracker still has some bugs, thus it is better to seek mentors which i will cover below and learn from them.
TYCOON RANK
Tycoon ranking are updated every 4 hour. The ranking net worth are indicated below.
1. Millionaire ( 1,000,000 - 99,000,000)
2. Centurians ( 100,000,000 - 999,000,000)
3. Billionaires ( 1,000,000,000 - 49,999,000,000)
4. Oligarchs ( 50,000,000,000 - 999,999,000,000)
5. Trillionaires (1,000,000,000,000 - 49,999,999,000,000)
6. Titans ( 50,000,000,000,000 - 499,999,999,000,000)
7. Colossus (500,000,000,000,000 - 999,999,999,000,000)
-> About 40 Collossus at the moment
8. Quadrillionaire -> 5 Quadrillionaire in the game only
9. Magnate -> None at the moment
MENTOR / CARTEL
To play this game successfully and learn a lot quicker, i would recommend you to search for experience players and seek their advises. You may do so by joining a cartel.
A cartel is a group of parties, factions, or nations united in a common cause, mainly for communication and cornering markets to win cartel trophies (i will cover cornering markets later) .
Currently, the top cartel is **Inspiration**. Their total networth is 16,756,000,595,000,000 with 91 members thus making them an average of 181,131,874,000,000 (Titan rank).
Remember when i mention there are 5 Quadrillionaire?
2 of them are in **Inspiration**!
Currently there are 2 baby **Inspiration** Cartel, namely **Inspiration #2 **and ** Inspiration #3 **.
The objectives for these 2 baby cartel is to guide players who are clueless about this game and share with them tips and strategy to gain money fast. Once they reach to a certain networth, they can apply to join **Inspiration**.
You are a celebrity for joining a cartel
Tips from guru. You will never walk alone.
Someone commented in the cartel forum
Each cartel has its own forum. Player can use this forum to communicate and share their tips and thoughts. Alternatively, you may wish to visit the lounge to communicate with everyone in the game. If a player post a comment after you have posted, you will receive a notification on the bottom right hand side. The owner of the cartel has the greatest access and he/she can give admin access to active players who will help him/her to manage the cartel. Members can post their questions in the forum and experience players can help them out. I have receive many tips such as the one above and i just follow them to make more money.
Notice a forum post call CTM? It stands for Cornering The Market. This event is one of the main attraction for BAT as it allows members to work together and achieve trophies and make more money.
TT / HRT /ST
One day your name might flash above for everyone to see
Another attraction for this game is player has the opportunity to have their name flash across the globe and everyone playing can see it. This can be done when you hit either Top Tycoon, or
High Risk Tycoon or Super Tycoon.
To do this successfully, you need CEO points. BAT has just upgraded its application to a newer version. You can either earn 5 CEO points every few hours by visiting your empire, or you can receive gifts from players earn CEO points.
Gifts
Gifts available to send to friends
You can click "Send Gifts" to give your friends surprise present. There are 3 main categories of gifts to choose from - tycoon money, shareholders or ceo points. If you do not know what your friends want, just send them the best CEO gift.
Some of the gifts i receive from friends
There is a limit of 5 gifts that you can open each day. Choose the gifts which you need and open them. After opening 5 gifts, you need to wait for 24 hour before you can open another 5 more.
Rare / VIP items
Are the rares really rare?
Personally, i do not collect rare as i find it waste of slots (only 60 slots max). However there are many collectors out there who would purchase rare at high price. Click "Rare Auctions" to purchase some rares if you like.
So many VIP items to choose from
VIP items are one of my favorite. It gives you the flexibility to earn money (interests) while you are away for a holiday or when you are unable to play BAT often. To buy a VIP item, you need to obtain the required number of shareholders. Shareholders can be earn through gifts and you can receive gifts from other players.
Cornering The Market (CTM)
One of the important reason why i join a cartel is to vote and corner items and win more money. Every 40 hours, this team effort event will reset and everyone start with 20 votes. Every 4 hours, you need to log in to receive 10 votes. The maximum amount of votes 1 player can collect is 110. Grab as much votes as you can to corner the item successfully.
Your CTM leader will assign you where to place your vote. Other cartel may vote on the same item as you. If your cartel total votes is more than what the other cartel voted, you will corner the item and win its bounty and trophy (if your cartel met the requirement below).
Bronze - Corner the item 1 time successfully.
Silver - Corner the item 10 times successfully.
Gold - Corner the item 50 times successfully.
Example of recent CTM result:
You earned $75,348,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $85,461,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $101,384,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $96,037,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $43,602,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $115,283,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $81,739,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $76,155,000,000 for Cornering XXX
You earned $91,198,000,000 for Cornering XXX
That is $766,207,000,000 profit in 40 hours!
