The Cista pyramids are the fair and predictable pyramid scheme, where the money is redistributed among participants and not taken by the organiser in one sweep at the end. Pyramid #1, Pyramid #2.
What is the Rooster Version? The Rooster Version - better known as the Chicken Version - has a more forgiving algorithm than the first pyramids. Here I have added a buffer layer between your layer and the upper layers, and in the buffer layer the money is kept idle instead of leaving the pyramid. What this means for you is that you are always guaranteed two-hirds of your money refunded in case you do not win (see below). The catch is that to get isk doubled, you have to wait for two layers to fill after your own.
How the pyramid works. Each ticket costs 1 million isk. Each layer is roughly twice the size of the layer above it, starting with 10 tickets in the first layer. There is no limit to number of tickets you buy. Your win comes when two layers below yours have been filled. Your win will be 2 million isk per ticket. Schematic of the working pyramid.
How the pyramid ends The pyramid will close when no new tickets have been sold for 5 days, or when no layer has been filled for 10 days. At the time of closing there will be players from 2-2-+ layers that have bought tickets and not gotten a win yet, and these are the GÇ£losersGÇ¥. All the money that came from tickets sold in the last two layers is pooled and returned, so that these win-less players will share their loss. The money returned will be at least 67%, and in theory could be over 80% of the cost of your tickets. Schematic of the closing pyramid.
How does Cista2 make money on this? I make the growth rate of layers slightly larger than doubling (10-20-45-100 etc). As more layers are added, this will provide the organiser a nice percentage profit along the way. I will take no percentage of the closing payout. In other words, I do not make money by ending this game, but by maintaining and repeating it succesfully.
Credentials Earlier uncollateralised projects - 265 bn isk have been paid out. Feel free to make a copy of the rules.

Current layer: Layer 1 Size is 10 tickets. 1 million isk per ticket - send isk to Cista2 now. Buy as many tickets as you want - you can buy into the next layer also.
Important! I will fill the layers in order of isk received to the Cista2 account, not in order of posts! If you are anxious about getting into a specific layer, mark your isk transfer with GÇ£Only layer 3GÇ¥ or similar, and I will return your isk immediately if they did not get into layer 3.
Size of upcoming layers: 20, 45, 100, 200, 450, 1000, 2000, 4500 etc

My favourite part is where your alts are at the top of the pyramid.

My favorite part is where I woke up at 3am to find this little gem and managed to make the top tier after having missed out on the first 2 pyramids.

It's not a scam (or so I hope).
It would be one if Cista2 would break her own rules and take all the money and run or if she would put her alts on top even though other players somehow got wind of the scheme earlier and and sent her the money faster than her own alts. This is highly unlikely and so far no one claims that this has happened. |

Oh, I don't think Cista2 will run on this one.
It will happen one day, however. This looks like it is a rep grind.

This pyramid has now closed. The remaining players were not too bad off, as 75% of their isk were still in the pyramid and have been returned to them.
This was an interesting little experiment, but it seems that psychology dictates players to stop sooner and sooner (layer 9, layer 7, layer 6)! With that duly noted, I will not launch more pyramids. Thanks everyone for participating :)

Seems profitable enough especially if manipulated with alts. I doubt this is a rep grind, though a pyramid scheme itself could be described as a scam.
