Winning back what you have lost
Two assets can be won back: your Job and your Friends. For each of them there are two ways, and both sit here at the same size and the same prominence. Neither is pushed down the page. Family cannot be won back at all, by either route.
Job Held
If you lost it today, your chance of getting it back would be 37%
Why 37%? It starts at 45%. Your stress has sat above 60 on 9 of the last 12 days, and each full week above that line costs 8 points. The figure is published now, while you still have the Job, rather than at the moment you lose it.
Floor: 5%. The chance never falls below this, however bad the history — there is always a way back.
The chance path
Spend 200 tokens for one attempt at a new job. The chance of success is exactly the figure above. If it fails, the tokens are gone and you get nothing.
- A new job comes up37%
- Nothing comes up63%
The odds are published before you try, and they do not improve the more attempts you have already failed or the more tokens you have already spent.
This button turns on only if the Job is actually lost. You still hold it, so there is nothing to win back yet.
The learning path
Finish the Managing stress module — four lessons, about seven minutes. It costs no tokens and involves no chance. If the Job is lost, completing the module restores it directly; it never sends you into a draw.
- Tokens required0
- After finishing the moduleJob restored
The module is open whether or not you have lost the Job, and finishing it also slows the daily stress rise that costs you the job in the first place.
Open the moduleFriends Three lost
Your current chance of recovery: 18%
Why 18%? It starts at 45%. You borrowed from three friends this run and did not pay them back — each one costs 9 points. This is not a number the system picked at random. It follows directly from what you did, and the formula is printed here rather than hidden.
Floor: 5%. The chance never falls below this, however bad the history — there is always a way back.
Tokens have no cash value. They cannot be bought, sold or exchanged for money.
The chance path
Spend 200 tokens for one attempt. The chance of success is exactly the 18% above. If it fails, the tokens are gone and you get nothing.
- Recovery succeeds18%
- Recovery fails82%
The odds are published before you try, and they do not change with how many times you have failed. There is no mechanic that improves them the more you spend.
One attempt · 200 tokensThe learning path
Finish the Rebuilding trust module — four lessons, about six minutes. It costs no tokens and involves no chance. Completing it restores one eligible Friend directly, without a recovery attempt.
- Tokens required0
- After finishing the moduleOne Friend restored
There is no draw afterwards. The learning outcome and the separate chance attempt do not share state, probabilities or code.
Open the moduleThe chance formula is calculated entirely separately from the simulated betting engine, and no sponsor data touches it. Every recoverable asset also has a deterministic learning route: finishing the module restores the eligible asset without a draw. Family remains permanently unrecoverable.
