This task is retired.

Create OTC derivatives to price the non-financial risk in your own life. These derivatives should not be priced in $$$ or liquid assets, but rather in services or illiquid goods. They can be forwards, options, swaps, or any other exotic derivative you can come up with.

Trade your derivatives with other players. Bonus points if you don't know those players in real life. Super bonus points if you create derivatives on your derivatives, or derivatives on another player's derivatives.

Aww man, I didn't understand this stuff when I was working for Euromoney Magazine and I sure don't understand it any better now. Jeez.

Shouldn't this allow for more than two players? Someone could take this task to the next level by creating an exchange for, say, SF0 player point futures.

I think it's something like: give your "love" a price in services and/or something of value. Afterwards trade it with someone for his/her goods/services
