Next step: Google "fake death philippines" - at least for me that brought up a telegraph article [1] which explains a bit more.

"I don't share my previous salary but I'm always willing to share a pay range. The range being higher than I'd ever expect to get paid."

That sounds like you are actively exaggerating the amount you have been paid previously to establish a "baseline" of what you are willing to accept as a minimum salary in the job you're applying for. Anyways, from what I understand, the new law does not seem to prohibit you from asking for a salary (range) that the applicant would be willing to accept, just from asking for how much specifically they made in the past.

This is a very good point. It's a fine line but I appreciate the input.

I do give a rather large range. It's typically a 20-40% range based on how much I want the job. And I tailor it to every employer.

It would be great if I could join another game after surrendering without waiting for the game I just withdrew from to end.

Yeah, that sounds lame, its on the todo now.

Currently in [1], doesn't look like it will end anytime soon ;) Awesome game though, congrats!
