EXAMPLE 1: Suppose that the random mechanism selects you; and that the other group member made unconditional contributions of 5 tokens. If you indicated in your contribution table that you will contribute 5 tokens if the other group member contributes 5 tokens, then the total contribution to the project is given by 5+5=10 tokens. Each group member would, therefore, earn 0.75×10=7.5 points from the project plus their respective income from their own private account. If, instead, you indicated in your contribution table that you would contribute 10 tokens if the other group member contributes 5 tokens, then the total contribution of the group to the project would be given by 5+10=15 tokens. Each group member would earn 0.75×15=11.25 points from the project plus their respective income from their own private account.

EXAMPLE 2: Suppose that the random mechanism does not select you; and that your unconditional contribution is 0 tokens. If the group member whom the random mechanism did select indicates in his contribution table that he will contribute 2 tokens if the other group member contributes 0 tokens, then the total contribution of the group to the project is given by 0+2=2 tokens. Each group member will therefore earn 0.75×2=1.5 points from the project plus their respective income from their own private account. If, instead, the randomly selected group member indicates in his contribution table that he contributes 8 if the other group member contributes 0 tokens, then the total contribution of the group to the project is 0+8=8 tokens. Each group member would therefore earn 0.75×8=6 points from the project plus their respective income from their own private account.
