Game system, game device, game system control method, and game system control program

A game system comprising:

• i) an inter-group competition unit configured to perform an inter-group competition between a first in-game group of users and a second in-game group of users under a competition rule, with reference to the amount of a first virtual value and the amount of a third virtual value, the amount of the first virtual value being variable depending upon a first totality of individual game-results of individual users of the first in-game group of users, the amount of the third virtual value being variable depending upon a second totality of individual game-results of individual users of the second in-game group of users;
• and
• ii) a distribution unit configured to perform, with reference to a result of the inter-group competition performed by the inter-group competition unit, at least one of a first way of virtual-value-distribution to virtual value amounts individually-owned by individual users of the first in-game group of users, and a second way of virtual-value-distribution to virtual value amounts individually-owned by individual users of the second in-game group of users.

A gaming method comprising:

• i) performing, by a computer, an inter-group competition between a first in-game group of users and a second in-game group of users under a competition rule, with reference to the amount of a first virtual value and the amount of a second virtual value, the amount of the first virtual value being variable depending upon a first totality of individual game-results of individual users of the first in-game group of users, the amount of the second virtual value being variable depending upon a second totality of individual game-results of individual users of the second in-game group of users;
• and
• ii) performing, by the computer, with reference to a result of the inter-group competition, at least one of a first way of virtual-value-distribution to virtual value amounts individually-owned by individual users of the first in-game group of users, and a second way of virtual-value-distribution to virtual value amounts individually-owned by individual users of the second in-game group of users.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising:

• i) instructions to perform an inter-group competition between a first in-game group of users and a second in-game group of users under a competition rule, with reference to the amount of a first virtual value and the amount of a second virtual value, the amount of the first virtual value being variable depending upon a first totality of individual game-results of individual users of the first in-game group of users, the amount of the second virtual value being variable depending upon a second totality of individual game-results of individual users of the second in-game group of users;
• and
• ii) instructions to perform, with reference to a result of the inter-group competition, at least one of a first way of virtual-value-distribution to virtual value amounts individually-owned by individual users of the first in-game group of users, and a second way of virtual-value-distribution to virtual value amounts individually-owned by individual users of the second in-game group of users.
