This may, or may not work. I’m not sure people will be interested, but I find it a pretty cool concept.
I’m going to be assigning airsoft related companies values, which may increase or decrease dependent on their actions, their reputation or even reviews and news on the forum. I’ve outlined the rules of this game below.
Before you read though, this game rewards content generation. If you own shares in say, Tokyo Marui, and you write them a review, that may increase their value, and thus the value of your shares, which is good (but don’t lie, if you get caught out, it might not be so lovely).
Basic rules:
-Stock values will be updated as suitable at 8:30pm to the best of my ability (if things are happening, daily/realtime, if not, then weekly on Friday nights).
-Stock purchases end at 8:00pm and resume at 9:00pm, if you suspect your stock is going to fluctuate, and you want to buy or sell post in the thread BEFORE 8:00pm or after 9:00pm.
-Every player starts with £25 to spend on their stocks.
-Every month, the player with the most value will be declared the winner and will receive a bonus £5 and an internet cookie.
-I will be the broker, I will not be playing but all buying and selling must go through me, I will also dictate value changes using the guidelines below and my own discretion, this includes bailing out bankruptcy and/or buying in a company etc.
-All stock portfolios will be published in this first post, if it’s not typed in here, it doesn’t count toward your score.
-Scoring is based on “cash held” and also the value tied up in stocks.
-If a player finds themselves in a situation where they can’t do anything at all, they may declare themselves bankrupt, other players may then “buy them out” – taking over all their stock and giving them an amount of cash with which they can start again.
-Players may "buy in" a company in order to bring them into the game if they feel they should be included.
-Please post only ONCE, once you have seen your request etc acknowledged in this post, you can edit your own to simply say [Placeholder], with a note of the date changed, until such time as you choose to do something else.
-From time to time, companies may restrict how many shares they allow to be bought to ensure competition etc.
-Inactive portfolios will be cleared after 21days; you do not have to buy or sell, but must return every 21 days to update your placeholder.
-Other rules may pop up as the game goes on, for I am a whimsical lord and master.
Guidelines on values:
-The following will increase value by £1.00, new products, positive reviews, new stock, announcing major events etc.
-The following will increase value by £1.50, good reviews, revolutionary and innovative products never seen before.
-Negative reviews will decrease value by £0.50x the number of bad reviews in a row.
-Extremely bad reviews, or cancellations etc will decrease value by £2.00
-The above are merely the guidelines that I can think up right now, since I’m going to be the broker, I will decide what something is worth.
