Airwave Airlines stock is now available. www.freewebs.com/simstockmarket/This is just a very very early beta for the stock market to come. Until I get a user interface figured out, just post how much of your cash you want to invest, and I'll take care of the transaction. Think of me as your broker for now. Remember the more stock purchased, the higher it's value, so the first to get it will probably get a better price. The amount of stock sold is not the only factor in the stock value though, so it will fluctuate up and down. For Season 7 I have decided to add funds to owner's accounts based on team performance and some other factors yet to be worked out with Nuggs and Ken. Whoever has the highest value of total stock after the season will get a gift from Jeeper. More than likely a $50 gift certificate from a shop of your choosing. I hope that's incentive enough for all to participate. Anyways, your input is very valuable in this project and I hope everyone enjoys. |

AA stock will be offered to outside investors on January 1st, 2005.
The stock is sure to go up quite a bit when that happens, so I highly suggest that everyone get in on the ground floor before then.
Also, I've taken Ken's idea of giving dividends, and I will give them out on a yet-to-be determined interval. Maybe the dividends (profit/share) can be used somehow in the SCSL financial system, but that's up to Nuggs.
Like I said, it's coming along slowly. Suggestions are always welcome.

Woot, got some questions, so give me no more than 24 hours.
Here we go:
Have the amount of money each person makes in the SCSL tie in. So, yea, make them one in the same. Otherwise, I don't know what else to ask.
Invests: $950,000

Yeah I saved the profits that the people that invested made. So when I start allowing investing again, they'll start with what they last had.
Nugget $1,150,255.32
Ken $1,133,394.97
Mac $1,071,695.20
Now remember, if you own a company, you cannot invest in it, at least not until each owner participating has their own company in the market. Owners already own 51% of their company, so they don't have to worry about losing it.

Hosting should not be a problem. I will handle that when the time comes.
I am really glad that your buddy is gonna help out. I was thinking, when I've got all the formulas and all set up, can't you just integrate that into the web page? I mean Excel is considered a database program as well as a spreadsheet program. Plus I know that you can set up websites to access and/or modify Excel. So once you're buddy figures out how to do it, it should really start coming along.
Also, D&D is for uber-nerds, and we're not quite there.
Yet...
