Do you play FAF's stock market?

You can talk about anything here, not necessarily game-related. You may also advertise here.

I hardly ever use stocks. I just did this test round and bought 10 mil of everything, sold 1 mil of everthing and made 700 bil in cash. :*laughs*:

I maintain that we need catastrophic stock crashes! :P

Of course, I'll just go into the stock market and manipulate it so it crashes all the time. This leads, of course, to insider trading! :D

Just kidding. ;)

[edit] Welp, looking at the stock market on the game right now, I rather like the totally wild nature of it right now.

Sometime in the future, we should change the stock market to be more "real". For example, buying and selling stocks will effect the price, and we could have simulated characters buying and selling in the turns script.

This would make the stock market strategic! Someone with 90% of the GRN shares can suddenly sell them all at a peak point and screw everyone over! :D

I thought of making it "realistic", but with few players it would be less chaotic, and what with cash differences in games, too manipulable.

It would also make the game more complicated. Seeing as we don't have that many members over 14, people may not even use the Stock Market if it frustrates them.
