Posted May 20, 2008 I've sold off 10 of my falling Exxon shares, bought 190 in another petrol company... lets see how this goes. Fish: Don't... we should only have 1 game at a time. I don't wanna make this into zomg a million mafia games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2008 I have to say, the ratio of starting funds to commission makes it all but impossible to do selling short effectively. You can only do such a thing and profit if you see a momentary sky rocket, sell short, watch it fall, and buy it back. We really do need to start from the top...

Posted May 20, 2008 IMPORTANT PLEASE READ! Due to all the complaints about the starting price and commision costs, i've decided to create a new game. This new game begins tommorow (Registratin will close next Wednesday). So make sure to join the game before then. To join the new game, look for a game called "neurope2". And the password is "wearegamers" Sorry for the inconveineance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 21, 2008 I can´t seem to be able to switch games to buy stocks when I change games in the drop down menu. Is it because the games both have the same name? EDIT: Quitting the game fixed it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2008 Yup, same here. On my way now though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2008 You have got to be shitting me, i buy 150in whole foods, second the order comes through the fucking thing crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2008 I can't make a trade in the new game. They shouldn't both be called N-Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2008 If your having troubles, just quit the old game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2008 I don't understand what I'm doing. I think I bought shares but I don't know what 'Term' and 'Pricing Type' means. Or when they actually make the trade for the shares so I actually own them. Yes I'm stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2008 I can't make a trade in the new game. They shouldn't both be called N-Europe. Ok i've changed the old game to N-EuropeOLD. Sorry about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
