Author Topic: Aces High Stock Market Game... (Read 9529 times)

Having just watched Trading Places again, I'm thinking it's time for a O'Club stock market game.

So I first want to guage whether or not there's interest in doing this. It could only be a couple of people, or it could be a runaway success.

If we do decide to do this, we need to figure out some things. First, where should we play?

I just came across http://www.virtualstockexchange.com/Game/Homepage.aspx .

I'll set up the game wherever. The question is, How much money to start? How long of a timeline? Should people be allowed to join after the start?

So, who wants in?

Alright boys and girls. Sign up at http://www.virtualstockexchange.com . Click on "Find a Game." The game's name is "AcesHigh" (no spaces). The password for the game is "Mustang". "LaLa" was too short. Starting coinage will be 100k, and the game will run for roughly a month.

The game kicks off on the June 12.

The winner gets to keep the sheep.

What the winner does with the sheep, is none of our damn business.

One quick question of order though. Should I make it so that all portfolios are public to everyone? Or private?

open. this way we can ridicule each other while the game runs.
