>SIR, WHAT HAS PLAGUED OUR GOOD CATALOG
Basically, you try and make as much money as possible by using the stock market to your advantage. You start with a solid loan of $25,000, and you use that to take the market.
>What do I do, exactly?
There are four stocks you can invest in-- Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Epsilon. Each of them will start at a randomly generated price from $10 to $80, updating every turn, meaning you can either lose or gain money, never knowing if the price after will be higher or lower. At the end of the fifteen turn period, your stocks will all be randomized once again, and the person with the highest amount of Net Worth wins the game.
>Can I buy stocks outside of the market?
Yes you can, by stealing stocks from other players. "Buying out" stocks means offering five times as much as the stock is worth at that moment and getting them right from other players. For example, if a stock is worth $30 each, you can buy the same stock from other players for $150 each.
>How is Net Worth calculated?
Your Net Worth is whatever money you have available, plus the total worth of all your stocks at that given moment.
>Can my cash go below zero?
Yes and no; there is no limit to how many stocks you want to buy. If your cash goes into the negative, however, you are forced to sell stocks until you go above zero again. If you have no stocks left to sell, and your cash is below zero, you are Bankrupt and eliminated from the game. You cannot buy stocks after going below zero, and if you're at that state by the end of the game, you will still be eliminated.
>What about money outside of the market?
You can get a loan from the Bank; however, those loans will only last a short amount of time and need to be paid back within four (4) turns. If it isn't paid, the Bank will forcefully take it without your permission-- even if you go below zero. The most you can loan is $250,000, and unpaid loans at the end of the game will be deducted then and there, regardless of how much you have.
To get started, all you need is your name. Let's do this thing!

Don't be afraid-- the game is still alive as ever.

I suppose you could call me n0w.
Max loan, all on Gamma.

>250 Gamma: $5000
>100 Epsilon: $7000
>50 Beta: $4000
>50 Alpha: $4000
Total Spent: $20000
Balance: $5000
>>
>>1508483
Huh, odd choice.
Epsi, Alph and Beta are all near their caps. It's very likely they'll lose value next turn.
I know I'm making a risky play for max loan given I don't know how how much interest the loans have, but assuming it's less than 34% per turn, I'm strongly favored to make money here.
>>
>>1508405
Invest $10,000 into Gamma, or "500" stocks.
