Yes, its back!


I created this game a long time ago, and it was quite successful, but I made some math errors near the beginning that resulted in huge discrepancies later, causing the game to end. But this time, I have a plan!

The game:


The objective is to make as much money as you can, by investing in stocks. Buy them from the bank, or from other players. Sell them and rake in the cash. The stocks will fluctuate randomly, and knowing when to buy, and when to sell, will be the heart of the game.

The Stocks:


Red and Orange: Regular stocks, they will have about an evens chance of going up or down.

Yellow and Green: Special stocks, will tend to increase in value when low, and decrease when high.

Blue and Purple: Have slightly less chance than Red and Orange to increase, but owners of these stocks will be open to occasional special offers!

White: A cheap stock that is guaranteed to go up, but very (very) slowly. A low-risk, low-reward investment.

Violet and Beige: only available through special offers.

You start with
$750
(not taking /ins currently)

Special offers!??!?!?!

If you buy 5 shares of blue in the next fifteen minutes, we'll double the free gift you receive! That's right! Not one, but 2 Sham-wows! Keep one in your car! In your purse! In your office!

But wait! There's more! If you give us a valid credit card number, we'll throw in 2 buckets of Oxyclean! When you can't get to your sham-wows in time, you can always remove the stain like it never happened!

*ahem*

I'll take
8 purple (400)
2 blue (100)
2 black(200)
1 orange (50)

you know

waiting for some of the stocks to go down and not spending all your money right away might have been a good strategy.

It's early; I probably wouldn't do this in real life but I suppose I can accept future special consideration as currency so I'll accept.

But white is free money q.q
