The title speaks for itself, it would be a new way to make Flexx and would replace suicide as a secondary way to make Antifreeze Scoops.

You could invest in forums pwned, items bought, junk sold, scoops made, and other such things. It would fluctuate in real time as if a real market.

Things like whole klans betting on an item and then all going to buy it would be illegal.

No idea how to implement it, but it could be a fun idea.

Yeak it sorta needs to be carved out, Ill write my three page long thesis that only 3 people will read later.

Huh. I don’t really like the name, but the idea is spectacular! Kinda like a stock market that could be rigged? Log in to see images!

I don’t think it should be illegal to rig it, it would add more fun, and we could make a whole forum section for it. Klans getting together to help make their stocks rise in value would be amazingly fun.

To make it more interesting, some randomness should be involved, so not all rig attempts will be successful.

Hah!

Not only has a Stock Market idea been on the table for a while (at least 6-8 months in our CZ meetings), but Wangerbanger just tubmailed me this very idea yesterday.

Perhaps because of the state of the economy.

This idea is full of won

ET should get crakin on this, srsly, given the state of the economy right now it would be great.

Even better idea: make some items take into account the change of real life stocks to some degree. It would ensure that not everything is within the userbase’s control.

I thought attacks are supposed to do damage.

Nah, don’t link it to real life. We’d undergo a great depression.

Actually, you know how Forumwarz parodies a ****load of web sites?

I was thinking I could make the fake stock market just pull quotes from the sites we’re parodying.

So you’d be buying Sentrillion stocks, only at the current rate of GOOG converted to flezz.

Ha, my father’s a stockbroker. Instant win.

I suppose that could work. You should save that and open it with a mission. Like “Hack The Economy”, were you like jump start it or something by pwning it. You could have some coked out 80’s walllstreet type like as you to pwn the economy because hes selling everything short but then have it backfire by making the economy rally it back up and bankrupt him.

Of course you guys wouldn’t be affecting it with your purchases. If we based the whole thing on purchases and sales, you would be. Which might be more fun.

But personally I think the realism version is more interesting.
