Realism blows but yeah, go for it ET. How can we the people help you? Like you need to lay down the law at those board meetings, get this **** pumping. You gotta be genetically different baby, straight up alpha.

Really it’s just an issue of time and prioritizing. We have tons of stuff we want to do and it’s a question of how much time it takes to implement versus how much value it adds to our users.

I actually think I could knock out the code for this in a day, so that’s good from a “getting it done” standpoint.

Having said that, I know a lot of players like SG94 would prefer to see a new store buying/selling interface first.

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.

I don’t like it. I want it to be contained within Forumwarz, so the community can decide what goes up and what goes down, just like in real life. We need to be able to buy player stocks for the people and klans we like most, and make a Peen for being the most valuable commodity. You wouldn’t be able to do that if it were all based on the real life stock markets.

Indeed, there needs to be some previews of the store. You should base the graphics on this:

Log in to see images!

All streamlined and blue. Not sure what meme to parody it with though. NASDAQ + ? = Funny?

Also, you need to make sure it’s based in the “Services” tab in bookmarks, like the Job Board.

EDIT: Idea! Make it a side mission to unlock it!

Yeah. The store interface wouldn’t be that hard to code, but would need extensive testings as to not be exploited. And also to prevent you from losing all out stuff. That is sorta important. But then again we have nothing to buy. I can beat almost every forum without using a drug, maxed out everything.

Which brings to question why am I wanting a stock market to make more money? We need a new GFoC, and not Dykea because the idea blows worse than mine.

I like that idea too. Without player based interaction its just fantasy stock trading. Im not sure if were big enough though to have out own economy yet.

LOL, just noticed EVERY market has gone down. Another reason to make it all inside ForumWarz.

Yeah. I mean it would be too easy to manipulate it but that could lead to bans. We could also pull some Sugar Act **** on this and imply limits.

Or make a news site that picks news daily out of a bunch of templates (full of randomizers, of course), and some can effect the male reproductive organMarket.

No, it’s a good idea, I just don’t think this should be implemented like Domination, with different crap every week..

I think MockMarket sounds better than male reproductive organMarket, actually.

SockMarket is very special, and that’s what we’re going for, just not funny enough.

It’ll be CrotchMarket! Based off of Crotch Zombie Studios! We could have ET himself appear in the side-mission.

Eh maybe. Almost too self-referring though.
