So, Bay 12, let's play a game.
In this game, you will be bidding for stock in a company, the person with the most money at the end of the game wins. Pretty simple, huh? Now, for the specifics.

-The stock starts worth $100 a share
-There are 100 shares
-The stock will decrease in value by $10 per day
-The game is over when the stock reaches $0 in worth
-AI players will sell stock at current price, but only until all 100 shares are sold. They will not buy stock or procure more.
-The limit is 10 players
-To sign up, just post that you would like to reserve a spot
-Each player begins with $1,000 and 5 stock
-I will do updates at least once a day, detailing recent exchanges of stock and providing the current price of the stock.
-To post an order, the following form must be used

Buy order
[number] stock for [price] each
We [will/will not] split the lot

or

Sell order
[number] stock for [price] each
We [will/will not] split the lot

-An order can be filled by any player with the number of stock or money that is required. To fill an order, just quote the order and indicate that you are accepting it
-You can fill part of an order if that order is willing to split the lot, indicated on the bottom of the order form, do do so, quote the order as normal, but include the amount of stock and total price
-All stock trades are instant, and players are responsible for keeping track of their own purchases
-Any post with a game action must have a section at the bottom where the player stores data about his current funds and stock
-All stock trades are final
-The AI will post a sell order at the start of each day, for the amount that the stock is currently worth
-This section will be added to if additional questions arise.

I don't understand how this works, but I guess I'll figure out along the way. In.

[scapheap]

In I wonder how this will pan out?

[GreatWyrmGold]

What the heck. In.

[Remuthra]

Migt as well go in.

[Scelly9]

I'm gonna hold out for three more hours. Then, I will start the game.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Screw it im in

[scapheap]

Sell order
5 stock for 60 each
We will split the lot

-scapheap
$1000
5 stock

[Dariush]

A clarification: what exactly does splitting the lot do?

[Scelly9]

It allows someone to buy part of the order, instead of the entire thing
Example:
PlayerA wants to sell 50 stock
PlayerB doesn't have enough money to buy all 50
if PlayerA allows splitting, PlayerB can buy as much of the lot as he has money for

[Dariush]

Ah, I see. The phrasing was ambiguous, because it said 'we'.

Sell order
5 stock for 60 each
We will split the lot

-scapheap
$1000
5 stock

Buy order
5 stock for 60 each

-Dariush
$700
10 stock

Amidointhisrite?

[Scelly9]

Sort of. Since the trade is done instantly, your status at the end of the post should have ten stock and $700

[Dariush]

Fix'd. I find it unfair that some people may get royally screwed by timezones (at least it isn't me, for a change), though.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sell Order:
5 stock for $350, splittable. Negotiate if price is unnacceptable.
