Another former WSS player in the house
 

Hey all,

I was looking up Wall Street Sports in Wikipedia the other day and found Jockstocks. It's so nice to see a game like this again. I spent hours and hours on WSS back in the day and expect that could happen here too.

Looking forward to hanging out...

Oh, and I guess I didn't really introduce myself. My name is Rich. I've been playing fantasy sports and simulations since the late 80s. And probably play around 15-20 different games throughout the year. I actually wrote for a fantasy baseball site for a time ... and my actual job is a sports editor/writer. Not to mention I have an Ebay side business ... selling sports cards!

So yeah, when I say sports is my life, I'm not really exaggerating.

Welcome! We have a ton of former WSS players. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, or you can check out the Oasis, too.

Nick

would we have known you by this username in WSS days?

you may/may not remember mine....I started the Oasis back there and brought it here.....tho I'd point you to the tour (linked in the forum news area) first.......some things are the same, but we have things here we never had at WSS.....like autosell so you don't even have to BE here in the morning...

and if you're a writer, we may have to talk later since Nick and I plan some expansions here soon, if things go right.... ;)

I do remember you from the old game, and I remember the Oasis. I missed it while looking around at first, so thanks to both you and Nick for pointing it out.

I don't think I was warpig at WSS. That user name is a little newer compared to my older, more boring user names, which were usually rski70 or something like that.

I like what I see here and look forward to getting into the different competitions. And feel free to contact me about site expansions and a need for a writer.

one thing to remember here, as opposed to WSS, is.....you never need to start new accounts just to play in competitions...

you always have your total value portfolio....which you can just keep building.....but you'll note on your port page that you have several other portfolios built into your account....a monthly that resets every month, your monthly this month rolls into being your quarterly next month, the last quarterly rolled into being a yearly this month...plus currently there are 3 sport specific ports for MLB, PGA, and NASCAR along with an NFL port in season.....you can only buy stocks in those sports in those ports...those comps are in half seasons (full for NFL)

....'free money' for voting on the voting sites (which is also how you get an autosell ticket) can't go into sport specific ports at this time...

just noticed you're 2nd in monthly this month- good job! :)
