BTW Hork I also have given years to this game..not just u.
true, and to be quite honest you've put far more effort into it. after all i've only played one account to your countless. so i'll have to concede that to you. I just don't get this change. Why not fix the game...blow it up and start it over. but wouldn't that make all your hard work to get where you are today a waste of time?

If you truly love a car and it has mechanical problems your choices are: 1.) Do your best to live with the problems 2.) Attempt to fix those problems as you find them 3.) Get rid of the car and get a new one Jockstocks is my car and, while it has its mechanical problems, I'm far too emotionally attached to 'blow it up and start over'. I know the analogy only goes so far, but you get the picture. I can keep fixing THIS car AND still buy another one, too. In other words, one thing we may very well do is start an all new market with different formulas, different rules....but utilizing the same stocks and stats. That's the ONLY version of 'starting over' I foresee. I'm not sure what you don't get about the change- it's only semantically different than where we were before yesterday, mostly. The same stocks that can be daytraded now could be daytraded before the change- there's just the mental adjustment of higher share prices and smaller number of shares held.

Rich I'm not here to cause problems or start fights. I guess I could be negative and antagonistic as Hork and Relic and Parrot as well. They just take cheap shots. None would act like that in person.
Orren car analogy is fine. If we use a different analogy it would go like this. You are our loved relative. If u keep acting crazy we shall put u in a home. Ok let me twist it. You have a failing heart. U didnt run like we told u. Didnt eat right. Now it is time to get a new heart or u may die. Putting makeup on you and a new t-shirt doesnt mask the fact your heart is failing. I love your car BTW. But if you could go back to mile one on the engine knowing what u know now, wouldn't u. I'm sure those with gazillion dollars would understand. The numbers are so overwhelming how does any new players feel they could EVER get there? Everything is out of whack. Numbers should be more realistic. Stocks should start as penny stocks. People should have $100 to $1000 to start. Also they should earn it. I just think you're shortchanging yourself. How long must u be nice ole Orren? Does it really matter to make the same 5-6 stuffies happy? Make u some money. Have a grand opening. Send out a mailer. Start putting poppa O first for a change. Time to get a brand new car. Airbags, better fuel economy, ABS, etc.

Yeah I'm the bad guy. Say I don't understand the change. So many changes even someone that has been here since day 1 can get confused. Instead of explaining I get the ribbing and insults. Relic maybe I misunderstood your AMEN brother reply to Orren putting me in my place. Maybe I always misunderstand the jeers and cutdowns from you, Hork, Rich, and Parrot. Some call you the clique. Others just are afraid to post because it is the same handful that attacks. Often you get a storm or jk to pile on. Your negativity breeds more.
My only point is it is hard to figure what to do in a game they changes daily. I am not here every hour like some of you. Days where the server is down for X number of hours, splits have disappeared. What is being acheived? Was it useless to hold or aquire splits? So many questions yet it is useless knowing the answers will be condescending and insincere. I guess it is useless. PORT FOR SALE!

can't speak for anyone else but i rarely see anyone getting attacked routinely. which begs the question, what is the real root of the hostility? a select few or that which draws the constant ire?

You contradict yourself so many times its not even funny. You complain about not understanding. What's so hard to understand? Prices went up, stocks are back to 10k max share, with stocks splitting at $10k. What is so hard to freaking understand about that?!?!?!?!? You say, "people are getting screwed for years of work." First of all, you dont have "years of work" you have "months of work" on a bought port. Secondly you then say, "lets blow it up and start over". Uh...wouldnt that be "screwing people out of their years of work?" WTF? Get over yourself Troy. I will resort to name calling because I can and I dont care. You are an idiot. You have driven more people away from the game than brought to the game. Including some big names from around here. I'm suprised some of the bigger names are still here! I know since you came here, from day one, I haven't been playing much. Was considering a "comeback" and started looking at things over the last few days...now I'm not so sure I want to start playing again. In fact, I'm not so sure I want to keep coming here to read your nonsense. Every stupid comment you make, every dumb attack, you COST the site and Orren money. In the same breath you say, bring the site money but everyone here sucks. Whatever man. /rant over

And it's not like the change came out of left field....I've mentioned doing it, there's been discussion about doing it, for weeks. I finally had the time and did it. Obviously, we don't intentionally cause problems with the server....so that's not within our control. Yes, you totally misunderstood Randy's AMEN. Firstly, I didn't 'put you in your place', I gave you some of the explanation you asked for. Randy simply agreed with my explanation. None of it was pointed at you or intended to squash your opinion. Troy, the only one who seems to talk about a clique...is you. And your perception is that anyone who disagrees with you or doesn't like something you say....is in 'the clique'. Wouldn't that occasionally put me in 'the clique' as well? But as Groucho Marx said...I could never join a club that would have me as a member.... What is being achieved? Well let's take a look- well over 200 stocks that have, in some cases for years, been 'stagnant' on the market because they've not been able to be daytraded....now CAN be. And those same stocks can now be purchased in larger dollar amounts by competition ports. Plus, now that they are no longer stock splits, it opens up other options we can consider in attempting to regulate things. You talk like starting over would cure all ills. Well...the bulk of people here actively, semi-actively, or casually...would disagree. In fact, I dare say more would NOT restart up to 5 years work here than would. You're a case in point against your own mindset- you didn't LIKE having to start over...enough so that you used real money to get back to where you were on the TV leaderboard. NOW you wanna start over?!
