Good Ol' Scoundrel

and I have been talkin' lately - Stock Prices. Updated on a monthly basis.Example (beware: tables):
| Index | Monthly Market Replies | Contracts per Month | Mass produced Factory Subs | Codex Submissions | Volatility | Chng% |
| A | -5.00% | 1.50% | 2.00% | 1.00% | -1.00% | -1.50% |
| B | 2.00% | -2.50% | 5.00% | -1.00% | -1.00% | 2.50% |
| C | 0.30% | -2.50% | 1.50% | -1.00% | -3.00% | -4.70% |
| D | -5.00% | -2.50% | 2.50% | -1.00% | 1.00% | -5.00% |
| E | -5.00% | -2.50% | -5.00% | -1.00% | 0.00% | -13.50% |
| Index | Monthly Market Replies | Contracts per Month | Mass produced Factory Subs | Codex Submissions |

| Company C | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| Company D | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 |

| Modifier Rules | |

| 1 Mass Produced Factory Sub = 0.05% (CAPPED AT 10) | 0 Mass produced Factory Subs = -5% |
| 1 Codex Sub = 0.05% (CAPPED AT 10) | 0 Codex Subs = -1% |
| Volatility is a randomly generated percentage between -3% to 3% |
The Company Game.
The idea was generated after some nostalgia for the 'company game' of ol' by a handful of peeps. The plan to create this public listing of companies is for it to be completely member-driven and not turn this into my second full-time job. It incentivizes those who put effort and are proactive, like many who enjoyed the ol' company game were. As any project, this is going to be modified as it is utilized fixing broken stuff and possibly 'DLC-ing' new stuff like new modifiers or whatnot.
The baseline/starting prices of your companies are based on another formula:
| Index | Marketplace Thread Views / 1000 | Marketplace Thread Replies / 1000 | Longevity | Multiply by 100 | Stock Price |
| Company A | 6.00 | 0.50 | 0.01 | 100 | 651.00 |
| Company B | 3.00 | 0.30 | 0.03 | 100 | 332.50 |
| Company C | 0.50 | 0.10 | 0.50 | 100 | 110.00 |
| Company D | 0.25 | 0.05 | 0.10 | 100 | 40.00 |
| Company E | 0.05 | 0.01 | 0.10 | 100 | 16.00 |
| Longevity Range (time since marketplace thread inception) | Variable |
| >6 Months | 0.1 |
| 6 Months - 1 Year | 0.5 |
| 1 Year - 2 Years | 0.025 |
| 2 Years | 0.01 |
Back to the full-time job point - every company owner who volunteers to 'play' this game is expected to provide by the end of each month the following:
| Monthly Marketplace Thread Replies | Contracts per Month | Mass produced Factory Subs (CAP 10) | Codex Submissions (CAP 10) |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
At this point, I am capping this index at 10 companies. First come, first serve.
To participate please fill this out in the replies:
| Company Name | Headquarters (one location only) | Symbol (7 characters at most) |
| Moisture Export Limited | Tatooine | MOIST (ok, no profanity, please) |
Thanks for your help,
