Invest! Buy shares of stock for Nevji's Fine Tomahawks and Other Items Shop
 
Message from Nevji Jewelbash, Future owner of Nevji's Fine Tomahawks and Other Items Shop!

Hoping to become the largest player shop on the forums, I want YOU to invest in my dream of a huge shop, filled with Tomahawks, Spoocebows, Blitz Packers, Snuzis, Little Hackerz, and all sorts of varieties of Weapons, Armor, Food, and else.

All you have to do is invest!

FTI

Here is how it works.

You invest moolah, as much as you want. That money will be a percentage of all the money I have ammassed. The more money I get, the more your percentage goes up. You can sell your shares any time, so that you get more money then you put in!

Example:

Dude puts in 200 MLA into FTI. I have 500 MLA already. That's 700 MLA. Dude owns roughly 28% of my shop, while I own 72%. I get 1300 MLA over the next weak, and Dude wants to sell. I now have 2000 MLA!

He sells his stock for 28%, which was his original number. 28% of my shop is 560 MLA! You've just tripled your original number!

Its easy, its fast, it accomplishes both of our dreams. Invest into the future supermarket of the Forums!

As much MLA as you want to invest.

Investor #1
 
"Well, since I am not doing anything with my money but want more here you go."

Raz inputs 40 MLA into Nevji's Tomahawks Store.

That leaves me with ( quickly does math ) 2.5% of the store. Not much but oh well.

As this will be the only shop so far, I expect it'll be a winner.

Welcome to the forums Darkest! I see you have a Jack Handy quote in your sig like I do. Jack Handy rocks!

Cya later!

Darkest 01-22-2003 11:56 AM

Thank you Shadestorm! Your investment is approved of!

Any more investors!? This could become the first shop in the Forums, all you need to do is invest a little Moolah!

Darkest 01-22-2003 12:40 PM

I invest 116 moolah in my own shop!

That is for a grand total of 156 MLA.

So, your share is currently at 41%! That's nearly half my shop! Well, business is business.

Shadestorm 01-23-2003 01:13 AM

I got my paycheck ( suggestions )...

Raz invests 60 MLA into Nevji's Store.

This leaves me with 100 MLA invested in Nevji's store.

Have fun!

Darkest 01-23-2003 12:07 PM

That gives you a share of 68% of TSI... however, since I still have more money than you in here... You haven't won my shop over yet...

FireFrog 01-23-2003 10:55 PM

Meh...
 
Meh, Why not?

Take some MLA: 40 invested

Darkest 01-23-2003 11:22 PM

TSI
Moola: 256

Only 244 Moolah to go! We're half way there!

FireFrog, you have been given a share of 15%!
Shadestorm, your share is 68%!
My share is 59%!

FireFrog 01-24-2003 02:16 AM

Don't forget that you still have to buy stock (to stock your shop)
:P

FireFrog 01-24-2003 02:38 AM

Oh yeah, dont forget that you wont actually be able to buy a shop untill Rex and I have sorted out the rules PROPERLY and have created the full catalogue
Sorry

Darkest 01-24-2003 11:21 AM

Well, if the Oddworld Council works out, we can all decide the rules! And yes, I know I'll have to stock it.

Ok, redid the Stock-Market System so its more fair.

Darkest's Share is 39%
Shadestorm's Share is 33%
FireFrog's Share is 13%

You may have lower percentages, but it all equals out in the end. It requires some heavy mathematics so, you guys don't have to worry.

Shadestorm 01-25-2003 04:03 PM

160 MLA into Nevji's shop.
Have fun!

cooldude 01-28-2003 06:54 PM

200 MLA!!! there you go darkest

Darkest 01-28-2003 09:02 PM

I have accumulated a lot of stock, enough to start my store. As soon as the shopkeeper rules are decided, you'll have a nice store to buy stuff from.

FireFrog 01-29-2003 06:45 AM

Cooldude! You dont have 200 MLA!!!!!!!
Darkest, strip that one from the record...

Darkest 01-29-2003 11:38 AM

Dang!

I thought I had gotten a real investment...
