Do you use the stock market in FAF? Not just in this round, but in general.

I've almost never used it. That's not to say I won't in the future, but up too this point I haven't made much use of it.

(Not on topic, but replying to your other comment, Nev -- not to be a fascist, but I'd like to preserve my Stock Market code somewhere, and at least supervise any new versions of it. Thanks!)

Well, it's not going to happen anytime soon. And, yes, I'll run the work by you before checking it into the codebase when it happens.

Which brings me to the topic of whether it's fair, because if you buy everything, not really a way to lose unless you need to sell short.
Back. I think.

Sell short? I don't think you can do that in the stock market the way it is now.

What I would like to see is more stock imploding. Make it a very risky operation.

Right now it is pretty dern safe. We need massive implosions of stock prices. Stock crashes! Fortunes lost!
Yep.
Everyone can use it though. I like it you don't know if that little warband that you attack is rich or not, and if it's going ot kill you *laughs*.

Everyone can use it, but it can't be so powerful that everyone who doesn't use it is at a disadvantage.
