Stockbroking BGS and Cancelled Events

Announcements
1

Unsurprisingly, we didn’t write this LARP with the expectation that we’d have to cancel events. That means that we made some assumptions that I need to figure out now. One of these is stockbroking.

So here’s our situation:

  • When you spent Research before Winter to determine trends, I told you what was going to happen to the stock between Winter and Spring.
  • When you buy or sell stocks, you do so at Winter’s prices.
  • When you buy or sell options, they process at Spring’s prices.
  • When you research stocks, I’m going to tell you the expected changes between Summer and Fall’s prices (your next BGS cycle).

You can see that this is going to be an issue.

To (partially) solve this problem, I’m releasing the Spring stock prices here. Also: stockbrokers may spend their free Summer focus to sell stock, if they wish, at these prices.

Say what you will about war, but the stock market seems to like it.

With the cancellation of the summer event, are there any plans to adapt stockbroking for two missing events at this point, or is it more of a wait and see situation to see if there’s further impact first?

Hey. Just wanted to touch base on this. How stuff is adjusted for the summer cancellation could have an effect on my/Nico’s focus plans for the bonus focus due this weekend.

In this case, it’s really easy. We’re just freezing the market. So the numbers we have for summer will be the numbers that appear in the fall newspaper.

6

And the research we did for the summer -> fall period will instead apply to fall->winter?
(Which would make sense, I just want to be 100%)

Yes, exactly.
