[IDEA] NS Stock Market

Postby Eaischpnaeieacgkque Bhcieaghpodsttditf » Wed Apr 15, 2015 5:32 pm

Okay, so I've been snooping around on NS, and the trend page has caught my eye for a while and made me think of an idea. Why doesn't NS have a stock market? Is it possible for a stock market to be included in the game in the future? By this, I mean like a trend for your industries saying how much a stock in the gambling industry, for example, would be worth in NSD. Also, a global market for all nations could be accessed to see how much your stock is worth compared to theirs. Also, possibly, maybe even being able to invest in a nation's stock? I am sorry if this was already debated about in the past, but I am curious on what you all think on an idea for a stock market. Or, is this just solvable in the analysis page? Anyway, it's an idea.

I support insanely high tax rates, do you?

Oh. I didn't come across this. Sorry about that. Never mind this.

ByteCoin was a dumb algorithm as confirmed by max...

Unfortunately as according the Nationstates news, having an actual stockmarket is extremely hard to code and in my opinion very unlikely to be implemented.

Anybody who understands the economics involved well enough to code a 'stock market' really accurately could probably make better use of their time playing the RL stock markets...

Any stock market simulation without any underlying numbers would be meaningless. Since every bit of it would have to be made up, you might as well simply call it a roleplay.

In fact, go ahead and do that. Create a stock market in a G&ET thread and see what happens. Feel free to set any conditions you like. I'm betting you'll get far more frustration than satisfaction out of it.
