The Hat Market Game

[Kapol]

I personally think it's hilarious.

[EikoandMog]

Too bad Jack Slack doesn't do charts anymore. Because this is a full-on Hatageddon.

I've talked to him about bringing it back but the main thing is the logistics of holding the numbers in order to make the graphs every week.

[EikoandMog]

I should also mention that it won't be JackSlack doing the report. It'll be whoever was recording numbers that week.

[Garfman]

Fuuuuuuuu....
I have been keeping stock in HATS for three weeks now, just waiting for the eventual resurgence.....
Thank goodness I have no confidence in the market, and have 600M in liquid.

[Dutch guy]

Welp, I have nothing of value right now, but since I haven't shorted anything I should be good once the Hats return, right? Right??? Guys..., I'm right, no? Please tell me I'm not poor. How will I live without my solid gold yacht?

[Drdiggit42]

Yeah Dutch, you stocks will be there so long as you didn't short anything that needs to be bought back.

[Master Gunner]

Yep, I'm busted too. I shorted Spec and went all in on hats, leaving nothing liquid. So when the system attempts to auto-sell my shares to pay back spec...I still won't have any money with which to do so. Unless someone wants to loan me 3 trillion dollars?

[EikoandMog]

Yeah, I'm out this week. I just HAD to short spec again, didn't I?

[Master Gunner]

If not for Hats going to 0, it would have been a massive gain. There's no way anyone could have foreseen this.

[Keab42]

I'm kinda glad I left things exactly as they are. I've lost worth, but I have enough Liquid to keep me afloat.

*logs in*

Huh, those 20000000 shares in FACE ought to help...

[phlip]

Rest in peace, poor phlip3. We barely knew ye.

[Fugiman]

*considers adding in a system to steal money from the top player for people who fail by "just a little bit"*

[Kapol]

I'd say nah. Let those who fail fail. Tis the cold, hard unreality of the hat market.

[SilPho]

Congratulations to anyone who has managed to survive these past few weeks.

[Psyclone]

So for some reason the video wasn't playing for me and I was like OH NO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO but then I remembered I had other browsers. So yeah. Numbers are up, crisis averted, all that good stuff.

Can we have, like, a moment of silence or something?

[EikoandMog]

If anybody needs me, I'll be picking out some cheese from discarded pizza boxes. That'll make me feel better. If all else fails, just see me at my trailer.

[Dutch guy]

@Fugi, if you want you can probably instute a system whereby people can borrow a 1000 bucks to start over from the top player. It's not as if I'm really going to notice a few thousand bucks going missing

[The Architect]

From 3rd place to 2nd last place. Not only bankrupt, but I took the GDP of several medium sized nations with me.

[Exachix]

Ah a nice cozy box.

Whell! It can't get any worse for next week!

[Master Gunner]

At least I'm in top 5 for "Most in the Box"...?

[Dutch guy]

Sold the bit of Face I had put aside for a rainy day. I think this counts as a rainy day.

Now I'm debating whether to short Nada this week. It's a risky proposition.

[Keab42]

All those bankruptcies have pushed me into 8th place !!!

Although I think congrats are still in order for under_score that's an impressive gain

[SilPho]

The "Buy All" button can actually cause you to lose money. I manually bought 23 shares of SPEC today. Had a small amount of money left over and decided to see what would happen if I clicked "Buy All", turns out it just sets your liquid to 0 in this case.

Bug or feature?

[Master Gunner]

Feature. Definitely feature.

[auberginequeen]

So many people failed that finally, finally I am in the top ten.
