    I prefer snow caps.

    Edit to avoid a double post: I don't think some users even know about the corporations section. Any post here is only shown for a few seconds before it's overshadowed by something from BBTS or the Space Pirates.

    Hopefully both this thread and the other one'll get us the revival we all crave.

    Hrm, what about a stock market stickied thread? A hub for all publicly traded companies...

  5. I'm not too sure whether there's any software that could accommodate that, and I could certainly see the madness that might occur with daily updates and all that.

    How about an alternative thread, befitting of the "Corporation" status -- essentially an advertising page, with the corporations making up whatever garbage they can to sneak some potential customers in. Or perhaps one where they all just shout at each other. That'd be good, too.

    lol, and that would be less chaotic? No, I'm thinking of a stock ticker that people can update news on their corp every week, and a quarter is done every month, where the stock price can go up or down each quarter... to reduce the needed upkeep of the main post. It would work as a main news feed too, just with numbers dictating who's on top :iswydt:

  7. That's quite an interesting idea, certainly. Perhaps keep track of alliances as well:
    Brokers of Lives: +10.58
    We Sell Corporations: -8000.13
    Planetary Alliance ESO: +0.03
    If it were to get competitive, though, some safeguards would be nice to have in place. Sanctions, perhaps?

    Yeah, Kind of an EU thing, perhaps.
    A partner listing would be good too, yeah!

    And obviously wars and subterfuge would have negative effects as well.

  9. Hehe, the finer nuances of roleplaying making their way in here. get away merc

    And by the way, do you know any other corpoation forumites? I want to bother them until they come back.

    LOL, yes :)

    I don't really know most of them outside of these forums... sorry. But if we can get the corps into a different subform, maybe a RolePlay subforum?
     
  11. We should just keep this independent.

    Ah, agreed. So just a stickied thread with the stock tickers, current time (Quarter and week #'s), alliances and news feed. Sounds fun!

    Bronies Beyond the Stars. It's always either them, the space pirates, or Infinity: Renascentis that's at the front page of the social section.

    I've been on this subforum for ages, but now I've gotten fairly bored. Good luck to to you guys, I'll probably visit this place again, if anyone wants to join me.

  17. We still require more corporations for things to be *spiced up*. I may roll out an event to add to the allure of corporation-ing, but otherwise we'll just have to steadily build up.

    And don't forget, you guys can do some revolutionary thing if you ever figure out. I'm not the dictator of this place. Yet.

    This is a double post, but I don't care. I think that the way we really need to get people back here is to have something more than just business happen. The UTL got popular fast because it featured book dungeons, which were a bit more than the usual products and transactions that most of the corporations ran on. We're going to need some more interactive and exciting events than a stock market to keep things going around here.
