· 2 likes · Now that I think about it, you might as well rewrite all of the stocks, as they all seem to be dependant only on how much the big money players can manipulate the market.
With the elimination competition in full swing, TCHS has this in it's description :
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of people in hospital.
Clearly, there are exponentially more people in the hospital than usual, yet, forecast is low, and the stock is currently moving down.
So, I imagine, like what you did with Yazoo and screwing over people, you can just remove the bit that says the price relies on how many people are in hospital, because it's clearly not true, and you wouldn't fix a mistake doing the logical thing.
Now that I think about it, you might as well rewrite all of the stocks, as they all seem to be dependant only on how much the big money players can manipulate the market.
I am inclined to agree with you very true tchs share price must have skyrocketed by now if the description is true, but it seems like stocks are more and more inclined for rich players not to those player who wanna use common sense............
How is there a low forecast, when the stock should be performing ridiculously well, with all the people in the hospital?
I don't think any of the descriptions are accurate:
TCSB :
The performance of this stock relies upon the total money invested in the bank.
WLT:
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of people travelling in and out of Torn.
TCSB:
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of money in company banks.
LSC
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount the casino gains from people losing. - If the casino always takes money out of the system, how does it ever go down, if that statement is true?
WSSB:
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of people currently in education courses.
ISTC
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of people currently in education courses. - If those 2 are true, their graphs should line up pretty evenly.
FHG
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of refills people have made.
BAG
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of money spent in Big Al's shop.
HRG
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of money spent on properties by people.
TCP
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of company advertising campaigns.
TCT
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of classified advertisements.
SLAG
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of people in jail.
ELBT
The performance of this stock relies upon the amount of money spent on properties by people. - Again, same as HRG, so charts should be similiar, again, not the case
IIL
The performance of this stock relies upon amount of computers purchased. - wtf???
So, these are all inaccurate, and not true. I have been screwed over by several of these fluff statements, and I'm sure many others have as well.
You could have went over everything when you "fixed" the Yazoo issue. Well, with this new issue, maybe you can take some time and try to correct these errors, please.
How much weight does the performance reliance variable actually have? Up until this point I just assumed all of that stuff was just universe building with no bearing on the stock.
I mean I get they can't be too powerful to prevent gaming of the stock but still.
This. Also it's day by day. The first day of extra hosps would increase it. The next day might be the same as the last day or lower so might decrease it.
Well if that's the case, in the very least it should be reworded. "relies" on the amount of people in hospital. Rely is not the correct term that should be used, as the performance does not rely on how many people are in the hospital. From everything you've said, ands the way TCHS is performing, it seems like it's only a very small factor.
But removal of all of those rely clauses on all of the stocks would make much more sense, as they are inaccurate and misleading.
I've been asked questions about these 'indicators' numerous times and anytime I see the question posted in the forums I try to respond as simple and as straight forward as possible "IGNORE THEM, they have no impact on the stock price"
[Reading here, I am wrong, apparently there is SOME effect on stock price - good info is its based purely off the previous day, so to prevent massive spikes/crashes the impact is very limited]
But the most important question that I think needs to be considered is if someone is trying to get involved in stocks is this information helpful or hurtful? Is there any benefit to this being anywhere on the stock pages, or would it be best served in a patch note as a 'hidden modifier' that the everyday player would be best served to ignore?
