Maybe that's why some of the stocks are crashing... perhaps so that some new ones can take their place?! :shock:

You can't just end the old and build the new? It has to be this LOOOONG process? Speed! Haste! That's why you were elected!

I didn't see the word "speed" or "haste" anywhere in the job description. :noway:

No, seriously, sometimes you need to demonstrate patience once and a while. ;)

Guys! Just because it's crashing and your not making money you say it's pointless!?!?! No!!! The ToO stock market regularly has downward swings! It's a part of the Stock Cycle! If it never went down, we'd have stocks going into the millions in an extended period of time, and only the rich would be able to benefit, due to the fact that n00bs wouldn't have enough money to buy them, and we'd therefore have to raise the job pay, and than raise item prices... and on and on and on down this needless vicious cycle caused by one team's choice to heed the foolish, unfounded short-time wants of the masses!!! Can we, who suposidly want the good of the ToO, do this? Nay! Shadowpaw forbid we should commit this crime!!! Think before making such decisions! Think about the LONG TERM consequences of your actions!! Think about the fact you broke the long-standing tradition of making the election opponents mods, and therefore giving way to an overly competitive spirit that threatens the ruin of the ToO as a whole!!!
