Agreed. You passed me today, effectively knocking me out of the top 5. And I'd been returning CSX$800,000 everyday until today. Jiluong, too.

Well, since this is a beta, I'm trying to give them an idea for what can happen when people can trade a lot and take advantage of momentary price changes. Hopefully it will contribute to a better, more fair, and more accurate game/service in the end.

I must say, I've enjoyed the game immensely so far. I do have some concerns for the future, though.

A. When prices start to normalize 6 months down the road, is the game still going to have that sheer satisfaction it has now? For instance, if a vehicle has a projected production of 4,000 units and the stock price is $4, how much volume is that going to really generate? It might move a fraction of a cent over the course of a week.

B. This is especially true when you have thousands of people shorting/buying at that price. The stocks will eventually become immobile. I can already see that happening now. I remember I used to be able to really shift a stock with 1,000 shares. Now I have a helluva time moving it with 5,000 shares.

C. Eventually shorting is not going to be worth it. If a car has 9,000 units, and the price is at $10, it will take $90 to gain a measley $1. At some point, bought shares will become coveted items.

=====

I would recommend at some point transitioning the value of $1. Instead of 1,000, maybe make it 100 units, or even 10. It's pretty obvious how many units of a car will be produced within 1,000 units. It would be a lot more challenging at 100/$1 or 10/$1.

#64 of 65 CSX LOGIN by texasaustin

I have tried for 2 days (tuesday 28th & 29th) to log into the CSX game. I have a password & user id. I have logged in previously. Sometimes nothing happens when I click on CSX. Sometimes I get the password block but I am still unable to login. Is the game having problems or been suspended? When I click on "details" explaining the game, the lead goes nowhere.

There are no issues that I know of. Go to http://help.insideline.com/cgi-bin/insideline.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_icf_8=ht- tp://www.insideline.com&p_cv=1.218&p_pv=&p_prods=&p_cats=218&p_hidden_prods=&cat- _lvl1=218 and send me your username and email address so that I can confirm you login data on CSX. I would also clear out your cache in your browser and try again this morning.

Thanks,

Mike
