mircea_popescu: what do you plan to do now tho ? increase holdings factor ? or ?

mircea_popescu: DeaDTerra i'd say no permanent damage done, really. some people overpaid on glbse, but mmm... well... i guess their bad really.

mircea_popescu: there's plenty of room there for the ~500 btc glbse volume so far, so.

mircea_popescu: you're in time to get this batch and everything.

mircea_popescu: there were supply problems on that side which distorted the true volume tho.

mircea_popescu: ColdHardMetal so far glbse volume is technically not in mpex because we're only now working with DeaDTerra to get him through

mircea_popescu: seems the bid is still 40 not 32 or 34. but yea, prolly wise to buy first s.dice then issue more.

mircea_popescu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vaux-le-Vicomte_01.jpg this is a decent little country cottage wouldn't you say.

mircea_popescu: you need to issue more shares omg!

mircea_popescu: ;;rate smickles 4 He's been running MPOE.ETF and releasing THE monthly reports, a model for all Bitcoin financial reporting. Also handled k's of BTC as broker for various clients.

mircea_popescu: as they say, the internet will rout around anything.

mircea_popescu: but if you want to get in you can prolly talk to smickles.

mircea_popescu: hctib we're kinda waiting for him to come backl online.

mircea_popescu: these people. they mean so well and do so much damage by it :(

mircea_popescu: This is a true risk that you face as an investor, and something that all game investors face. I've had a hardcore, mostly mainstream taste in games for 20 years, and believe I'm self aware enough to know when I'm enjoying something because it's fun, or I'm playing something because I've been skinner boxed.

mircea_popescu: 6) What if you make a really shitty game that doesn't sell any copies?

mircea_popescu: i'm in awe of the internets.

mircea_popescu: Previous to this I set up and ran a simmer sauce manufacturing business (www.ameetshomestyle.com) on a dime, so I do have experience in organizing complex problems into more manageable chunks to create a cohesive, commercial grade whole, all on a deadline.

mircea_popescu: she and her sister "right now" have the complete collection of VD (verbal diseases)

mircea_popescu: i like "at the moment". it's like a whore, this expression.

mircea_popescu: at the moment.

mircea_popescu: This is an understandable concern, considering I'm essentially doing this on my own at the moment.

mircea_popescu: 2) You don't have a large team working on the game, what if it never finishes?

mircea_popescu: we don't have a distribution deal tho.

mircea_popescu: The lack of space games has indeed driven the production of several games recently. However, all games so far have tried to recapture old ground

mircea_popescu: 1) Space is "in" but may soon be "out" - There are several games set in space that have been released recently, as well as a few on the horizon, and most aren't selling well. How will this effect BTNG?

mircea_popescu: srsly, in spite of all the bitching and sillyness people are willing to learn it seems.

mircea_popescu: i like that they copied the trached system used for bvps/dice tho

mircea_popescu: Price? 10,000 shares are going up for grabs initially, so for a 1% stake in net profit you would be looking to own 500 shares. The IPO (on GLBSE) will offer shares at the following rates:

mircea_popescu: what's riskier than a video game ?

mircea_popescu: Battalion: Genesis, a 3D video game set in 2252 AD needs you! Well, investors, that is. This Initial Public Offering is a serious attempt aimed at raising funds to support this real world project, with an estimated 12-18 months of development remaining.

mircea_popescu: what the heck else would it be ?

mircea_popescu: why should .a turn into a turd ?
