I dont see any thing wrong with it if people want to do it, although I
do see a lto of problems with a global stock excahge , namely trust
However why not start with a local stock exchamnge such as the newyork,
toyko, toronot.  Allow only people that you are alleys with to be
involved, or such.,

I may sound a bit crazy, but there could be some people
for which the stock exchange is a fantasy like game.
They live in very dangerous world, every day they fight
with dragons and become kings. Let them their game, they
also want to relax.

But I thing that Atlantis is strategic fantasy game.
They may ask Geoff to settle for them an Atlantis clone
without magic, and elves and dwarves and with some
ASE (Atlantis Stock Exchange) companies. I will not join
this game.

Long live the fantasy worlds in our minds (at least).

Hi you scewengers and other creatures wiggling around in wastelands of
Atlantis.

Please allow a tiny request from a subject heading for Valhall next turn.

I'm making an free to use utility to get graphic view of Atlantis.
There will be automated reading of reports,orders,showing of stats,
sort routines i.e. all neccessary to keep you informed while playing.

I want to cooporate with a few persons with hughe knowledge of all kind of
variables in Atlantis.

As I said,I'm a newbie and don't know nothing but those tiny variables given
in rules and newbie-report.

Call me ,get your name on the frontpage of the new comming utility.

Reply to:   RE>Elves, dwarves & Capitalism

Atlantis is a "fantasy" game, but everyone has their own flavors of fantasy.
If discussion of one faction's dreams of "capitalism" offends you, please
ignore it and concentrate on your own dreams.  Atlantis is a big enough game
for everyone to find their niche.

Subject: Stocks and Banks

The possibility of such things as banks and stock markets are what make
Atlantis appealing. Since this game is made not to be "won", but played
and enjoyed, I beleive that there is enough trust in the world to start
such operations. To anyone who would like to start such a venture, you
have my full support.

To any Lord, in the forest of Corinth, (47,55) :

3 of my guys in this forest are weaponsmiths. So if you have
wood (or iron), I could produce weapons for you.

Are you (or any of your friends) interested ?

Please answer quickly, they're waiting for my orders !

PS: I also have 1 weaponsmith in the SW forest (46,56).
    Same proposition for him.			^^^^^
