Hi Guys,
I'm beginning some of the "brainstorming" and basic development for turning bigval's "Follywood" into an automated game here on the site, but I'm running into a lot of roadblocks. I like Sun's idea, which has a movie becoming more expensive as more people "buy" it, and less expensive as more people sell it back later. Anyone can buy a movie, and from then on, they receive the money it grosses. It's not like an auction; it's more like a stock market.
Now, one problem with that setup is that we'd have to decide how to price things. How much does it go up each time someone buys a "share"? How much should it principally cost? I assume the earnings are "split" amongst all the people who buy it? Do we have enough people interested to enter into such a system?
Let me know what you guys thinking. There IS always the possibility of two different versions, but one is ideal. So throw your ideas here...good, bad, etc. Right now, if I had to choose, I'd go with a stockmarket where you can buy a movie as many times as you want, and the earnings each weekend are devided amongst the people who own shares.
