"Occupy Assetshare"

That didn't take long.


I saw a news story about hardcore Black Friday shoppers a day ago or so, with a picture of a Best Buy store that had tents set up outside. All I could think was, "Occupy Best Buy."

Next summer, I might have to take my son to "Occupy Blue Ridge Parkway Campground."

Hello Gents;

After much effort I am rolling out WITP/AE Assetshare (v1.02)


This will allow WITP/AE players to trade or sell in-game assets ACROSS games. For example, let's say you are playing the Allies in Scenario 1 and you lose all your carriers in late 1942. You can sit and wait for the Essex class or you can do something about it. This software allows you to trade for or purchase a couple of Yorktown-class carriers from another player who has more resources in another game.

To get the ball rolling, I am putting up for sale a number of items:

1) USS Washington (after 10/42 AAA suite upgrade, crew experience 56/65, float planes included).............. $75

2) USS Long Island (with 18 plane VMF F4F squadron)....... $45

3) 90th BS(M) USAAF (B-25C avg crew experience 68).......... $90

All prices US. VISA/MC/DISCOVER. Please feel free to post your goods in the "MARKETPLACE" section*

Credit / asset default swaps...I like it. We'd have to 'ring-fence' the market to avoid subprime risk contagion on the smaller asset classes too.

Look, clearly there can only be certain large sovereign bidders for the Essex classes. But Costa Rica or Lesotho can afford a PB or even a Hermes class, right? At least a deep-in-the-money call option on future delivery of same.

Does this assetshare program allow for bartering? For example, this hypothetical situation: I don't have money to spare, but I have 7 nice old pre-war US battlewagons because my opponent failed to pull off a decent Pearl Harbor attack. However, I got bold and lost some carriers in mid 1942. Now those old BBs are useless since the US navy won't be on the offensive...but perhaps there is someone who lost all 7 old war BBs at Pearl but thrashed the KB in '42. So he needs the BBs and I need the CVs. Does your program allow for this? Or is it just some sort of real world way to make back the $90 entry fee for the game? (like farming or whatever it is in WoW, minus the doing work since the ships come of their own accord)

The first thing you need is a settlements house. You could put this out to tender and I'm certain you will receive bids from

• M&M Enterprises, Settlements Division
  
• M&M Enterprises, Scrip Clearing House Division
  
• M&M Enterprises, Registry Services Division
  

The second point is that most bourses allow short selling. I see no difference between short selling and the situation described in post #15. There is no real need to establish any type of insurance to cover the situation described in post #15, but for the more timid traders, I'm certain that M&M Enterprises, Reinsurance Division would cover any products developed and offered by M&M Enterprises, General Insurance Division to ally the fears of timid traders.

Rather than taking out some type of insurance (including any type of credit default swaps) the trader seeking peace of mind could undertake the traditional methods of:

• taking an opposite position relying on arbitrage to make a profit
  
• borrowing the underlying asset from M&M Enterprises, Virtual Shipyard Construction Division
  
• transfer to WWII (d)
  

Bottom line is that with the highly integrated conglomerate and extensive business connections which characterise M&M Enterprises, I see no drawbacks but only opportunities for this wonderful new business opportunity.

Mr. Stark;

The standard approach would be, of course, to first sell some of the pre-war BB's to generate cash and then try to buy a CV. Now, on the other hand, if you are one of those 1% Wall Street insiders and you are just trying to skirt capital gains taxes with an off-the-radar trade, you could try www.gypseyexchange.com

The will never 1099 you....well, that's what I heard.

Now, as to the question of recouping the purchase price, my tax advisor told me that I could use the purchase price as the "cost basis" on the first trade with a gain...but only once. You might be able to get away with a home office deduction on Schedule C but you would have to keep some kind of contemporaneous records if you use the computer for any other purposes. Similarly, I think you would have to claim you don't get any enjoyment out of actually "playing" WITP/AE. I am going to try this strategy. I figure if I am audited I will refer them to one of the threads on Japanese production or pilot management and that will pretty much satisfy them.
