I know this is very cynical but if Nico needs money badly then a bit of stock market speculation might be his answer.

Selling short on oil stocks with a closer date of end of trade on the 30 April should return a considerable profit if these 'oil shock' predictions turn out to be true.

If you don't know what this means you can look it up here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sell_short

If 8tsoc are serious maybe they should be willing to put their money where their mouth is Razz

Does anyone feel like suggesting it?

I made a suggestion about playing the market awhile ago on one of their LJ's, but it didn't really go anywhere. Also, I'm not sure I agree that going short on this would be wise as I think we'd see an increase in the price of oil securities, not a drop.

hi i'm new to the game and this is my first time actually playing an arg so i'll probably mostly be stalking for a while but I thought i'd introduce myself and all that.

name's Jul, i actually had my aim, lj and vox all a long time ago and I'm going to actually try to use my real life ones to play the game (that should freak out some of my friends so it will be amusing at least).

i have to add you on aim for you to see me but I'm
ararejul
ararejul.livejournal.com
ararejul.vox.com

and just about anything else you can think of.

i'm really interested in why mpathy would be doing that scifi quiz (then using that to determine what kind of people they are) and i commented to it last night. and she doesn't seem to talk to people directly there so I guess I'll just watch for more updates from you guys while I settle in.

edit: I completely forgot to add that I put myself on the wayfaring map and it looks like I'm the only one in CO so far which is a bit interesting since it's the birthplace of the 8TSOC

On pachinko's live journal the April 24 image has a quote from Macbeth. Harper cries tis time tis time
(always glad to contribute Shakespeare into the mix;always happy to see Shakespeare in a game)

I can't read the background.

The Shakespeare reference comes from the Weird Sisters in the Scottish Play and is actually 'harpier' as opposed to 'harper'. (right on Pachinko - just misquoted but easily done)

It's a corruption of Harpy and appears to be a reference to a spirit creature or familiar for that sister. (the other two having mentioned a cat and a hedgehog) This begins the famous 'double double toil and trouble' speech wherein the sisters brew their odd mixture just before literally all hell breaks loose.

It certainly seems appropriately timed in our situation.

Well folks, I have sent out links and audio to native Bulgarians around the world, including an artist right here in my home town whom I located. I actually met with her, just showing up at her office and asking for help - I hope I didn't come off as too "out there", but she's an avant-garde artist, so I'm hoping this kind of thing might appeal to her. Several professors have confirmed independently that the language is indeed Bulgarian, so at the very least that lead is iron-clad. That said, both a professor at Cornell and the Bulgarian artist said they'd be happy to translate, but not until after the weeked. Grrr... Still, they're doing me the favor, so I'll take what I can get. Anyone else having luck with this?
