My guess is fewer than show up at a Magic: the Gathering Online Exchange staff meeting. And when the meeting broke up they probably began a three hour bragathon about their exploits playing video games.

Let's not bash video games. That's how I blow off steam after a day of trading complex options (and/or mundane mutual funds)

If you day-traded bitcoins, I bet you'd be hitting the hard stuff instead of playing video games

I play video games as well, but mainly I pbem wargames. And rather than day trading I deal with tax issues for clients.

I don't know what this means but I now think you are some type of warmonger.

I'm currently trying to win WWII against Japan. The game is called War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition. It is quite challenging to manage all Allied forces (down to individual ships) in the Pacific theater. Since we are only in June 1942 I am on the defensive, and my opponent, with the benefit of hindsight, has done better than the Japanese did historically.

When I eventually have the initiative I expect to do better than historically as well having the same benefits of hindsight.

It's down 20% from where it was when you were posting its price Sunday night.
