Brink, do you mind checking to see if I am on the list? I created my profile on 12/5 but I can't do anything in the game. Not sure if I didn't follow through somehow on the website.

Will check on Monday.

ETA: not sure there is anything I can do if you are not in. I am not sure what kind of "powers" I have as admin. I do know that I can remove players so you fools better be on your best behavior.

Well, you win some, you lose some. And then, you just flat out dominated in some (Utah, Oklahoma, Ohio St.).

Frankly I thought bama had the game in the bag halfway through the first half. It looked like they were going to blow out the OSU team.

All I can figure is that some of the Alabama players started thinking the same thing. It was like the teams changed uniforms in the locker room at halftime.

Yeah, when they went up 21-6 and Reuben Foster fosterized someone on the kickoff, I was feeling good. By halftime I did not have a good feeling at all. I never thought I would see someone dominate Bama, with Saban at the helm, and something on the line while he was there. Boy was I wrong.

I'm ok with it if the money goes to charity.

Brink, the MarketWatch main screen shows we have 78 players enrolled in our game but the ranking screen only shows 36 players ranked.

Any idea why that is?


I noticed I was not on the leaderboard until after I made my first trade. A few weeks ago I set up a list of trades for how I visioned my portfolio to appear in the case I did not get around to the game on Jan 2nd. Unfortunately I never returned to the game to check my account in the meantime and my trades were lost over time (I assumed the way things worked in my head would apply to the game).

When I logged in yesterday afternoon before closing, I was able to push a few trades through and my account registered on the rankings screen. I imagine fellow TD posters may have had the same fate.

Thanks for the explanation and confirmation of what NBR thought.

So until a player does not make at least one trade, he doesn't show up in the rankings.

The whole buying and selling part is annoying as hell on android.

I guess the name of the game is to hold nothing and exclusively short/cover throughout the day.

I'm going to treat it as a buy and hold deal personally. Mostly because I don't have time to short/cover throughout the day.

It seems so. I just can't bring myself to short that many shares even with play money.

The downside of shorting is a trader has to really pay attention to the prices. If the security starts going up in price quickly, the short position can lose a lot of money very quickly unless the person puts in a stop loss cover order. But even so that just guarantees a smaller loss.
