Celebdaq is a stock exchange trading game, based on how many newspaper column inches celebrities gain each week. You buy and sell shares in any celebs you want with the aim of making an obscene profit! We used to play this on GT and I've started up a league for anyone here who fancies playing for a while - The Elenardians! Let me know your user NUMBER on this thread and I can add you to the league! I'm off to spend £10,000 on shares! I-mogen  And your user ID number... This post has been edited by bart: Apr 17 2004, 08:51 PM

It's that day again. The weekend is coming, the weather's nice and someone's about to leave the Big Brother UK house. Elsewhere in life, Celebdaq has just paid out dividends. Therefore, it is perfect timing for the Elenardian leaderboard. Here it is: | QUOTE (Celebdaq) | 1 (1) thenome (3717954) 1144150 +170.36%
2 (2) alienmarmalade (3708778) 1044886 +59.07%
3 (4) QuickHare (3715213) 1020359 +56.73%
4 (6) Hershey13 (3716303) 37967 +4.21%
5 (7) MathGeek (3715480) 42558 +3.63%
6 (8) the invisible man (3323784) 8010000 +0.00%
7 (3) gtyoda (2980985) 2350030 -1.79%
8 (5) bart_154ce (3708783) 1992338 -5.14% |
Those interested to know will notice that Yoda is plummeting, and is lower than Tim (the invisible man), who has yet to buy any shares yet. Therefore, Yoda invested wisely and lost his money as expected.
Nome is on top. Well done, but I'm rising through the ranks to hopefully overtake both Imogen and Nome in a week or two.
Bart did badly. Real bad. Will Rooney save him this time? Probably not.
Finally, Hershey and HG have gone up in the world thanks to Yoda and Bart's demise. They make sure Yoda stays near the bottom.
I think I've mentioned everyone. If I haven't, you're on the board somewhere!
