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!

And your user ID number...

Ha ha! I've got to gloat because this is probably the only week I'll ever beat you!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO David Beckham! I'm over £20,000 already. Mind you I had *no* idea who to buy for this week. Ended up getting shares in Michael Jackson bag.gif

I think the number you want for me is 2980985, if this doesn't work then I'll go and find another one at some point!

Yoda, wheeling and dealing again biggrin.gif

*blinks* I have money? *blinks a few more times then goes and checks* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahok, that money. Ahem *attempts not to look shifty. fails*

I think it's because that's my old account, I never stopped it when I managed to delete myself from the original gt league, but just kept changing targets every week. I believe the money there came from RotK cast, the OotP release and Matrix Trilogy cast members.

And for anyone noticing a theme, yep - I am continuing to just buy people from films or worthy contenders elsewhere e.g. JKR and...well, that's about it.

Yoda, cheat? moi? sly.gif

I tried to register with Celebdq, but found I was already a member of BBCi, so just logged in! UserID: 3715213.

Have yet to buy shares, so right now I've saved a lot of money! biggrin.gif

Can someone please tell me why Michael Jackson shares are going down? He was all over the newspapers this morning...
