FOOD CONTEST - 500b entry to get in (White Giant)

There is interest in having a contest to find out who can get the largest market value out of a FOOD corp in a set amount of time.

The entry fee will be 500b in game cash. Winner takes all. The contest will run for 3 real months to begin next Friday July 4th at 07:00 am Eastern Standard Time (New York time) and ending at 06:59 am on Friday September 5th (same time zone)

Each contestant will be starting from scratch, THE SAME state run FOOD corp. Every player will be allowed to vote on which corp we all will build. The corporation choices to vote on are below.

When the contest begins, each contestant will start from scratch, the chosen FOOD corp in one of their countries, (Preferably your main to avoid any loss due to wars).

This corp will be started as a state owned corp.

It may not be a CEO corp unless it has been IPO'd AFTER it reaches 200b in market value.
Until it reaches 200B in market value it must remain a state run corp.

You may nationalize it to protect it from hostile bidders, (anybody that hostiles a food corp needs their head examined anyway).

After it reaches 200b in market value, you are free to IPO it and either take it private with a CEO (You must declare which ceo is getting it beforehand), or you may take it public as a country controlled public corporation or a ceo controlled public corporation as long as the controller is declared beforehand.

Any changes in control of the corp due to share sales needs to be announced as it happens.


The entity (CEO or country) that is the controller of the corp may NOT have another of the same type of corporation in it's control during this competition. This will be an automatic disqualification and your entry fee won't be refunded.

The choices for FOOD corp type to vote on are these 6:
1) Bread
2) Eggs
3) Fish
4) Milk
5) Rice
6) Vegetables

They are all in shortages presently on WG. It won't be difficult to get them profitable.

The most votes tallied by the entrants for what corp to build will be declared the corp for all of us to build and manage.

Please post your name in this thread if you are interested or have any questions or concerns.

The corporation with the highest MARKET VALUE will be declared the winner and the pot will be the reward. It's a winner take all pot. 2nd place is just the first loser.

what about other food products huh smarty:P

Other Food Products has almost 1000 corps making it, so it would already be in many peoples' countries.

Rice with 129 corps and Eggs with 74 corps may not work well since both are close to meeting world demand and adding 10-20 corps for the competition would drive them to be unprofitable.

OFP is a winner corp type, it would kinda defeat the purpose, don't you think def?

and the point of this it making an unprofitable corps profitable...

i'm in this, i'll vote later as to what i want

I guess this is an okay idea I don't think I'll join. In Latveria I do have a vegetable corp that is worth 400 B so it is possible, however my food corps in DOOM Enterprises are less well off .

Have fun guys

Well I cast my vote for either FISH, MILK, or VEGETABLES.

I don't really care to be honest but would prefer any of those.

T

I don't care either, but I like fish. So lets go with fish.

How does FISH smell, er sound, to you guys?

thing about fish, milk and veggies, i know they can all be winners, i've tries them in the past, what were the other choices?

i guess my choices would be bread or rice, the point of this contest is to go for something that doesn't "win," and make it a winner...

eggs? eggs are my choice, i'm always the odd guy out, but as far as i can tell eggs are a big loser, lets go for that...

my official vote is eggs!!!

ok we have 2 fish and one eggs vote....anyone else?

I vote for bananas. ;-P

Just kidding. I'm going to join this and my vote goes for Fish. I like fish. Specially tuna. I'm going to start a poll to implement Tuna corps.

TUNA? TUNA? You can't handle the TUNA!:P


I'll vote for fish. I guess other food products will just be my mistress for now.

ok 4 fish and one eggs. We have the makings of a nice fish omelet. yummy......Just think of the protein.

Any more votes? You guys have til 07:00 tomorrow morning to cast the vote. Friday morning the contest begins.

T

Let the fishiness begin!!!!!!

I think we should raise the stakes tho, 500B is chump change.

Well it's more for posterity and bragging rights really. The kitty is just icing.

Hey what the heck I guess I am in as well... But something sure smells fishy around here...

Ok guys......here we go,

The Corporation to build is FISH. It must be built in one of your countries as a state owned corporation. You may build it anytime after 07:00 eastern standard time on the 4th.

Please post in this thread your name, country it is built in and the corp name. I will contact all participants for their part of the pot.

Good luck to all.
