1. What is your name?

John Johnson. It's best not to have a face.

2. What is your favourite colour?

Blue. No wait, I mean yellow!!!

3. How does selling an asset affect the balance sheet?

I deposit money into a dummy account, and therefor "purchase" the item. The reported balance sheet increases.

4. Why would you like to join EBANK?

I need to perfect my abilities in this real world simulation, I put glitter on my nametag to attract people.

5. What position(s) are you applying for?

I need to remodel my bathroom, what would you recommend?

6. What makes you qualified to assume that role(s)?

People look at good information and rarely instinctively suspect much.

7. Do you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct?

Nobody ever reads those. Ignorance is bliss.

8. How many hours per week do you realistically expect to commit to your EBANK duties?

Well I work 40 hours a week, sleep about 40, and play with myself the other 40. Pretty sure my schedule is pretty tight, but I can fit in some lip service here and there. I'll let you know if I am running a deficit in a couple of years.

9a. What was your initial reaction upon hearing of the EBANK deficit?



9b. Has your opinion changed since then?



10. Can banking in EVE exist without regulation or insurance?

Maybe.


11. Describe a particular instance in your life where you have had to work closely with others; detailing the successes, failures and any issues you encountered.


Obviously, what you have to say in opening statement is of importance in creating investor belief in your character and credibility. You don't convince investors merely by pointing your good looking nametag at them. But, how you look, what you do, and how you do it may matter more at the beginning of the IPO in building investor confidence than what you say. Nonverbal cues such as personal grooming, dress, jewelry; facial expression, gestures, and mannerisms play a part in establishing your ethos (integrity and credibility). The quality of your voice, your posture, your hands, and your willingness to make eye contact all work to your persuasive advantage or disadvantage. I have discussed these aspects of nonverbal communication in connection with investor argument on another web site. Rather than repeat that material here, let me simply refer you to the search engine I used. Some things relative to your appearance cannot be altered. For example, even though the MD elite with mature faces may be accorded more credibility than little fishes with more childlike "Howdy Doody" faces, young traders can't and wouldn't want to put gray in their hair and wrinkles on their brows and necks. Weight and body tone is a factor that may or may not be within the advocate's power to control. But every trial advocate can do things with head and facial hair, dress, grooming, jewelry, etc., to enhance his/her physical appearance. The goal is to maximize physical appearance in a manner that cues the jury to the lawyer's competence, friendliness, and trustworthiness. Just remember that it is human nature to do what people we like ask us to do. Be pleasant and courteous in demeanor and willing to smile when appropriate.

Oh I was supposed to answer your question? Eh, too late now.

12. Would you rather have 1b ISK now, or 1 ISK that doubles every day over the next month?

1b ISK obviously. Being short sighted is a requirement to run a large business. Trick questions catch the noobs.


ps: Q6 has a secret message.
