We initially considered doing it with cruisers as well.
But wanted to 'test the waters' first with the Bships.
I'm glad we did - It's a paperwork/logistics nightmare doing this tbh... (more than I initially expected)
Adding all the cruisers as well... /me shivers.

WOW...very impressive neuron pathways in that brain of yours...to see how this game(a player evolving and run economy) is changing. I love the concept and more so..I love the fact that "anybody' who is in EVE can participate...correct?...."anybody"?

Correct anyone can 'take part' in The BIG Deal.
The BIG Deal is mostly created in order to allow those else not able, to get a chance of owning (a share at least) of a Bship blueprint.
Everyone else is of course welcome to take advantage of The BIG Deal as well.
Like the BIG Lottery it's a 'non-political' 'thing' (which some CFS members can testify to during the short war between CFS and FA - The BIG Deal was stil honoured)

I would like to offer the following service to those partaking in the BIG Deal: Buying of 1/10 Shares from players that need ISK NOW.
I actually don't know if this is an issue and I bet most of the investors in the BIG DEAL are in for the long run like me, but if anyone needs to raise FAST ISK I am willing to buy thier 1/10 share at 80% of face value for either Amarr battle ship and 60% of face value for others.
Notes and Disclaimers: Myself and my corp. are not affiliated with BIG. This is meant to help out distressed holders and not take anything away from the deal being offered by BIG. I myself am a holder of several 1/10 shares with BIG and am very happy with the service and support provided by TornSoul. I am trying to complete Amarr ship originals and would look at this as a benefit for me (lower cost of a share toward my goal) and someone who has decided that they have enough BPCs and/or fulltime BS building is not for them and they need their ISK for something else. This is not meant to be a burden on TornSoul and transfer of shares requires BIG approval. Last disclaimer - availability to support my offer is limited on my wallet....so if you need to sell multiple shares we may need to negotiate time for me to sell minerals.

Regarding Dreck Morrison's offer of buying up shares from current shareholders:
I like it - Go for it 
Who knows - In a distant(?) future The BIG Deal shares might be traded, just like any other commodity on the market.
I would personally love to see that happen

It only just occured to me...
With 83 sold shares, we've actually sold enough shares to cover all of the BS BPo's available in EVE - and a bit (as theres 10 shares to each BPo)
Another milestone (bit late with the news but hey )
The 83 shares sold are distributed as follows:
47 lvl 1 BS shares
36 lvl 2 BS shares
Another milestone is that we've passed the 7B ISK mark as well (value of shares sold).

Last weekly evemail says the max duration for the escrow missions is now 7 days.
To me that's really annoying. I don't really want to come to Fricoure every week.
What was the motivation behind this decision ? |

That's the new max length of escrow missions. It's not Big's policy, there is just no other way for them to list it, afaik.

CCP changed the max duration you can set for an escrow mission to 7 days. I think it was to get rid of some of the escrow spam, or at least make it more annoying for the people who do it. Its not BIG's fault.

OK, thanks. I must have missed it when I read the patch notes.

Trust me, noone is more annoyed about this change to 7 days max than I am...
7 days is simply to short IMO...
Every shareholder have recieved the following text attached to the usual payout mail (and will for a week or so yet)
Quote:
IMPORTANT : Escrow missions now have a max duration of 7 days.
We will not be putting up the prints again, should you fail to pickup the escrow before the time is up, and the print(s) will become BIG property
There are actaully several reason for why I dont want to have to re-make misions.
One reason is the obvious one - It's even more work for me...
Another one is that I have no way of knowing which missions are not picked up... Sadly the wallet entries only tell me that a mission has been collected, but not by who (why is it that with any market transaction the name of thr buyer is in your wallet - but not with escrows  )
The effect is, that when a missions times out, the BPc simply lands in my hangar, and I cant croscheck my wallet to see who has picked up their BPc's and who has not.
So someone *could* (not saying any of the shareholder *would*) take advantage of this, and claim they havent picked up their BPc while infact they have... I have no way of knowing.. So I would open up myself to be 'scammed' if I agreed to put up timed out missions again...
So to not 'tempt' anyone in the first place - I prefer to not leave open the option in the first place.
7 days max s.ucks...

I know it by now is an impossible long thread to look through - But the question has actually been answered before many times.
There are no shortcuts to ME levels via The BIG Deal.
Everyone has to put in the time to get their share researched - ie. everyone starts at ME0.
Just the other day (4-5 days ago) I had to buy our 3rd Megathron Original, becuase the privious ones where 'sold out' as it where.
How would we be putting out ME x copies from that original right away? Cant be done...
So - Once again : The BIG Deal is *not* a shortcut to ME levels - You'll have to 'sacrifice' the time it takes to research it.

This is a fantastic deal BIG, well done there. I recall a post earlier in which someone offered to buy BIG deal shares at 80% or 60% of their initial sell price. I am also interested in purchasing BIG shares, but I am willing to pay more, based on the ammount of research that has been done on the share. Eve-mail me in game at jimmychopps if you are interested in selling your researched BIG share for any of the eight ships.

Another bump for tournsoul, who is always most courteous to deal with.
currently looking to sell my 2 shares, both in the megathron, researched to ME 5.
if anyone is interested, evemail me ingame, preferably with an offer.
Will contact tournsoul soon to see if BIG will act as an intermediary, rather than having to trust me with your money outright.
Cheers,

Torn can you mail me ingame the cost per share? I want that hundreth share if I can afford to get it :)
Also How long is the research time per ME level? That way I can plan share purchases accordingly.
*Disclaimer* Random Babble is quite possible |

Today is the 6 month anniversary of The BIG Deal
The BIG Deal was first announced to the public on 2003.10.08 (see the first post in this thread)
Celebrating The BIG Deal we are 'upgrading' it.
Many (impatient people?) have over time asked if it wasnt possible to get ME5 BPc's straight away without having to invest time researching.
Now you can 
For an extra price of roughly 4%-5% you can now get BP ME5 BPc's straight away with The BIG Deal
Tier 2 bships : 25M ISK (per share) ontop of the share price
Tier 1 bships : 15M ISK (per share) ontop of the share price
(We've opted to keep it simple - and have one cost for all of the tier 1 shares and one for all the tier 2 shares.)
If you plan to buy multiple shares (or indeed go for the original over time) - One approach could be to pay the fee for the first one or two shares to 'get of the ground', and then *not* do so on the remaining shares (unless you are constantly running out of prints ofc).
It's entirely up to you, which (and how many) shares you want to start at ME5 or not.
Also - You can do this in any order you wish as well (ie. 'mix&match' shares you start at ME5 or not)
Please note that it *could* occur that we for a particular print (for a limited time) will be unable to offer the 'ME5 straight away' deal.
In the highly unlikely event of this occuring, you will of course be informed of this before any deal is finalized.
(Warning - Math below )
At a first glance this looks like a 20% to 24% extra cost per share (depending on the share)
But it's actually not as bad as that 
You have to remember that you are actually getting extra BPc's for the 15M/25M ISK 'fee' - 2.9 extra BPc's to be excact (the amount of BPc's you'll get paid out extra as opposed to waiting for the research)
You are in effect buying 2.9 BPc's with the fee.
This translates to the following price per (extra) BPc
Tier 2 : 8,620,690 ISK
Tier 1 : 5,172,414 ISK
While this is slightly over current marketprices for the prints - It's not by a whole lot.
It's the difference between the above BPc prices and market prices thats the true extra cost, *not* the 15M/25M.
Remember you are making a lot of the 15M/25M back by selling the extra BPc's you get (or if you use them for building - You likewise save some money (=earn) by not having to buy those prints on the market).
But be aware it's ofc still an extra cost - and you should consider carefully if you cant wait for the research to get done instead (That would be my personal choice any day).
But - If you are impatient, you now have the option of getting ME5 prints right away.

It's business as usual guys. All the shareholders recieve their regular "harvest".
Contact Tornsoul about getting into the program - though I'm not sure how eager he is to sell more shares.
Remember running this stuff is somewhat taxing on his time.

Uh - been awhile since I've paid attention to this one - bad me...
But... I've been kinda busy with those "issues in fountain"
As Slam has already posted - It's "Business as usual".
Any situation in Fountain (or elsewhere for that matter) has no bearing on The BIG Deal what so ever.
So yes - The BIG Deal is still going on (and will continue to)
Contact point for info regarding The BIG Deal is as always yours truly.
Prefered contact is via email : [email protected]
Secondary via ingame direct convo.
If you *must* you can ofc use the ingame mail as well....
(Could we please get folders for our inbox... I got like 200-400 contacts in there (and no I havent actually counted them) - now that the "sort by unread" is broken its a nightmare... So please dont use it to reach me unless you feel you *have to*)
Ops a bit 'off topic' there... (one of my 'pet grieves' atm...)
Oh and yes we(I) are still glad to sell shares - We are getting very near to that 100th share sold - so dont be shy
