I think it's about time we got in on this deal

I'd like to clear up one of the most common misconceptions about The BIG Deal.
The (sofar) 20 Billion ISK is not 'owned' by BIG - ie. it's not the 'property of BIG'.
It's the property of the shareholders - BIG doesnt see as much as 1 ISK of the 20 Billion ISK.
It's *all* invested in more Battleship Blueprints - Owned by the shareholders.
For The BIG Deal to work at all, BIG is actually sinking a substantial *additional* amount of our *own* ISK 'into the pot' (billions!)
The reason that we have to do this is that BIG is 'paying' for all the 'unsold' shares.
Whenever a print gets 'sold out' (ie. 10 shares sold in total) and the next (the 11th, 21st etc) share gets sold, BIG has to go out and buy a new battleship blueprint - Thus BIG has to 'front' the ISK for the not yet sold 9 shares.
Over time as more shares gets sold in that particular print BIG ofc 'makes back' the fronted ISK.
But with 8 different types of Battleship Blueprints, there is never a time where 'the books balance'.
At any given time there is always some (large number of) shares that BIG is 'paying for'.
"On average" that would be 5 shares per print (actually 4.5... - Think about it  )
'Worst case scenario' would be that we would have to front the ISK for 8*9 shares 
I hope that clears up any misconceptions about BIG simply pocketing the 20 Billion ISK - It's actually quite the opposite, BIG continually has a large amount of ISK tied up in The BIG Deal instead.
Oh and - Battleship BPo #25 was purchased yesterday

I'd say i was sorry, but i dont like lying 
Look on the bright side, at least this time you only have to put up half the cost instead of 90%

number 12, thats me !!
for those wondering if it's worth it, here how it worked for me:
cost of DOM BPO 625mill (basicly NPC price)
i think i bought my original a bit faster than most, but i still got 11 me5 bpc's, basicly free of charge, as my BPO only cost the normal 625mill.
In total i spent 625mil, got a dom BPO, 11 bpc's & saved a months lab time (reserch to me5 then making 11 bpc's). so i made out great  , Thanks BIG.
