I had reserved a lonely B in your swiftly sold-out 200B+ IPO-that-never-was.
I like the idea of investing money in people who have what I believe to be a solid business plan that makes some sense to me; where they bring time, experience and expertise to the table and where I think I know (probably wrongly most of the time, but hey) what I'm getting into. I have to trust that the person managing the business is going to be making all the best decisions to make my iskies work harder and better.
I think I can see where this new plan is coming from, but it doesn't float my boat anymore... Bizarrely, I liked the idea of giving you my iskies to pretty much do what you liked with given your prior history of producing returns. But the idea of me having to make decisions regarding the volume and profitability of Race X's ships and thingummies versus Race Y's ships and thingummies fills me with paralysed horror.
So I won't be investing in this, I'm afraid, not that a B will make much odds given the ridiculous individual wealth on display in MD . But can I have a cookie for being the world's laziest small investor-wannabe? ------------------------------------------------- When Carebears Attack! <-- Hulk PvP video |

Im intriegued, even if it doesnt make alot of isk, id love to see Gallante prove to be the most profitable IPO (deluded nationalist that I am), so will wait with interest (though if I do end up buying shares itl be no more than 10)

I would be interested in this venture but also have to question the logistics involved in running 4 different corps. Additionally you provided your email address which was an address to a navy ship locaion. Which brings up some important questions for me.
Are you in the navy currently?
Are you still with that ship listed in the email?
Are you out to sea atm?
If you are at sea, how can you guarantee you have enough time/access to the game to effectively run 4 corps.
If you are not at sea, when is your next deployement and will you then have time to run 4 corps.
Nothing against military life, but i am curious to see how much Eve time you would have on-board ship.
I do however like the expirimental nature of this business though. This is game is meant for fun ultimately and making money is great, but having fun is better. I am just not convinced you, (or one person for that matter) can run this type of venture alone.

I have kept it no secret I am in the Navy. I am also currently onboard a ship that is on a 7mth deployment. Once the ship gets back we will have a few small 1 to 3 week deployments for about 3-5mths and then we go into the Ship Yards for over a year. So the first few months will be ruff, but with what I am going into, I can put things into production for 1-2 weeks so when I get back I just have more to sell than build, put BPO's into Copy slots for 2 weeks at a time, which may not make great isk, but it still generates isk.
I ran my last IPO while being a Recruiter with hours from 8am until 8pm 6 days a week. I was still able to prove I can run an IPO then, and will prove I can run this one as well.
So will being in the Navy Effect my dividends, absoulutly, but I guerentee anyone that runs any type of IPO could pay better dividends if it was not for work, sleep, and things of that nature. -----------------------------------------------

WTF Proton! Stop being a lazy bastard and just stay at home on social security, move your desk and fridge to the toilet and sleep during downtime! 
On a serious note though, Eve is a game (gasp!... yes, only a game), and anyone who expect you to drop life in favour of an IPO is someone whose opinion is not worth listening to.
Look forward to seeing how it works.

Sorry Leona, no reservations (3rd paragraph UP from end), and a maximum of 250 million ISK (end paragraph) in each racial IPO.
Come on PP, keep up  |

Well, I'd definately be interested in investing. Though my present capability to do so is slightly limited. Mostly I just have dividends from various investments saved up and RL is keeping me too buisy to play EVE-O. None the less I hope this is something I dont miss.

Originally by: Proton Power All characters have been created. All Corps have been created. All Shares in progress of being created.
Everything is still on Track with this project. Anyone else have questions, concerns, comments... Looks like I will open up share sales on the 15th at 0001. I will send out a character list so you can invest in your paticular race that you choose.
Hope things are okay.
Does this mean the IPO is delayed or cancelled? Or can we make reservations pending the character list posting?

Few problems have come up, soon as I have work arounds for those problems I will open the sale of shares up. Tonight I will verify all Corps, Characters and Shares are ready, looks like it will be about a 5 day delay.
Not taking reservations sorry, and as stated by some others will be 250mil Max Investment into Each IPO.
Thanks in advance for patiance. -----------------------------------------------

Really? Even if I found this IPO worth investing in that right there would make it too much trouble to make it worth it. I can understand having some max investment, but 250 mil? A lot of people here never invest less than 1b at a time. Granted, they could do that by spreading it across all 4 races... but that goes against the idea of picking and choosing which you think will be the most profitable and it also means we'd have to track 4 separate IPO's.
I'd suggest a 1b investment cap at launch per person, split any way they'd like among the 4 IPO's... but that's just me.

Edited by: LaVista Vista on 16/02/2008 16:23:10 Yeah, ill agree here. 250mill/IPO isnt a lot. It only comes to 1bill/person.
You should rather make it max 25bill/person, or 6,25bill/IPO(Ok, thats maybe a bit much, but you get the drill, 1bill isnt enough)

If I read it correctly, each IPO is 7B, so 6.25B max seems to be a bit high. 250M seems to be ok for a 7B IPO.

Wait, really? I could swear that the plan originally was 250bill 
EDIT: Your right. Then 250 seems fine.

Right now each IPO is 14bil totaling 56bil Isk Total.
I am buying 50% of the shares on each IPO so that I hold the controlling share at all times.
Once I feel things are running smoothly, and that I have the time and the way to use more isk it may go up.
For now 250mil Per IPO is Maximum. If you only invest in 1bil isk projects or higher then I appologize this is probably not the IPO for you. -----------------------------------------------

Sorry to say my wife has talked me out of doing this. She asked me why I want to do it, which I don't have a good answer for, and then she asked me not to do it due to time restrictions.
If anyone wants to use this idea please go ahead and do so, its not a bad plan, and you can make some decent isk if you do it right.
Sorry about all the plans and threads for nothing. -----------------------------------------------

Here's hoping you get a nice return on your investment. After all, now that Valentines is out of the way, March 14th is coming up
