characters and was wondering what would be the best way to handle this?
I was thinking non-voting shares only.
The two things that have to be taken into account (there may be more but
I don't realise it) are:
1) Market Fluctuations
2) Dividends (I think that's the right word for the little ammount you
get per share with some stocks every so often)
Dividends are (fairly) easy ... just something like 1% money spent on
stock per 3 months or so ...
The problem is market fluctuations ... the simplest thing would be to say
that the market is fairly steady or give the stock a fixed % growth per
year (basicly an interest rate.). Other options include some kind of die
roll or saying the stock follows some RL stock (too much work for me ...
I don't want to check the stocks section of the paper every once in a
while for this ...)
What do you think?
