Just for the record, I want to thank you, **sdimbert** , for getting this thing rolling. Despite the fuckups, it’s been fun. ---

Just went to the site and clicked on “Create Competition”. Seems to be working now…as it probably couldn’t be worse than VSE, I think we should give it a go… So how are those numbers coming **sd**? Paul ---

While I was waiting for the stats to update, I created a new competition. Check it out [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=62613). ---

I checked and re-checked… the Virtual Stock Exchange rankings have not been updatated since Valentine’s Day. :mad: We’re going to leave VSE in our dust… head on over to the new thread (see my last post) and register for our new competition, SDMB-III at [http://www.marketplayer.com](http://www.marketplayer.com). I guess we will have to retroactively cancel Teeming Millionaires II… so, **pantom** gets to keep wearing the crown for the time being. See you at the new game! ---

Then I realized that we would have had to do this before market open on Wednesday, before the prices began updating again. Which means that unless someone else checked it Tuesday night, then the numbers I went through and wrote down for each player at about 3pm on Tuesday are gonna be about as close as possible to a final ranking (What can I say?–I was bored.) Unless otherwise instructed, I will start making the list…(sorry, **pantom** …) Paul BTW - I am far from being in the top, so no personal motive here 🙂 ---

::drumroll:: **And the VERY unofficial results of the Teeming Millionaires II Stock Market Challenge are…** [sub]did I mention these were unofficial? you got that, right? don’t shoot the messenger, OK? ::remembering that awful episode with **relic-11** , still having nightmares:: [/sub] ```auto NAME TOTAL VALUE 1 bibliophage $147,926 2 CnoteChris $140,492 3 JCThunder $129,523 4 corvus $116,875 5 pantom $114,924 6 LamarMundane $113,551 7 jantom $108,471 8 beakerxf $106,706 9 thinksnow $104,504 10 sdmb_beatle $104,267 11 Shylock $102,541 12 BearNenno $100,549 12 sd_teabag $100,549 14 Dignan1 $100,505 15 AdNoctum $100,110 16 robgruver $ 99,503 17 PaulTheYounger $ 97,673 18 Modian $ 91,610 19 sdimbert $ 90,720 20 superhead $ 85,152 21 Saltire $ 65,918 ``` I’ll leave it to **sdimbert** as to whether these results stand or not. Remember, this is how the competition looked at _almost_ close of market on Tuesday, after many had not been able to trade since the previous Friday…so I’m all for just scrapping the whole kit 'n caboodle. Then again I’m not at the top of the leaderboard, am I? 🙂 Your humble scribe, Paul ---

I can’t believe you did that!! 😃 Second of all… if anyone really cares, we can let them stand. Of course, there is not much to brag about for winning a contest that nobody could play in. I agree we should scrap the kit… it’s the caboodle I’m unsure of. ---

I dunno, I feel obligated to bow humbly before **bibliophage** and cede my crown to him. :: kisses **bibliophage’s** ring after **sdimbert** sets the crown on his head :: In his honor, I’m changing my sig line.
