NCSoft Stockwatch

[dwturducken]

My wife bought some chocolate wine over the holidays. She loved it. I... didn't. Regardless, no one's going to fault you, VV, if you take the weekend before diving into the proposal. Despite our impatience, we all know this is a siege, not a blitz. :)

I am in full support of the Save Mercedes Lackey campaign in addition to the SaveCoH campaign. :)

well, there's a really easy way to contribute to the Save ML campaign. All you need to do is go your favorite bookstore...

It was about 60,000 words in three weeks.

I have no nose.  The grindstone took it all off.

I know a Duct Tape Specialist that could attach another one on for you. He even has a Duct Tape Specialist shirt that I got him last year for his B-day to prove it.  :P

He got about 2 dozen rolls of Duct Tape for Christmas too. You'd have a wide variety of colors and patterns to choose from. :)

So THAT'S what happened to Voldemort... he wrote a book after having the flu... Makes sense now.

Chocolate wine.... *is simultaneously attracted and repelled by the thought....*

And yes, ditto to what everyone else is saying: no losing any health or sanity over all this.

[Samuraiko]

The best chocolate wine I have EVER had is called Desiree. You can get it at BevMo for about $30/bottle, IIRC - you drink it from those little snifter-size glasses about the size of a Cadbury egg.

And it is soooooooo good.

So it does exist.

Sounds like it's time for a visit to ICON so they can build you a new face design for a few influence.  :)

Pssst... Mercedes.....we aren't actually super-heroes. For the love of god, take a break.

[Kuriositys Kat]

I JUST FINISHED THE BOOK.

YAY! *starts to tab to Amazon...SCREECHING halt,  runs publishing schedules in head*  I am getting ahead of myself again *sigh*  Maybe I will get the hang of knitting socks in the meantime.

60,000 words in three weeks?!?   Pamperage is called for.  Rest/massage/ and comfort foods for you and maybe some time in a clean room for your writing  comp?

Hot cocoa with rum. Not that cheapo "just add water" stuff, home made goodness with milk and ganache (a touch of cayenne and cinnamon for a nice tingle)

Its a shame the weather is warming up here, cocoa doesn't feel as good in warm weather.

I'll let you have my share, since I don't really care for the taste of alcohol.

Not trying to be a downer here...but can we rename this thread as "the thread that used to be the NCSoft Stockwatch thread but has gone so far off track that we haven't talked about the stock for pages...." 

[malonkey1]

Nothing interesting to report. Continuing a slight upward slope that started in the second week of February. Ta-Dah. :P

Hmm, then again it wasnt so much as stockwatch to begin with but seemed to be more about the sliding of NCSoft stock. It seems as soon as it stopped sliding, the convo was over.

Sunday's closing at 145,500 KRW, a gain of 2,500 KRW...

Blah blah blah financial analysis...

Our efforts never had and never will have an impact...

Schadenfreude is for idiots, quit enjoying things.

Is it any wonder the topic derails now and then?

All I've advocated is that using the stock price as an indicator of success/failure is a poor choice.  It's like gauging the size of the active player population by the price of Luck Charms.  Sales, profits, those are fine but come out infrequently. 

That's why I posted the bit about hours of play in PC cafes in Korea.  It shows Aion and Lineage II failing even in Korea and that's more of an indication of NCsoft having trouble than the stock price.  Only thing is NCSoft still has the 3 of the top 5 MMORPGs in Korea right now with ArcheAge and Terra being the other two (Lineage II being the one NCsoft game not in the top 5).

When the push into China blows up in their face, by not bringing in the added sales in the numbers they have been hinting at, we'll have our day.

Wouldn't you want to drink it out of these?

Speak for yourself!
