  • MARKET DEPTH on a company with almost nothing left in its pool used to report both sides matched and no push, which is not what an empty ladder means.
  • It now says there is less than a whole share at every step, and it still measures which way the interest leans.
  • Depth is counted in fractions of a share behind the scenes, so a company with a thin pool gets the same push a fat one does instead of quietly getting none.
  • A quote for a single share said "1 shares", and a quote for a big one ran the share count together without its separators.
🪛 Fixed
  • A company's pool is pulled back toward the number of shares rats have not bought, and that pull was rounded down to nothing whenever the gap was under 200 shares.
  • The drift was rounded down as well, so a pool of ten lost a whole share to a tick that was asking for a hundredth of a percent, and gained nothing back on the tick that went the other way.
  • RAT sat on ten shares against a target of 209 for 99 ticks running: down one, up one, down one, at $3,501 a share on a company that opened at $2.
  • That leak was never only RAT. It takes up to a share a tick from any company with a small pool, which is most of the ones rats have floated themselves.
  • And a tick that asked for no movement at all skipped the walk home entirely, so a company on its way back stalled every time the noise landed on nothing.
  • So buying a small pool up worked exactly as it should and the walk back down never happened. Nothing was rigged in your favour; the road home was closed.
  • The pull is now at least one share whenever there is a gap, and the drift rounds to the nearest share instead of always down.
  • A pool that has been bought out now climbs back to where it belongs at a share a tick, so a company finds its way home over about a day.
  • If you bought RAT while it was stuck up there, the price coming back down is the fix arriving and not a second fault. Your shares are marked at what the pool will pay for them, and on the way home that is well under what you paid.
  • Separately, the upward trend was taking its half a percent a day out of the whole company instead of out of the shares still in the pool, so a tightly held company would have had its target eaten down to a single share in about nine days.
  • The trend now takes its rate out of the shares left in the pool and can never reach the shares rats own.
🪛 Fixed
  • FLOAT called the whole seed recoverable by selling, when selling everything you hold returns what your own shares are worth, which the line above it already said.
  • That line now shows the seed left in the pool behind the shares you did not keep, so the three figures account for exactly what floating costs you.
  • The claim got worse the less you kept: at a 5 percent stake it offered $10,000 recoverable against the $500 you could really sell for.
🎁 Added
  • MARKET DEPTH on every company: how many shares want in under the current price, and how many want out above it.
  • Whatever the two sides do not match by leans on the price, so a company in demand climbs and a company being sold slides.
  • Interest close to the price counts for more than interest far away from it, the way it does on a real board.
  • Depth is redrawn every five minutes, so a company can sit in demand for hours and then turn.
  • You still buy and sell straight into the pool. There is no queue, and nothing has to take the other side of your trade.
  • Market depth was asked for by Skibidi Rizzler w/ The Big Gyatt
  • The vault deals two longer terms, 14 days and 30 days, and a month pays one percent a day.
🧼 Improved
  • The market trends upward over time instead of oscillating around the price it opened at.
  • The reversion target itself now climbs, which is what makes it a trend rather than a bias fighting a pull.
  • A founder's own stake is now marked at what the pool would pay for it, not at the opening price, on every screen that quotes it.
  • A founder's cost basis is recorded at what they actually paid, so the average price on a company you floated is right.
  • The most of a company a founder may keep on a float went from 50% to 90%.
  • The company page has been rebuilt: the ticker, the name and the price now share one line instead of stacking down the screen.
  • The figures that were buried in a list of eight rows are a labelled strip across the top, so market cap, volume, the pool, the range and the risk read at a glance.
  • The column beside the chart opens on the depth now, and your own position sits above the holder list rather than under it.
  • YOU vs THE MARKET is two clean lines instead of a filled band, so it is obvious which one is you and which one is the market.
  • A company's price chart is a line over a faint fill rather than a solid block, so the shape of the day is readable.
  • The chart legend names all three states, and the zero line is visible again.
  • Taking a vault deposit out early no longer wipes the interest. You keep the rate of the longest term you actually served, so a week broken after three days pays the three day rate.
  • Which means a long term is never worse than a short one held the same time, and picking the wrong one costs you the difference instead of everything.
  • The vault screen says all of this where you decide, instead of only on the help page.
  • A deposit's TAKE button now shows what it pays if you take it right now.
  • Contracts that count trades now ask that a trade be worth something. Ten of the sixteen counted trades, companies or standing orders without ever looking at the size, so a single share cleared any of them.
  • The floor is $100 and every contract that reads it says so in its own description, so the number on screen changes when the floor does.
  • The trend, the founder average price and the founder cap were all raised by Skibidi Rizzler w/ The Big Gyatt
🪛 Fixed
  • The feedback box takes more than one line, wraps, scrolls, and grows to fit what you have written.
  • Reported, from inside the broken box, by Skibidi Rizzler w/ The Big Gyatt
  • TODAY in the purse is measured from the server's own midnight mark instead of a number the terminal remembered. It used to compare against a figure the machine had stored, so after a wipe or an adjustment it quoted a change against money that no longer existed until midnight came round.
  • Fjord Motor Cheese held one price for four hours at a stretch and then jumped 7.7 percent, because at 13 cents a single cent was 7.7 percent of its price.
  • It has had a ten for one reverse split, so it now moves in the same detail every other company does. Nobody held any, so no position changed.
🎁 Added
  • Over 120 companies trade, each with a sector, a rated risk and a price of its own.
  • Prices move every tick on their own, and nobody sets them by hand.
  • Buy and sell straight into the pool, so there is never a wait for someone to take the other side.
  • Standing orders sit on the market and fill while you are gone.
  • The market map shows the whole board at once, and the index tracks it as one number.
  • The wire breaks stories on companies before they land, and not all of them are true.
  • DEVELOPING shows what is coming, the tape shows what actually happened.
  • The book takes bets on whether a story lands, and the winning side splits the losing pot.
  • The rake comes off the losers only, so a winning call never comes back smaller than it went on.
  • Float your own company, name it, pick the ticker and keep a founder's stake.
  • Half of every fee paid on a company stops in its treasury and is swept out to its holders.
  • The vault locks cash for a fixed term at a rate agreed the day you agree it.
  • Longer vault terms pay more per day, and locked money still counts toward your net worth.
  • The desk lends against the shares you hold, with interest running daily.
  • Fall far enough behind at the desk and it sells you out, taking your cash first.
  • Ten tables in the back room: coinflip, dice, slots, roulette, plinko, mines, higher or lower, crash, blackjack and the counter-offer.
  • Every table publishes its own edge and its own numbers, and the only secret is the roll.
  • Walk away from a table mid hand and it pays out what it owed you a week later.
  • A daily draw pays more every day you come back, climbing for thirty days.
  • Three daily contracts and two weekly ones pay for playing the exchange rather than grinding it.
  • New rats pay no fees for their first week and arrive with a position already open.
  • Twenty two awards, from your first trade to ten million in net worth, and how rare each one is is published.
  • Wear any award you have earned as a title beside your name.
  • Leaderboards rank by net worth and by what you gained this week.
  • Seasons freeze the final placing, and a trophy stays on your profile for good.
  • Say something on any company, with what you hold shown next to your name.
  • Twenty seven phosphor tubes to run the screen in, from cold green through to full amber.
  • Text size, readability and interface scale, all separate and all remembered.
  • Eight music beds played by the same chip, each reacting to how busy the board is.
  • Custom cursors, a CRT overlay and a boot sequence worth watching once.
