    I recalculated, it may be more like 406. 1.231 per share.

    You can go to the seedinvest website and walk through the steps to see exactly how much it would be.

    The number of shares is kind of irrelevant. Whether it is 500 shares @ $1 or 1 share @ $500, the equity is the same.

    If I seedinvestmented $500 would I be able to walk around passing out shares like candy? No? Now you see why I hate paperwork. I'm still on my quest to get someone to sell me their gold stuff.

    I don't understand the concept of *passing out shares like candy* or what that has to do with this investment or any other. As for paperwork, I didn't see much of anything related to investing in Portalarium. You make it sound onerous and it wasn't at all. It was actually minimal paperwork - about as much as placing an order on Amazon.com or signing up for Netflix. If/when we get to 500K, perhaps there will be more paperwork?

    How does anyone get *gold stuff* if we don't get to 500k? I know there was something about that in R43 notes, but nothing in R44. I can tell you I don't have any perks delivered and I'm content to wait another week to see if this gets to 500k before I get any perks.

    I'm almost certain those Perks alone will be going up in value no matter what they will also most certainly be being offered for ;)
    But I've grown attached to mine already even though we haven't received them yet :D~TL~


    :p "I can only think of one name to give to a golden bird" :D:oops: and what about that helmet! :eek:' No true Don Quixote should ever be without one! :D

    or is acquired ?

    Lets talk about Perks :oops:...

    We need another $111,116 within the next 7 days o_O
    :eek: So what would be the one single Perk we'd like to see added to sweeten this deal with to put us over the top you think :confused:?'

    My suggestion is a "Kobold Humidity Generator" o_O Maybe even built into the top greenhouse floor of the Row Home which would allow only that floor to have the ability to self humidify all plants up there o_O That's not such a far fetched idea you know... I mean the Kobold already have the "Cloud Cannon", so a humidifier isn't too far out of the question is it? All it would take is something built into the top floor that just sits in there and smokes like a pipe o_O

    Portalarium have increased the Perks once already, so there's nothing that says they can't still do it again aye o_O?'

    :rolleyes: What would anyone suggest that would cause them to SeedInvest just a bit more o_O?'

    My best guess is that it's a generic disclaimer.

    How does the deal With Travian affect potential future revenue. Black sun was promised a percentage, Is there anything similar here?

    Probably a question they'll have to answer on the SeedInvest page.

    I'm surprised they didn't add golden versions of the telethon stretch goals this time around, considering the SeedInvest campaign ends the night of the telethon.

    As far as a single Perk... I'd say a Crystal Sword with a Golden Hilt. Just like the other crystal swords it can be used once to slay anything and then shatters, but the broken hilt can then be used with a lot of glass to make a display case replica that goes in your house.

    Alternatively, and also as a throwback to Ultima, a Golden Horn that when sounded summons a Golden Serpent that (kind of like the daemon) will attack your enemies but then possibly turn on you. Very similar to how the Silver Horn worked in Ultima 6. (Plus... we can get snakes added to the game this way. Win-win.)

    Nope. Used it on the fire chicken and it only removed like 1/10 of it's health (which it regained super fast).
