Think I don't have YOU pegged? Then answer these questions:
- Have you redeemed ANYTHING from HSX in the form of say hats, pens, or t-shirts? (e.g., prizes, etc.)
- Have you sold your port on e-Bay for tens of thousand of dollars?
- Does anyone here (e.g., HSX billionaire or HSX admin) pay you for your leagues, funds, or time spent--considering the thousands of hours you've spent in real life on here most days since 2000?
"Have you redeemed ANYTHNG from HSX in the form of say hats, pens, or t-shirts?"
RazorHawk: Kind of. HSX used to have a Trading Tip page on the old version of the site where HSX Staff would write short articles with tips about playing the game. They asked for players to submit articles and they accepted and published a few of mine. Out of the blue I recieved a package in the mail from HSX that included a black HSX hat, a laser pointer, a HSX pen, a black HSX mug and I think a HSX key-chain (I still have everything except the key-chain). I asked for a T-shirt but they didn't have my size available and they were not going to be ordering more because they were going to be updating the logo and color scheme of the site (which wouldnt match the logo and color scheme of the t-shirts).
You can buy an HSX t-shirt here (link)
or a baby onsie/bodysuit (link)
or a HSX logo mug (link)
"Have you sold your port on e-Bay for tens of thousand of dollars?"
RazorHawk: My port is worth 13 bill and I am ranked #16 in the game, I have no desire to sell my port.
Does anyone here (e.g., HSX billionaire or HSX admin) pay you for your leagues, funds, or time spent--considering the thousands of hours you've spent in real life on here most days since 2000?
RazorHawk: I (used to) make a little money from advertisements on my HSX Fansite, enough to pay for the domain name and to buy some books about how to make a website. I have made some contacts in the business (movie news websites) and had a few job offers. Some movie studios and other various famous people follow my Twitter and Facebook accounts. HSX scheduled me to be interviewed on national news (about HSX with real money). I am currently working with and/or consulting for some projects because of my knowledge of the industry and the knowledge I get from HSX about upcoming movie projects.
Other than that, I have had fun playing the game and making fake money. I have made many friends in HSX that are now real life friends. My HSX friends encouraged me to start writing articles, one HSX friend helped coach me on setting up my HSX Fansite and getting my domain, we have a hoot in my HSX League cracking each other up (shout out to DTravel). I changed from FireFox to Chrome because of HSX Friends. I have dual monitors in HD because of HSX Friends. I have learned a whole lot about African-American cinema history from/because being a fund manager.
Over the years I have gotten busy in real life. I am currently supporting my grandpa and taking care of his health issues. I volunteer a lot in the community. My business has really taken off and I have more work than I can handle. I still make time to get outdoors and do hiking and animal watching. I wish I had more time to play at HSX. I miss investing in the daily IPOs, I usually forget about post adjust bond plays (unless I write my article), and I play HSX in the free moments between projects or while I am waiting for something and sitting at the computer.
Neil, just learn how to play the game and fit in.
