Andy, Like lots of others I have CEO corps that just disappear and I have no idea who it was or why. And the newspaper doesn't seem to capture that information because I check there. The most recent disappearance was April 3469 on Kebir Blue in Republic of Carolina. Can you check and tell me more about this missing corp as this has happened several times before. Also wouldn't it be better for the game to generate a message to us when any corporation is closed in our country that the president didn't close? This would be helpful information in the management of our countries.

I agree Jack, that's exactly the kind of message I am looking for as the newspaper is not as in your face as an email/msg is. I check messages far more often than the newspaper. Besides as president I want it in my face not in the newspaper that my company is bought or closed. I have lost many thriving companies for no apparent reason whatsoever and it would have been nice to know what the heck I was doing wrong. So once again I set up another and get my production contracts all set up to lose another mysteriously. Its a pain and not exactly inspiring me to play.

Dacman, I have lost some more since then and none of them have been listed in the newspaper. This happens to all of us but it sure would be nice to know what happens in our own countries.

Andy, This one thing would be so helpful. We get notified by a message when a CEO wants to build or relocate to our country. So how about a message when they close or relocate a corp from our country? It is the CEO's decision but as president we should know what is going on in our countries.

Most of my corps that have gone missing were state owned. I had a Factory Maintenance Units corp. that I managed to acquire through Nationalization before that was taken away from us. I had all of my corps. intertwined selling to one another such that I was nearly purchasing 100% local for everything. Suddenly my state corps. started disappearing, no notice nothing and all my supply contracts got messed up. I have been a profitable country for some time and most if not all of my corps that went missing were good an healthy. I suspect aliens abducted my corps. :(

Corporations never disappear.
We explained it many times before.
Such claims too, do not disappear.

They are either closed or bought and there are clear messages about it in ALL cases.

If a corporation is in a bad financial situation, there is a tag next to its name, on the list of corporations. It appears there many game months before the corporation is closed.

in addition, there are messages on the corporation page explaining the status, showing warnings if the corporation lack workers or raw materials.

People claim this from time to time, but our logs show exactly the reasons and it just never happens.

moreover, if you keep track and check frequently, you can always prevent it from taking place.

A very clear message is in your newspaper
about two corporations closing down.

False claims are not welcome here and we will remove players who are spreading such false claims.
You are wasting our time too.

Countries are not in the business of trading shares. Enterprises are.
A president can decide to take a corporation to the stock market or sell it. The president can also decide to keep the corporation ownership.
going into share trading is a different game and the domain of enterprises.

--------------------------------

So I suppose your statement in chat saying that State Corporations are not profitable and only Public Corporations are the real deal was false? And countries "Are not in the business of trading shares" right? You just mentioned above that false statements are not welcome here... Countries should be free to participate in the Share Market without restrictions, and not allow cocky Enterprises to nearly collapse your very successful economy just because they decide to take ownership in half your Public Corporations. Also, an ability to Boycott or restrict a specific Enterprise in your country (In shares an

I removed that fine contribution.
a simple sorry would have done it.

The message was in the country newspaper.
I just logged in and it was there.

You have been spreading wrong accusations while playing for free a whole year. Your last (removed) contribution went too far.

state corporations are very profitable.

other corporations are even more profitable.

It seems that you are talking about a different game here?
In simcountry, enterprises are the main traders of shares. Presidents can make money by taking some of their corporations public and if managed correctly, can increase their income and many do.

there are thousands of private and public corporations and the best accounts in the game have many such corporations.

they are able to run profitable enterprises and their corporations contribute a lot to the countries where they reside.

The is no secure business here. not for presidents and not for enterprises.
It is a game.

Corporate takeover is in most cases very profitable as there is a large amount of money paid to the previous owner.
try taking over some corporations from others.

OK Andy - tell me where this enterprise corporation went. Another one left in May 3474 in Republic of Carolina on KB. It is not listed in any newspaper - CEO corps that leave never are. I have other CEO corps that have left over the last few real weeks and it sure would be helpful to know who they are and what is going on in my own country. I know corps are never lost - these went somewhere - I just want to know which corp and CEO it was. Why can't a notification message be sent to us when this happens and tell us what corp it is.

Thanks Borg Queen chances are you are right. I'd be glad to have you come back as I have plenty of workers, zero taxes and index of over 125 in all of my countries.


But Andy, we still need some notification of when enterprise corps close. We are notified when a CEO wants to build/relocate in our countries. We need a similar message when they leave. It is their corp and they have every right to do what they want with it but I have a need to know the name of the corp and CEO involved. Thanks.

C'mon Andy you can't seriously expect us to browse through ALL the newspapers of ALL the enterprises that invest in our countries to find out what happenned! Isn't it easier to make a link so that everything that appears in the enterprise's newspaper regarding a corporation will also appear in the newspaper of the specific country where the corporation is based?

Andy,

That country has corporations from 24 CEOs, not counting my enterprise. I have no doubt that it appeared in the enterprise's newspaper. I just don't have time to search all 24 for the answer. I read my countries' newspapers so if it was there I could find it. Christos gave a good solution. Please consider creating some notification when a CEO closes or relocates a corporation from our countries.

And Borg Queen I checked your newspapers and it wasn't you but I do thank you for your support.

I do not expect you to check all the enterprises.
I thought you were talking about your enterprise, not knowing what happens there.

I will check here about logging enterprise owned companies in the country newspaper.

You should be able to collect all the info from your own newspaper.
