For those of you who don't understand the poll, the petition would be for Blizzard to grant me some space on their servers, so that I would be able to make the system linked together.
In other words, think of a high score list. In order for the high scores to be computed, I would have to be able to get all the scores from everyone. That would require a place on Blizzard's servers where I could store information.
The price of each share is not based off the amount of hours, rather how many shares have been purchased.
For example, because a lot of people know about Desert Strike, a lot of people would look to buy shares of that stock. With each share that is purchased, the price of the share is increased.
So because Desert Strike is more popular than Smashcraft, more people will have heard of it, so more people would buy the stock, thus increasing the price of each share.
It is kind of a back door way of working the system, but it works. The stock market that I was describing for the corporations will function more like the real stock market than the custom game stock market will.
So for example, the price of a share would be the # of shares in the market. So lets say someone purchases 1000 shares. That would increase the price of each share by 1 per share purchased. (That may seem like a lot, but think of the value as being in pennies, because I cannot have a fraction of a mineral value)
Haha no, the numbers have nothing to do with the popularity on Blizzard. The more well known a map is, the more people will buy shares of it.
When the popularity is reset on Bnet, this may indirectly influence what stocks people choose to buy do to what is currently listed as being "popular" on Bnet, but will have no direct impact on the amount of shares people actually have.
I hope that I made myself clear on that, if not I will try and explain better.
Edit: For example, you can buy shares in a game that you think is going to become incredibly popular. Once it is popular, the shares that have already been bought won't be deleted when Blizz resets their popularity system.
If you would have read through the text earlier, I said there will be no options, and the only things will be a basic stock market consisting of buying and selling shares, and shorting. That is it.
When you think a map is going to become popular, you buy the stock. When you think it is going to do poorly, you sell what you have or short it.
It is/was never intended to be a complex marketing system like the real stock market.
And I don't understand why that has anything to do with signing the petition. Please explain.
(Also, I understand you may know a lot about the stock market, but many people do not. I am keeping it simple, for the vast majority of people will have no idea what an option is, and have no desire in learning)
Check out my post, Market Game. There are some similar features in the game I am making that are being described above, although the game has a different style of game play.
Everyone, PLEASE post your comments and respond to the poll above. I need the feedback.
EDIT: Anything you want me to explain further, I will be posting another more detailed (less monotone) video tomorrow. Please post below, so I know what I need to explain further.

What would you recommend to encode the videos?

Thanks! My computer should be back within the next couple weeks, and I will begin working on making the actual map.
Until then I will just be working out the algorithms and figuring out how I am going to do everything.
Anyways, additional feedback is always welcome.

I am looking for something to record Starcraft games, and make voiceovers at the same time. (Kinda like HuskyStarcraft).
However, I can't seem to find anything except Hypercam, which as far as I can tell is laggy and doesn't always work.
Anyone have any suggestions?
(Sorry if this is already up here on the forums somewhere, I looked for a while and couldn't find it)

I think that should clear it up a bit.

Hey, I'm sure this is somewhere else on this site but I cannot find it. How do people put yourtube videos directly onto their thread?
I can post a link, but how do I made the video playable directly from the website?
My drop down option thing is set to Plain Text, I don't know anything about any of the other options. (Sorry for being a newb)
Thanks!
