The Fortune Magazine Suspends The Fortune 20 (OOC)

OOC: I've been debating this for the past few weeks whether or not to suspend the Fortune 20 list, but I will do it for several reasons:

The amount of submissions have been declining for awhile. (It's now down to 5.)
I no longer have the time to create the list nor accurately check each submission, which leads to the next one...
I figured that people would be honest with me regarding the total revenue since it's only a game. I mean, what would be the logical reason to lie? I have noticed and pointed out a few mistakes that were accidentally made, but in recent weeks there has been an extreme amount of dishonesty in quite a few people.

Maybe I'll resume the list sometime in the future, maybe I won't. Only time will tell.

OOC: Sorry to see the Fortune 20 go, NG. I haven't had much time to count through my sales in recent months, so I didn't participate in the last few. It's a shame that some people will take this beyond friendly competition to lying about sales. I hope you'll resurrect the list sometime.
