Artefact RST

Restructure Blog, or RST is a type of Artefact usage.

This move allows the player to acquire 5-20% of shares from each stockholder in a blog at 3 times the market price.

Net Effects

For shareholders in the blog, they will lose some of the shares they were holding, BUT they will be paid TRIPLE the market price for the shares they were forced to sell; a net gain, provided the share price was not first destroyed by a player with a PR Disaster (which is a potential loss in value). Blog owner's shares are not affected by a Restructure, and they lose nothing, but they may become annoyed for the sake of their other shareholders and may retaliate in some way (Leveraged Buy Out, Stock Splits, and other such actions, for example, but the blog owner MUST be holding at least one share in his/her own blog to be able to do anything at all). Share holders who are only holding one stock share will not lose that one share during a Restructure, and will retain their stock. PR Disasters may also precede Restructures of a blog, destroying the price before the restructure, so the entire sequence of events may result in a loss of Net Worth for shareholders, depending on what actions occur.
