Well, speaking as a commercial admin, there's not a chance in hell we'd
let, much less pay, for anyone to do this. That's not a slight on you or
your company either. It's simply that you can't just come in for a couple
weeks and carry out a scenario. You've got to have an intimate
understanding of the subtleties of a world's political climate, its
history, etc. I can't speak for stockmuds, and I don't really know how
similar they are to each other in those terms, so maybe it work work in
them, though I don't see you making a profit out of stock muds.
