Or a lot, who knows. 
Does this seem normal to anyone else? On Friday morning (after reset) I logged in and saw that my company was at 6% dis. I didn't figure it was enough to worry about yet, and since I was just trying to top up my depots before running to work, I didn't bother with a dividend. I just filled up my depots, logged off, and went to work. I logged back in this morning before the Monday morning reset to find that my shareholders had sold all but 1 of my factories and all 3 of my depots, and issued a dividend for everything in the company.
So, now the only money I have in my company is what it got from the dividend (plus I have about the same in my personal money which will slowly get whittled away to nothing by the tax man since I can't put any money into my company). What's in there now is less than half of what I had when I promoted to Indy (after emptying and selling off my warehouses). It's enough to rebuild, but it'll take longer than the 10 cycles I'd spent between Indy and Manu.
I realize I'm not the first or last person to have a shareholder revolt. But after only 2 days offline? If I'd known it could happen that fast, I would've frozen my company before I left town for the weekend. I consider myself a fairly attentive manufacturer. I've only ever had my depots run completely dry once. Occasionally I'd run out of one input or another for an hour or two before I got on to refill them, but this was only the second time I'd been offline for more than 1 day. And the previous time, I was off for 3 days and didn't get liquidated.
So, honestly, does anyone else think that maybe the code for shareholder revolt is a bit "overzealous"? Should anyone need to redo over 10 weeks of play (admittedly mostly easy play, but it's the time more than the work) because of being offline for 2 days? Maybe it was supposed to pay out 30 mig total and instead tried to do a 30 mig dividend?
I guess I'll email Hazed just to ask her if it seems like things are working as they are supposed to be. Honestly, if I'd been away a week or so and forgot to freeze my company I would've just gone "doh! I'm an idiot!" But I wouldn't think that for 2 days, freezing should be required.
Sorry for the rant. Just having a bad week, and wasn't thrilled to wake up to that.
