Shady Stock Options, a question spawned by the Credit topic Options

[crash2029]

I was reading the credit topic and at one point payment in stocks is mentioned. I would like to try to do this for variety's sake. My only problem is that I have no idea how to implement such a system. How many stocks should I give them? What are they worth? What can they do with them? Could they be useful enough bother with the additional bookeeping?

In a similar vein I have often read of payment in commodities and equipment. I like the idea of nonstandard payment but I don't really know how to do it. How do I figure out market reactions to various goods?

Finally, how would I make use of insider trading? Many runs affect local markets and savvy runners could very well supplement direct payment with advance notice of market conditions. But how would I govern such a system? Without getting a degree in economics, of course.

Any help would be appreciated.
