2 food @ 44, 1 commerce @ 45

At least the money earned was correct.

Sorry about the mistakes, today's my wife's birthday and people keep calling, and she kept asking me questions.........

I must have got interrrupted over 20 times while I was typing that post and I couldn't always remember where I had been updating last.

If you don't want me to be Banker I'll understand.

For how long?

No problem. I don't think you should have to list all that information, however. Maybe simply the orders that do not go through to due costs. Things in our benefit, we should look after.

Unless of course you are being hired by someone.

But that would simplify things. It would allow a bigger chance for cheaters, however.

I posted it this time because with people making debt payments it kinda through off the final income for the turn. This way people could see where the final income amount came from.

I don't plan on posting it everytime, but I plan on keeping track in case a discrepency or court case comes up.

The first session was so much easier because it didn't have all of the debate in it. Really hope we can keep that in the other thread next time.

So how much did I get?

[Kramerman]

damn it!
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Is there any way we can slow down the turns? Pleeeeeeease
I am really busy with school, work, and extra curricular activities right now and have not had but more than one chance a night (local) to check the forum. Now I dont want the whole game to be held up on my account, I was just wondering if they could be made alittle longer. I mean, how long was that last turn? I thought it was said they were gonna be 2 days long, about, unless this was changed without me seeing or my perception of time has been warped by my insane schedual. Would this be a possible change?
Thanks,

Kman

??????

That wasn't a question, that's how much you got. I didn't have a price that you were trying to sell at.


Kramerman-
Word is the next session is tomorrow and will last 48 hours. There's now a $Mini-Game Directory thread to help locate active trading sessions.

Land Rentals are currently off. I don't think he understood what was intended with those lands and the ramifications of leasing them, namely that by leasing them it would increase the amount of excess product we were generating and lower the prices everyone was getting paid.

We need to come up with new commodity markets before we start producing on all the tiles.

Ideas:
BAKERY- converts Food to Bread, demand is half of food demand.

Need something to convert Commerce into......

The market price?

You have to decide what price you want to sell your product at, that's the game part.

If you set the price too high, you don't sell anything. Set it too low and you don't make very much profit.

Example: You have two food. The starting demand:supply is
demand = 28 (amount of food market demands)
supply = 35 (amount currently available before nobles sell)
OR D:S = 28/35
28 divided by 35 is .80 or 80% we use that for the $ amount so the market will buy food if we offer it at a lower price that $80. Otherwise they'll buy it from the existing supply.

If you sell 2 food then D:S = 28/37 (the original supply of 35 + the 2 you just added to the supply)
The price now drops to $75. As more people sell more food into the market the price drops lower. You have to guess how much everyone's going to sell and set your price below the ending price or nobody buys your product.

Does that make any sense?

Yes. So what do you do with an order like I gave?

I specified lot's o cash and even more cash.

No sale?

GF,

I think a mistake has been made in my total income in the first round. I sold 3 commodities at $65 and one at $50 for a total income of $245 (instead of the $295 you posted). Turn 2 resulted indeed in a total income of $47 resulting in total cash of $292 instead of the $342 posted.

A similar mistake has been made regarding Kloreep in turn 1. $298 should be $248

Where did jdd get his first $250 from? His income in turn 1 was 0 according to your overview after turn 1. Did I miss something?

You did not add the $53 paid by UnOrthOdox to your own account.

I see that you have a negative cash now. Does this mean that it is possible to lend more money? Do we have to pay interest over a negative amount?

My suggestion is to have the food sold at $40 (same price as jdd) and the commerce stockpiled. This only because the food is wasted and we all have to learn how to do this correctly. Next time an order like that by NYE will be regarded unvalid. Is this a fair proposal?

GF: I know. Until I pmed MarkG yesterday about the problem, all three were empty, and now there are just two things there.
