$Mini-Game BETA: Trade Thread

Ghengis, you are hired. Make you a deal. Anything over 125/turn is yours. The rest, pay off my debt. This will get me out of debt in 4 turns. If we make under that contact me. I will not be checking in here again, likely, till MrWIA comes back.

It isn't going to make $125 a turn, how about $75.

It should make $40-50 per food (total of 2 food per turn) depending on if everybody sells and how competitive people are. That'll get your debt paid off in 7 turns.

Right now food is selling at $54 and that's with less than half the producers selling.

I also have 1 commerce because I am next to a river on one of the tiles.

Commerce is going at roughly 65 right now, that will be 150-160/turn or so...Right?

If the corner counts as a river than you have a deal but I think when I checked it that tile didn't have a river status. I don't have Civ# at work so I can't check right now.

The ones I posted a picture of in the bidding had one with a commerce bonus. I checked before bidding. Now, do I have different tiles than I thought I was bidding on?...Since someone else gave me the #'s...

Okay it's a deal then, I don't think I checked that tile as you had already bid on it.

Do you realize no ones made any more offers to sell/transact anything in the last 16 posts?

Don't mean to be a downer, but once the computer and car are up and running you might want to have someone look at your spellcheck...........

[Franses]

For those who did not download my Excel file: the current total production of all estates is (assuming no more errors in it.Doubt it but who knows? ):

Food 31
Shields 13
Commerce 17

This means that the minimum default price for food is 28/66 = $42

Since some shields and commerce are stockpiled in the last turn, no minimum price can be calculated but if everybody want to sell their current production, the default prices will be:

Shields 18/32=$56
Commerce 20/40=$50

[Franses]

Looks good to me GF.

All food is lost but shields and commerce not sold are stockpiled.

Do we keep track of that ourselves?

(I suggest we do! Otherwise, you will have a lot of extra work)

[jdd2007]

so i didnt sell anything? *angry*

this system is messed up. either someone had to buy it at a slightly higher price, or it would automatically be sold at a lower price. o well, but i dont want to have to edit my orders every time the price goes down a nickel.

edit: i produce commerce??? dam*, didnt sell that either!

[civman2000]

darn, I was busy for 30 hours and missed the entire first turn...oh well.

VOTE FOR COMPENSATION

Here's what I did, I purposely offered a price that would be valid if someone else came in behind be and offered more product. My cushion was only two as I knew I would be checking frequently.

If you think you won't be back for a while, drop the price lower. If you're not going to be checking the threads that often, make a deal with another player to offer your production for you. You can always post your latest offer over theirs. As banker I go my the last post you offered. You don't have to edit, just post a change in your offer.
