Woo Hoo! Thanks, Aro!

EDIT: Aww, shucks,it's got yellow lines on it and doesn't include the whole region, BHQ's outer city limits are cut out.

If no one has an objection I'm going to give Captain tile #30 (valued at $1500) as his FULL compensation for previous service. It was the tile he told me to get for him depending on what people decided about the compensation package.

I fully agree. He deserves it.

I think #1 Trade Proposals is too strict and restrictive.

Civman: I respect your opinion of course but could you elaborate a bit on the strictness and restrictiveness of the trade proposal? You may have detected a weakness in the proposal that I missed.

I think our trading system is flawed. If we're going to post our assets, let's just do it seperate from trades. Also, if you are buying things, shouldn't you, instead of saying that you're buying such and such at this price, just accept a sell offer? I think that everything should be sell offers and purchases. If you had 2 food you wanted to sell, you would post a thread saying that you offered to sell 2 shields at, say $45 each. If this was the first sell offer in the thread, you put a 1 in the title bar, and if it's the second, a 2, etc. THIS IS REQUIRED OR THE SELL OFFER IS INVALID. Then, if someone wants to buy those two food, they post "I accept offer #1" and put ~1 in the title bar. THIS IS REQUIRED OR THE SELL OFFER IS INVALID. If someone has accepted your sell offer, you cannot edit it. You cannot edit an acceptance post, either. The trade is now set in stone. Also, the restrictions for selling shields above market value are eliminated - just don't expect anyone to buy your stuff.

See my replies in the other two threads it was posted in..........

[Kuciwalker]

You said to post it in the discussion threads... so I did.

[Franses]

I want to contiune playing .

The poll is up for almost 48 hours now. Only 6 players reacted. How long should we continue with the poll? I suppose we at least have to wait until part of the weekend has passed to give all players the chance to respond?

[Epistax]

The problem with that poll is no one knows exactly what to do with it. Multiple choice usually doesn't take a written response.

You may well be right. But the first building poll learned that many non-players voted. So, I do not think we can use that method and be sure that we get the opinion of the players. If this does not work either...... what should we use?

[Kuciwalker]

We should hammer out a strong and comprehensive model for the entire thing before we start up again, that's what.

[Epistax]

I disagree sky. We are in beta. We can drastically change rules from turn to turn, without (me) being held accountable.

[Kuciwalker]

Once we have the final version, will we start over?

Exactly, I think we should identify specific elements and test them in trading sessions so we can get a feel for how they work.

I had hoped to try the subProducts/alternate D:S sources the next trading session and then discuss changes/new elements for the next session and try something else.

I see options:

SubProducts/alternate D:S sources

Frances' Building Prop 1

SubProduct Building Prop 2

Any other options I missed?
