I wouldn't fixate on the Victory Points criteria just yet, it's early days yet.

Ooooh there's fictitious money to be made here! Kaner will you have me?

Wow, I spend the best part of 15 minutes trying to work out what to do so I can play and everyone wants to take away my mantle already!

Last stupid question from the newbie who's winning, are the number of SCs in the victory points based on the usual autumn only, or do spring SCs count to the victory point count?

Hey kaner. Lets all lobby Oli to let us have real points to use as money! :D

It'd be theoretically possible for a mod like Oli, me or kaner to take points off people and reallocate to others depending on the outcome of the game for the bourse players too. Is there interest from the bourse players for this and if so, what would be the points invested?

Make it 40 , since thats what the people in the game where forced to pay.

I like it. We all started with 220 VPs. If we bet 40 , this means that each VP is worth 0.1818 . So a player ending the game with 300 VPs (54.55 rounded 55) would have 15 (55-40) added and a player with 100 VPs (18.18 rounded 18) would have 22 (18-40) taken away.
Deal?

(or maybe we could bet 44 so counts would be much simpler having 5 VPs = 1 )

Yeah well, let's get used to playing Bourse first. For one thing I'm still ironing out the wrinkles in my spreadsheet myself!!!

Which brings me to the point that Amby's Net Worth is actually $6260 (not 6870). This is purely aesthetic as he doesn't have any $US float. But it did make me aware that when I add a new row into the spreadsheet that one of the equations drops down a row as well. Anyway, all fixed now.

As for the SC count, yup the count is for the usual end of Autumn round-up (winter), no such thing as Spring SCs, never heard of 'em, never want to hear 'bout 'em.

:)

Ok, pity. Next time around maybe.

How much time left to next Market's deadline?

about 1 day 4 hours

NO I AM NOT PAYING ANY POINTS! Well, maybe I'll pay 1 or 2. And you could give the winner say 5 or something.

Yea ... isn't too meaningful for this to involve Dip points I would say ...

In fact I am rather optimistic about Germany and the Marks ~

Yeah that's what my sister thinks too. She always says she can't see the reason why money is involved... when we play poker ot bet on horses.
Maybe it's because her hair is blonde? :)

The table currently shows tobi1 to be at 1405000 Piatres. I believe that this is supposed to be 1400.

I feel my stock is about to drop a bit too though... but of course if the investors only knew the crap I was dealing with from down below me, they would understand!!!

Just so that people know, I am not sure if this was fixed, but I did not want to, nor did I ask to sell Piastres last turn. This will change the price of them I believe, but I am waiting for Kaner's conformation

If that is the case then his initial 1.42 currency was correct...

And this will (re-)change the orders of those who wanted to turn a profit on the Piastre and buy as much as possible of another currency.

Or we ignore the mistake and the value stays at 1.37 but hiporox gets his 500 Piastres back.

Every time I see "Piastres" my brain thinks "Pastries" and it's made me super hungry.

Mmm pastries...

Om nom nom Piastres...I mean Pastries

Can I join?

It is too late to fix this mistake, as we are too far into the season.

I apologise for the human error. Please read the thread carefully regarding your orders, and respond as soon as you can.

hiporox - will you be willing to play as though you had sold 500 Piastres last season?

Alternatively I can 'reset' his currencies - bringing them all back to 1000, and re-starting him as a fresh player like Amby.

Why can't we just give him the 500 piastries back like he said he has and adjust the price accordingly? It's only .05 on the piastrie price right?

it effects everyone's US$ float, as well as making 6 sets of orders void and needing to be resent with the new values being calculated into this.
