PS just for the record this is why you want me on the development team

same is going on in SD

Well Kollop i understand that there might be a need for a thread like this, but for my own account, i know that i calculate the return on my investments before i make them. And when i switch to pop, it is profitable. This is usually when CFers are hitting 100-200% OB, but can be way before 250 planets.

nice to see you registered, wish you all the best

Its obvious that the market was and is sorta crazy this round. It needs fixing YES, but i really wish that people would welcome the change and the innovation they had to adapt to and make some strategic choices for this round.

The problem with the market the way i see it is that it doesnt adjust as the round progresses.

The first three weeks everyone has so low OB and needs turnover quickly, so playing market was hardly worth the halt in infra. However, when you reach 300%, playing market was suddenly very profitable.

In my opinion the randomness is too high, the range of prices and the fact that it can go from top to bottom in no time!

Maybe make it so that the market changes every 5th tick, within a range of say 10-20% of the old price. This way you get more a fluctuation and not suddenrises and falls, and it would be alot more similar to what we see in real life with oilprices etc.

The way the market worked this round is more luck and random, if you see high iron ofcourse you wanna sell iron so you buy mines, but by the time your mines are done, iron may be back down to 5 or so.. No strategy here really.

Also i think for the poeple trying to go with resourcer races, and be more agressive, the market was too unreliable, sell prices often down to 5-6 makes it almost impossible to grow.

In my opinion you want the market to influence strategy, but you dont want market play to be a source of income. You should game the market by adapting to prices, but just sitting around waiting for profit with huge savings isnt what IC is about hehe.

You never had to delete, you could sit idle and let your family take your planets. But ofc you wanted to delete! Nice attitude even after this thread has discussed a bunch of times the cowards that choose that route

How you mean? Josh was like the market advocat and has just deleted in shame

Damon you should start a club together with the other players in my fam

Where u playing Crow?

Things are starting to happening now!!

Nine of seven jumped a rofl amount of something but seems to have lost bout half of it now, but other players are following with pretty huge jumps aswell

I really agree that none of the different procratitative activities, be it arts, sports, videogames etc should be more funded than the other, unless they can be linked with quantifyable positive externalities. I think that especially the higher forms of art, like theatres, painting, sculpturing and music seems to be overfunded in many countries, in the aspects that it seems that the art really only benefits the artist himself, and a few selected others.
