| Author | Someone is buying all mercury!!! |
|---|
D'uh. Better to bet all my gold on 17 and win :) I make do with what I have.
outcome 395*2=790
income 190*3=570
total = -220
Don't forget that I sell it to the facility ;) My calculation stands. 8gp isn't an increadible profit, but a) it's a one-time example and b) I'm not complaining :) |
Ok people, time to rest, take a good sleep, and cool down a bit.
I've deleted a number of messages containing swear words, probably thrown in the middle of a heated discussion, but next time I won't be so nice and banning will ensue.
And writing this made me miss my turn in the lab, poor me!! XD |
| Same thing is happening to the arts (+1 morale rings are the worst). We should have a trader skill(at 0 the empire will take 50% of value of the sold item) or something similar. If some players want to be greedy little speculators, so be it, but make it a little harder for them. |

if anybody who complaint here even border to take a look at the economy will knows that mercury is the main culprit and there are total of 240 vacancies in blooming glade lab, but it is hardly 50% vacancies enrolled every hour for the past week.
So if everyone start to enroll in blooming glade lab and maximized output of mercury i think it will most take 1 week to make the economy moving smoothly again!!! |
| Main problem is that i have to buy mercury on market and sell it in facility to make it functional!What happens if i don't want to do that?So this is problem for Empire.They have to put number of mercury that can be sold on market. |
fusei has over 130 mercury with her... and 49 on the market as I post this...
What's up?! Cornering the market too? |
| Not really, people are just buying less from me than I buy from the facilities, plus I'm not constantly looking at the market, so I sometimes miss when my lots are bought and I should place a new one, but in the end everything is usually sold. |

its a bot (in my opinion), but since we dont have proof and she wont admit it, we cant do anything....unfortunately
And shes making tons of money, each hour buying 60 mercury (what is impossible for a normal user) then selling them for 30! gold more a piece
thats 1800 free gold every hour! |
It's true, fusei.
You're averaging more than 1 purchase per shift because you definitely sell a lot. I'm not sure I trust you not using automation anymore. I tried my hand at snatching but they disappear within half a second. |
i think, normal users can buy maximum 20 mercury/shift end (and we need several attempts to do it)
i think 40 mercury per shift is extremly difficult (not to say impossible) but i can imagine that sometimes very fast players, with an excellent internet connexion can buy 40 mercury.
60+ mercury/shift means they are cheating with scripts.
how to type 20, press enter, refresh, type 20, press enter, refresh, type 20, press enter, refresh in 0.2 seconds? |
| A possible explanation is if she lives right next door to the server with a direct connection, giving her only 20 miliseconds lag. Majority of use will have at least 0.1 ms lag correct? |

Well, I've managed to get 40 merc at times (not to contradict you, just giving example)
But.. how did you calculate that fusei (I assume you mean her, please correct me if I'm wrong) buys 60 merc per shift?
Also, the process of buying is more like
type 9 press enter type 9 press enter type 9 press enter |

look when a workshift ends and when shes online
instead of refreshing on the lab, refresh on her profile |
| Take a look at her transfer log. All export no imports. So obviously the only source is from the facility? She sells around 30-40 per hour. I think there's one hour where she sell close to 60. Of course, it could be carried over from previous hours but.... meh I dunno. |

Nice advice, but I think I'll pass, thanks :P I'm kinda more interested in getting mercury - and enrolling on nickel/mp ;) |
well, over 10 min workshift ends on the lab
she has 87 mercury now... (script kugh )
Lets look how much she has over 10 minutes |
| she has 182 mercury in total. Just for the record. |
to RagingBear:
I guess there's little I can do to reassure you I don't cheat, but actually I have little to no knowledge of web-programming. However I have faith that the creators of this game haven't made rule 2.1 as a mere deterrent and are able to check whether or not someone violates this rule.
60 (sum of both labs) happens sometimes, but not this often. |
+138
But you might want to check the exact number a min efore shift end.
That said, if I was a vicious script user reading forum, I'd purposefully skip this turn - buy 20 or so mercury, just to stay realistic ;) |
