>>16263622By internal evaluations [work in progress] the person who adjustment-trades like a god (profiting by more than 25% over the 2nd place) is still available. It's probably not who you think it is.
Since we decided to go with internal money transfers trust was very important when considering members - this is why it was first conducted before the reveal. This is why you can see people we were familiar with from the aggie and mostly oldfags, but it doesn't /have/ to be like that if you don't do money transfers at all, which is feasible. People who seemed to prefer to have their own goals we left alone - the group was formed with in-group profit
and giving the game a goal in mind.
>>16263694When it comes to evening out liquid, the bigger the difference in wealth between the players the better. Meaning, the smaller the player, the more 'useful' they'd be from the efficiency perspective - sadly, very few newfags frequent the aggies, even anonymously.
>>16263835>>16263792I wish there was a way to coordinate it via in-game privately, without relying on the aggie. I hope honk adds it as a feature - you can still use the floor, for sure, but not if privacy is needed...
>>16263640To be completely transparent about what we're doing just to reduce uncertainty:
- We're pooling our dividends together and distributing them evenly since each individual player has a limited amount of trades they can make - thus the richest player would ordinarily be forced to buy bad coins to spend their liquid (see: Cypherposting losing roughly 50 million per week on trading since he has to buy coins that spiked to ensure long-term profits), while poorer players wouldn't be able to buy decent deals the richest player is already buying. This makes money in the long run, by my estimation taking 3-4 weeks to pay off the taxes spent on auctions (not factoring in effect on adjustment trading, just dividends).
- A part of that pooled dividends is given to the company's "HQ", the player who represents the entire company on the leaderboard, in this case priestess. This is done to elevate the company's overall standing on the leaderboard - this is done, as crusty jpeg anon noted in the thread, for prestige and to prove that the #1 spot still can be taken with effort of more than 1 player, which would have been completely impossible with individual play
since having higher profits than cypher is possible, but the edge you'd have compared to the exponential nature of the dividends would mean it'd take years to outpace him.
