November 1622 - Day 5

Martti continues operating in the market. Of the various lowball bids and long asks, some have been matched by another player! Let's check how much money was made. The listing is from Change Log, filtered by player and newest only:

It takes some patience to read because money (m) is treated as an item, so every trade consists of 2 rows, one for the moving of money, the other for the merchandise. The 7 rows above therefore, refer to 4 separate events:
- Purchase by serje of 7*CAN
- Purchase by Troy of 150*MEAT
- Sale by djjacket of 5*FOIE
- Dividend of 28*VEG, with
note "VEG 4th round 1622"

The winter is soon coming and these were the last vegetables coming in. What happens next with the market is 3 "spoil" rounds in the first half of the year:
- First because it is too cold
- Second because the VEG is getting old
- Third because the summer has come.
Right now should be the cheapest time to eat VEG, and the market does not disappoint. Own produce is consumed and more bought @ 989. As a result, the health challenge turned Moderate, and the plan is to finish it tomorrow with about 50*MEAD.

A quick analysis shows that meat was even sold cheaply comparing to the current ask of 7,999 m! But it will come down...

The purchase of FOIE @ 40,011 was for resale, but at what price? Market ask is 64,000. Because the new batch is coming in next month, and annual spoiling the month after that, the price may be pressured. 59,750 was selected as a magic number.

At this point, the cooling air had lead Martti to dream about fatty meat again. Some months ago was the season for taking pigs, but everything was so new and pig cost such much (2.0 mil). Martti took the garden instead then at 0.5 mil and was stunned now to see the ask price increased to 1.1 mil in the aftermarket!

But pigs are still available at 2.0 mil.. the price includes the facility, and Martti knows how to take care of them, and the meat is at a high price, and the slaughter season (for dividends) is next month... SOLD!

After some more adjustments of bids and asks - Martti is almost penniless as long as money balance goes, after the pig purchase - it is time to take rest in the free shelter, and dream about the pig who frankly has about equal conditions (or better, since the church is cold, which the pigs cannot stand).

  1. Vamos, Martti! Not a player here (wandered in from bitcointalk.org), and would NEVER be able to justify learning to play this game to my wife... LOL. Best of luck, Martti, don't depend too much on your King!

  2. Thanks Robert! Don't worry I have not even seen King nor received any favors... But will! The Jubilee is approaching and I am awaiting for gifts (although should not say so of course ;) )
