In Flames We Trust – Corp Thread (Lien)
 
Welcome to the In Flames We Trust corporation thread! In this thread the corp will be discussing all sorts of things.
 
If you’re not part of the corp, don’t worry! You can read the thread or post in the thread as well.
 
In Flames We Trust will try to hold most discussions here. For any discussions that need to be super top secret (maybe when we’re trying to win a tender), we’ll retreat to PMs. But we’ll be discussing things out here that would usually be kept behind closed doors.

This escalated quickly..................
 
If you don't mind, I will share my suggestions:
 
1) About tenders.
I think that we must distinguish 2 different cases:
 
The first case is, when a new or inexperienced player requests some advices or resources for tendering. Honestly, I think that in this case, the player who gives advice or provides resources should not expect any compensation for the action. In this case, the aim is to help the smaller players to develop, not to see tenders as an investment
 
The secondcase is when 2 experienced players get together to win some tenders. In this case the aim of the cooperation is clearly to earn profit, therefor all prizes should be equally divided, or divided in a way they agreed between each other.
 
2) About contests.
If someone is helping a new player in wining the contest, the new player may give a little part of the prize to the player who helped him. For example, I helped a player with advices and resources during a contest for president, he finished 2nd or 3rd, and he gave me 1 VIRT in exchange. Not to much, but I think it was fair, because my aim was not to earn profit, but to help others.
 
Also I think that the Corporation should not interviene or regulate tendering and the division of prizes. However what must be done, that new players or the participants of the contest for presidents must be prioritized. So the new player or the participant of the CoP should write a message that he is trying a tender, so noone else should compete with him/her.
 
In my opinion, apart form helping new players the aim of the Corporation should be to improve each others business opportunities by providing surplus scarce resources on dicounted prices to each other, whcih the producer can not use efficiently. For example, I have a high qulity grain farm, but I am not intrested in producing food or livestock (except bees), so I sell all my quality 10 grain for $ 1 per unit.

The secondcase is when 2 experienced players get together to win some tenders. In this case the aim of the cooperation is clearly to earn profit, therefor all prizes should be equally divided, or divided in a way they agreed between each other.

I agree although there is a 3rd case where a player wins tenders on his own without any help from the corporation. For example, I set up over 100 labs and factories to research every technology so I could win every science tender which took a very long time and I would not be willing to give all the virts I worked hard to win to a corporation that did not help me win them.
 
2) About contests.
If someone is helping a new player in wining the contest, the new player may give a little part of the prize to the player who helped him. For example, I helped a player with advices and resources during a contest for president, he finished 2nd or 3rd, and he gave me 1 VIRT in exchange. Not to much, but I think it was fair, because my aim was not to earn profit, but to help others.

I agree it's best if members voluntarily contribute to the corporation that helped them win.
 
Also I think that the Corporation should not interviene or regulate tendering and the division of prizes.

I agree. One virt can't be split and the person who won the tender should be able to get a reward for their accomplishment.
 
However what must be done, that new players or the participants of the contest for presidents must be prioritized. So the new player or the participant of the CoP should write a message that he is trying a tender, so noone else should compete with him/her.

I definitely 100% agree priority must be given to the contest for presidents especially tender week where 120 virts can be earned. I think all members of the corporation should be banned from competing in tenders against a corporate member during tender week.

Of course. I did not mention this scenario, because it seemed so evident for me..........
For example, Gendalf and me were competitors in various tenders, but neither of us asked the other one for the division of tenders or prizes. (btw, Gendalf loves to use the dumping method, which caught me by surprise, because I use the "sell less for higher price" method)

They call it blocking method. If the competitors use the same tactic against each other, the last day results can get real funny.
...
I offered numerous times in this thread my willingness to help in certain tender types. I'll do it again. I see the "In spite of the competition" tender type is clearly suited for cooperative play, so I can help on that without requesting for sharing the winnings. It's not up to me what you do with the winning.
 
I also have some ideas for "pseudo-shagreen". The lacking quality of the product from our side can be offset by some smart cooperative moves. I saw Gmoney once tried it. It would yield results if someone else complimented him with that tactic.

The question was NEVER about sharing winnings.
 
Like Jayman said, I have set up a shit load of labs myself and recently won a science tender which is all me.
The question was |never about sharing the winnings. The whole point of the post was to highlight how ridiculuos it is to operate independently when I can or someone else can look at my stores and my prices/quality/brand and adjust theirs accordingly.
 
Do you see the paradox now?

This is getting very boring, but I'll answer one last time.

Desolation72724
It is requested that all the people in the corp who are taking part in tenders co-ordinate their efforts and share the winnings among themselves.
Gmoney
The main thought: all tender virt winnings should be pooled back to the corp.
I must be very bad at english that I see contradiction in here.

I don't see a proper reason to categorize other tender types differently from science tenders. They all can be won without anyone's help.

I want to thank everyone who is helping me with my hostile takeover situation in Shikoku. The tax revenue for the region is about 4x normal and my friends from the corp are taking the top spots in influence in Fukuoka.
 
I am not sure when the results show up in the Governor's Council; it may be after the weekly tally that takes place Tuesday AM. I check the Council each day and it has not changed since 100 showed up with thumbs down. Please check Monday and Tuesday and change your Council vote to thumbs up when you appear in the Council.

A question for Jayman or anyone who has a script that simulates factory input and output:
 
I have a Tech 18 Mill. With Q1 Grain I get Q6.68 Flour. What Q input do I need for Q8.52 Flour? Is there any formula that I can use? Or does that break some rule? Right now I am making high Q flour with high Q grain and mixing with my Q6.68 flour to make Q8.52, but I think the scaling is such that I can make more of what I need by mixing the input (grain) rather than mixing the output (flour) as I am doing now.

gb, I have a tech 15 mill that produced Q8.01 flour with Q1.8 grain.  I have a second tech 15 mill producing Q7.99 flour from Q1.89 grain.  Neither has an improved millstone and both are at 100% efficiency, but I don't know what is causing the difference in quality.  My tech 15 mills that are using Q1 grain are producing Q5.81 flour.  This should give you a decent starting point if you decide to mix grain.

Hi guys,
 
I just wanted to urge you to invest in the "game consoles" industry. I have like 15 factories running, producing around 100,000 game consoles per update, and making more than $ 50,000 profit on each. This is insane.........
 
By the way, the grocery market is turning into a very lucrative business opportunity.
There is a huge supply of decent priced cigarettes, not to mention the newspapers and the honey. I am making approximatly $ 1 billion from 2 grocery stores...... it is quite decent I would say.
