I would have thought more people, would have pulled there isk out, i didn't expect me to be the only one, NOT that i complain about the time i did it, even though it was 7 days before my first planned withdraw.
the main reason i took 7 days of my plan was that i needed the isk badly, and therefore had to pull the plug, and some times that seams to be a good thing.
In the next event, if there is one, i might try to do some more calculations on how to make this a riskfree event, so that i can earn some more isk, whit out being afraid of losing it.
There must be a way to do this, and i might even have an idea already , so until next time, have fun investing your isk.

Conceptually at least that is something I don't want to happen, in so far as this event is supposed to be about the inherent risk behind investments.
There definitely will be another event. It may be structured differently.
And what I'd ask is : If there is a risk free way of playing the event won't everyone do it, and would that stop the risk free method from working?

You would create looped reasoning, so, yes, I think.

For what it's worth, I actually think this "game" is really neat. It seems moderately simple at first, but there's actually quite a bit going on under the surface I suspect. If one starts from the assumption that the rules as written will actually be obeyed,(a risky assumption to be sure) there's probably quite a few strategies that have entirely different payouts depending entirely on other people's strategies being utilized. The rules probably need a bit of tweaking and I think it gets more interesting if there's a moderate to large amount of players involved. If there's only 10 it's sort of boring. |

Was an interesting experiment, thanks for running it :)
I shall now roll around in my 25m ISK, basking in the glory of my 150% return. |

Thank you for your comments.
I plan to tweak it as you said and keep running it. More players would certainly improve it. I was admittedly surprised at passing the 1bn mark on such a whacky concept, particularly since this is my first "venture" in MD.

This is a pretty cool idea. Can we please add this concept to the official definition of Scambling? Nobody uses that word anymore. |
