I don't want to do this. First we would have to code it - 3 months (as we
have lots of projects we need to get sorted in advance) and it would have
to change depending on circumstances and agreed discount rate. I can see
many "schemes" that we can possibly put together which might be considered
useful but would end up penalising certain players such as those on a low
budget. On average players run 2 positions each (pretty good rough
estimate this is). At present the game is payable and playable by pretty
much anyone. To give a discount would mean that we would then have to up
the price (or lose income) for players running less games right?

                        How about a discount on playing 4 or more games if
the average player plays only two -- i must be way above average as am
currently in 11 games and would have to scale that back by about a third with
the price increase !

Why a 3rd with a 15% increase shouldn't that be 1/6th? Little confused by these sort of statements.

Clint, we Americans don't use calculators. We use "fuzzy math".

In fuzzy math, 1/6th IS "about a 3rd". Glad to help,

Be honest Russ, it's really a factor of your superior
American education system.. :wink:

For my case, I'll be forced to cut down by half or so,
mostly because I was overextended anyway and just couldn't
justify the over $10 Canadian per turn, since Wife handles
the books (she'd run my economy in Cameth Brin if she didn't,
and I quote "...hate that damn game!" ;). This blow has
to do with straw and desert chiropractors more than
anything else. As for Harlequin being the "messenger",
how can you (CC) refer to my purchasing as much as I
can afford trying to hurt MEGames? I'm defending myself
from MEGames hurting me, if it has to be personal (??). I
know, I know, MEGames isn't hurting me, it's the tax
laws... Of course, if we lined up and shot all the people
who ever devised new tax laws, the 14 of us humans on
Earth would be squatting around nattering in our new
and improved clucking language about "fire...hot".
And J.M - sorry, you're not rid of me. But then, in
130, we finally got rid of you, eh? I hope my decreased
odds of landing myself as a ... ahem ... "neutral" in
one of your games work out favourably...

Honestly, I wouldn't know as I went to private school my whole life and had
all kinds of math stuffed down my throat. I still use fuzzy math, though. :slight_smile:
