Post subject: calculating expenses when negative |
|
|
i was just playing in a game w/Oddchick and I was completely ahead w/almost 2900 in credit ahead in cash and I had dark blues and reds fully upgraded..... all she had was purples upgraded to 4x and browns fully upgraded....... on the last few turns i think i messed up by not fully downgrading before passing go on the last turn tho it was suspicious... she was gonna loose if she passed go but i had -1000 w/2 reds left while i passed go and was charged over 900 when passing then landed on her electricity on a doubles roll again and lost... totally bogus
does anyone know the calculation for the 900 charge for passing go... at the time the board had the go at ~ -500
i know theres extra if u have upgrades and are negative but 400 extra is a bit steep
that was bogus b/c i was totally winning down to about my last 3 turns
now shes beaten me 2x in a row and this is unacceptable |

Good question yahoo.
The amount you pay extra when in the negative has nothing to do with the status of start value (in a sense). If you are in debt, you pay 20% of your debt in interest. So if the start value is at 200, and you are -100 you will pay 20 dollars in interest. Since the start value covers that you will be payed a 180 paycheck.
**By dollars I mean cash. Sorry for my American Imperialism, it was not intentional. Edited by Magflag12
Now for your instance; you were -1000 as I understand so you ahd to pay 20% interest + the 500. Ultimately leaving you with a score of 1700. The next time you went around you had to pay 340 in interest vs. the 200 in interest from the last round. so 340+ 1700+ 500 (or so) equals 2840.
I believe this is how it works, I do not know if that has been changed, but thats what it was when I was around a few years back. _________________ If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins.

In short, you get whatever is on go (or you pay if go is negative), and you also pay 20% interest on debt.
eg1: Go is at 200, and I have positive money. I get 200.
eg2: Go is at 200 and I have -100. I get 200, but I pay 20, which is 20% of 200. So overall I get 180
eg3: Go is at -200, and I have positive money, so I get -200-0=-200, ie: I pay 200
eg4: Go is at -200, and I have -100. So, I pay 200, plus I pay 20% of 100, which is 20. Therefore, I pay a total of 220, and get nothing.
