hussaa gave 2 pinks to glactic to make set for her for 1000
as glactic at -200 start had only 1700 cash in hand she was not in a position to pay much above this price
even if a base price of 2 pink is more than 1000 it doesnt mean u cant sell below that if trade is going to benefit both parties
here hussa got valuable 1000 in cash to survive & to improve his chance from last position whereas glactic bought pink at -200 start with low cash in hand, as she had cyan & orange set fully upgraded it was easy for her to degrade orange set & to upgrade pink to level 2
at the end glactic won the game & hussa came 3rd
so i think this particular trade was a good1 for both parties as both advance their position from where they were before the trade
trade was a good 1 so no action taken
impotant : when people talk about the base value they should consider the credit value more not the orignal fixed price of a particular card while trading _________________

Look at the logic of your statement.
Because the cheat benefited them, and they advanced their position, it makes it okay?
Plus your statement about "was not in a position to pay more" also is faulty.
If you aren't in a position to pay the correct amount, the trade should NOT be made. Otherwise, it's just a cheat _________________

For the last time, I wasn't trying to spam!!!! I simply do not want this to become a flame like many curent posts have become, because i can already see the unsettlingness of this argument and uncertain answer to it.
Good day!  |

Kreso's rules on trading
Quote: | Cooperative play is considered cheating. There are two possibilities, applicable only when more than 3 players are playing:
a) Two players conducted a trade, where the trade is obviously advantageous only for one player.
b) During auction, a player didn't bid the price up despite that being obviously disadvantageous for him. The auction is then won by another player for obviously too low price.
Here "advantageous" means increasing the chance to get better rank at the end of the game. Trades conducted in 3+ player games must be advantageous to both parties involved in trade.
|
As the trade advanced both players positions within the game, or gave both a chance of gaining a better end place. The trade was therefore mutually beneficial. So cannot be treated as a cheat trade. At the time of trading, there was no certain outcome of who would get what end place. |

It's not "getting out of hand" at all.
I'd just like an explanation then on the thread I posted above, and why there were two different rulings for basically the same situation? _________________

ibullpaul 25% points reduction (due to being new player and 50% would take points below starting 1000)
I have ruled the trade as a cheat as it did not benefit both players in furthering their end rank position within the game. It only aided Franz-Josef in gaining 1st. Ibullpaul came last in 4th. |

Each game is different, what is good in one game is not in another. There are many variables in every game. |

Apparently, the rules are one of these variables.
I have nothing more to say-

The game you are comparing this one against was back in MARCH.
Since I also did not post the trade log itself at the time, you are asking way too much, my memory is good, but NOT that bloody good.
But as my post on that game stated, the trade did NOT ADVANCE both players. The game you posted today DID advance them.
Therefore there is no comparison. |
