My bad. You're right, I was citing the wrong column. Though now that I look at it more closely, he has 3.6mio sunk into a R&D that produced Q12 something, I am guessing chickens, and another R&D that produced Q11 in natural gas also. Which is curious. Not accusing him of anything, but that is some serious researching maneuvers and investments.

Ouch, maintenance cost me 300K, that hurt should have expanded before 12:00.

Next, who is Sean Wright and how does he have 12.2M already? I can't even see what his 600M^2 store is so I'll assume he has two or three separate stores.

Wow.

A bunch of strange companies on net worth list.

Obvious Sean Wright is either using an exploit or knows something we don't.

After one day, my networth is -29k, and my farmers market sales have dropped to even worse levels than yesterday. I guess I should suicide and restart. Stocking a retail shop with B2B fruits wasn't such a good idea

This thing is so far from what it should be that I am not sure anything but exploits and super products is a good idea. I have a -68.7K net worth, after taking this morning's Welfare check! Maintenance was 130K on 4 factories, 2 R&D and 2 stores. I can't sell much of anything in the stores as the demand is either met-and-then-some, or my stores can't sell higher Q goods at a lower price than my lower Q/higher priced competitors. Go figure.

I see we dropped the quality of the goods, and upped the prices on the import market. Which means we are forced to go with even less quality for just as high a price on the B2B. Could this be because every other exporter in the world is too stupid to sell Econosia stuff it can afford? Must be that "realistic free market simulation" I keep hearing about. Is that why the voting sites are showing us with those little red "down" arrows?

I know I have made a couple of mistakes. But I ain't that stupid.

I don't know about tons. I am profitable and still have my little half a million buffer cash.

I certainly don't believe that Sean Wright made over $16M in b2b sales on day one by any way other than cheating.

I am also profitable ( 2M networth at daily update, I guess this is not that bad.. even if today it's far from beeing as good as yesterday ).

About cheating, I hope Scott will have some time to look at some suspicious cases... I think most of the cheating is coming from B2B Market with multi accounts and issue is that it can be done without beeing busted by community since we do not see B2B transactions.. Maybe it would be a good thing to see them... Later on Scott should maybe hire few trusted gamemaster to keep the game clean with good reactivity ( as he cannot be checking the game all day long and he need time to focus on game development )

I'm not sure if Im going to fail yet. Im going to have to buy water and electricity soon which could kill me. I should have spent research money on more store space or something.

I hear ya Clemen. I am sure that I bit off too much to start. I bought land because I wanted a certain industry, so I thought I should have 4 factories. I don't think a well was a great idea in hindsight. And I needed 2 R&D. But I bought a store figuring I could buy off the import market to keep it running until I could grow into it with vertical productions. I think I can salvage this thing, but some of the other issues are just getting too aggravating to want to deal with for "entertainment" time. There are other games out there that are still fun.

Or just open all b2b logs to everyone and allow community policing via reporting suspicious behavior.
No real reason b2b needs to be secret, so far as I can tell.
