My internet cut out at 5 PM PST yesterday, so it wasn't until just a little while ago that I saw my most recent profits from selling affordable cocoa beans, cocoa powder and milk.

I hit the $2,000,000 mark for the first time since starting up again, so I decided to invest a lot into improving the quality of my products. I now have q31 milk production technology, q30 cocoa bean production technology, q24 cocoa powder production technology, and a stockpile of q57 water. After spending around $900,000 on this and expanding my dairy research and development to 40m˛, I started to wonder if I might be able to begin production or at least the development of quality chocolate milk within the span of this weekend, sun and it's bastard child the wind permitting.

Then I realize that if I am to do this I'm going to have to rush and have it done by tomorrow, because my friend wants me to join him in another online game when I go over to his place this Sunday. Of course, I'm a patient man, so I suppose I don't have to rush anything. I might just make it a goal to start the development of chocolate milk production technology and perhaps paper carton production technology within the next day or so.

Just as soon as I can perhaps produce q40 milk or have q40 milk production technology, whichever happens first. I'm not going to sperg all the way to q50+ milk just yet, as I don't think I can outsource it that far right around now. Regardless, so far I have not seen a single person out-produce me in regards to quality for cocoa beans and cocoa powder. Though one particular entrepreneur is getting rather close to doing so in regards to the cocoa powder itself.

...Also is it kind of a dick move to buy out some nooblet's q1 milk that they were selling at $0.50 for a total of ~$50,000, just so I can sell my latest batch of 200,000 units of q27 milk at the same price for twice the profit? Perhaps, just like it might be to throw away that choob's milk because I absolutely have no use for it.

I guess I could say I donated it to the Itty Bitty Kitty committee, but that might be a lie.

No. I do that all the time.

If anyone is in the market for aluminum, I can provide you some fairly cheaply.

Definitely not. He got paid, didn't he?

Not the reply I was expecting, but sure why not?

I wasn't sure if it was or not, hence why I was asking. Though come to think of it, why did I ask? Lack of sleep, that's why.

Also, I'm kind of disappointed with several of my newer buyers just buying teeny-tiny bits of my stock at a time. Someone decided that they'd buy sixty units of milk and sixty units of cocoa powder from me for whatever reason while I was out walking. I figure they're doing that because they might want to stock their stores or something, but still. When people do that it kind of bothers me in an obsessive-compulsive kind of way.

Oh well, most of the time it's only a handful of individuals that buy all of my product, if some sperg doesn't undercut my already-low prices. Speaking of that, I've got to check my prices to make sure I'm not being undercut again.

…Nope, not a sperg in site. It just looks like my regular buyers aren't up to buying my stock right about now. I think I'll make some gazpacho and a couple grilled cheese sandwiches while I wait.

I'd want some. What's your in-game name?

Ugh, getting tired of this game. Pace is far too fast for a browser game, too much clicking, it's more like a MUD's pace. The Auto Union project doesn't seem so bad, though, because the work is spread out among lots of people. Maybe the right way to play this game is to split up a company among 4 people and get some kind of communication.

Autounion as a social experiment failed  :P

In the end we had to ditch communication and just enable each job to do its stuff end to end; turned out pretty well but everyone is doing its things rarely organizing something big

You just need proper management, and need to hire less people. It kinda reminds me of clans/guilds in a lot of online games.

The weird system where everyone gets fired in 7 days and where you have to repay money to rehire them doesn't help socially.
