[Karlito]

Ties are settled by experience, right?

Sorry, I am still getting the srfc attack message. I tried with Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari and still it came up.

Heh, what the hell is wrong with your computer!

Could it be some sort of firewall?

Do any other sites give this sort of glitch?

Do you have another computer that you could try it out on?

[beorn080]

Sorry to hear that Fey. Thanks for trying at least.

[E. Albright]

Karlito: yes. So If Korbin gets one more and Antonio doesn't, Korbin wins.

AFD: given how badly the eRepublik website treats you, your willingness to try as you did is greatly appreciated.

Weird, I've had the vote button all day up until now and it suddenly dissapeared. I can't find the elections results, only a list of 2 (there should be three) candidates with no vote tally. Bugs...

I repeat: ☼Programming☼ (which menaces with spikes of bug leather)

[E. Albright]

Gah, down to the wire. 66-66, with an hour to go.

[Cheeetar]

8-ish minutes to go and it's a tie. What happens then?

[Karlito]

Korbin King wins!  But only because he has more experience.  This should be an interesting month.

[Wooty]

Woo! Korbin wins!

also, another fun bug

Heh. The site always seems to get unstable right after an election ends.

Maybe we needcreate newspaper article those want pay money  for cost Q3 house can sign up for, that way we know who we can sell it too and resume production.

We can try to set up commissions, but I think we'll have few takers. With 0 profit, I put our production costs at no less than 900 baht plus labor. Let's be fair and assume labor will be a minimum of 10 baht per person per day (if we're doing this on commission for an external customer, there's no reason to stint on labor costs). That puts it up to, say, 1300 baht. We want a profit, though... so let's assume we'll bill our labor at 15 per person per day. That's now a minimum of 1500 baht. It could be as high as 1800 baht if we can't get reasonably priced Wood. And all this for 120 baht per worker, for eight day's work. If we call 10 baht per day the "prevailing wage" and split the difference between low and high Wood costs, asking 200 baht extra for labor (i.e., to each be paid 15 baht per day instead of 10) will be asking ~13% profit. We can offer to do this, but they'll almost certainly scream bloody murder, simply based on the size of the price (1500-1800 THB).

Again, though, we can do this. I'm willing to if that's the consensus. My personal opinion is against it, to wait for the Wood market to improve, but I'll follow the majority's wishes.

If we not buy wood in thai land then how is it going to improve wood industry to better prices?.

[E. Albright]

Currently, more Wood in eThailand is consumed than is produced. This isn't an absolute crisis yet, because there's still a lot of the companies with admin stock. But as it stands, there's more frequently no Wood on the market than there is Wood. Our no longer consuming 70-75 Wood a day will not change this, as we hadn't been buying Wood yet (we have a couple hundred admin Wood left)... and if we're still working in the Construction field, we'll actually still be consuming that Wood, even if we aren't the ones buying it. If we don't change work domains, our consumption of Wood remains the same, it's just someone else is responsible for buying it for us to consume.

[e] The Wood market will probably improve most noticeably from more people working in it. A wait-and-hope strategy isn't the most proactive thing imaginable, but aside from going and working in the Wood industry ourselves, there's not much we can do to balance supply and demand... or to affect the wages which are driving the high prices.
