I guess I'll have to do a few rolls manually until isolated can code. Meh, time to get off my lazy Moose ass...

Alright moose... I was thinking...
Instead of having a set number of lots, what if the lots were dynamic? Perhaps say, unowned owns 15 lots more than what member's own at all times... or... unowned owns 1 lot for every lot a member owns or something.
It'll stablize the odds a little more instead of greatly fluxerating with every group of 100/50 lots.
Whatcha think? I dunno, I just did like 15 rolls in my script and only once did someone land on another person's lot. You could keep the odds of rolling 0 and 99 the same though...
I dunno... it's kinda weirdish thinking about it all and how'd that all be accomplished and etc. I suppose if you could get 50 people to sign up and keep a constant number...

Odd, when I did the rolls manually there barely a day where there wasn't some sort of activity in the last round. Iso, your system would allow for less flexibility for members choosing a lot. Also, I have some people to add once I generate my list, we should have more players this round since I lowered the price.

theres only one thing i dont understand about this game, i've seen a bunch of people on the chart with a whole lot less minerals on the chart then what they actually have, do they send you extra money with the 25 to make that number or just pay as they go? (once i find this out and i get money i'll probly play next month)

I think I'm just going to let isolated finish the coding and push everyone for this month over to the next one.

Alright...
This game as is pushes way too much minerals into the economy. The main reason is... there's no way to loose money except for the -10's offsetted by +10's. The cost to buy a lot is rather small compared to the gain potential.

This is about a full month of rolls. The profit would have been hella higher if I didn't change lot 99 to 100 mineral gain.
My suggested changes:
Lot 99 is the same as Lot 0 (bonus roll).
Bonus roll 0 and 99 is 150 minerals.
Bonus rolls have higher chance to loose minerals.
Monsters/mines/something takes three lots each round and landing on it means -50 minerals. After someone lands on these rounds, they disappear.

Can it happen that we get into minuses because of lot loses or when we lose all our money we simply lose the lot?

You go into the negatives... however, loosing the lot would be an interesting twist. Hmmm..
Anyways, although some people already know this judging by the 8 or so lots bought...
Sen Lots is now live.
Cost has been changed to 35 minerals a lot.
Some other little details that isn't in the "how it works" yet (0 and 99 is now a bonus roll).
