He_Hate_Me Wrote:You just stated my point. The amount you lose directly correlates to how much youve made. You wanna jump all crazy in the beginning, your gonna get HId. Thats the checks and balances of MC.
By my math, if you lose the same amount next session you'll have over 250 billion in nw on the last day. Easy win. My point here, is that HI insurance seems to work properly. Even just 40 percent of your losses this session was over 200 bil.
Basically the point is you arent supposed to get that high in nw haha. If you would have stayed low in nw all session, youd have lost nothing. YOU chose to jump early, and in exchange put yourself out as a target. Top 10 will ALWAYS be losing the most. ALWAYS
I never argued the fact that I put myself in the position to get hit. That isn't the point.
The point is everything is relative. When there was a 2.1 billion cap on funds it was still close at the end, racers and hitters. When that was removed... guess what? It's still close at the end.
The point is no matter what a persons NW everyone is going to be close. The 250NW at the end is far from a guaranteed win, because that means the hitters will be pulling down $20 bill hits, and given they get 20 attempts per full creds and I can work a max of twice for $10bill nothing changes from how it is now.
My point in all of this is it's ridiculous that only cash is insured, you made that point yourself as that wasn't what was advertised. Look at the math... 13% payout? How does that solve or balance anything.
Oh I know I could have kept all cash instead of calendars, but again to what end? I may have had I know how badly Cres coded this to begin with but I went on the premise that what was said when I bought it was right. Cres dropped the ball here, badly. Raymond got the idea implemented in a hurry, listened to player input that was great, too bad it turned out how it did. If it even made any kind of sense at all I'd drop the subject, but it doesn't....
