Gnilraps is still wrong!
All Gnilraps did was write an article that just elaborated on the math I did above. If you read my article I actually dispelled the volume myth. Gnilraps would like to say that I should of not made my article so mean at the start. I think that I was well deserved for saying the Gnilraps has no idea what he is really talking about. He just produced a little math showing you would make higher profits, which I already presented my math in agreement. Gnilraps addressed Zero of my points in that we must create incentive structures.
We all know that economies can have functional cheaters in Gnilraps plan. So why not be a cheater when you can lose out on that extra profit. Sure maybe it could affect your future, but if you don't imagine what everyone else would do. That is my argument. Think its silly well then please research these things.
The prisoner's dilemma
The tragedy of the commons
I called Gnilraps out for his pollution formula btw because it was careless and obviously not thought out. Sure was it not crucial to his argument, yes. The point is that if he going to be careless and make obvious errors isn't that a sign of problems to come.
My man Jkeller made a I don't know if it was an accidental point or intentional. I am not sure what side he is on in this debate. Anyway... Gnilraps could stop cheating by pricing so low that it means cheaters will lose money. This is another solution that could work, but just like the government solution it really does not help anyone it just forces people into forced poverty and misery.
People often propose situations they think can help people. I am all in favor of Gnilraps wanting to try his plan. I am behind him 100% if he wants to try this. I am just pointing out that people will probably want to cheat and ruin it for everyone. I just think that his plan is naive and under thought out.
Gnilraps should not be uncalled out when he has a top article with such a plan. This is especially true to the fact that he has earned more money and got more votes for his articles than I have. I am trying to do real economic journalism here and provide people with good skeptical information. If Gnilraps wants to continue to not understand my points and people want to follow him despite me arguing for good well established economic points.
Here is a good introduction I found on youtube that should help people understand the points that I am making.

you have 3 scenarios best case worst case and middle of the road. lets say hrm is 0.25 so your best case scenario would be no pollution full region bonus therefore 545 middle of the road lets say 250 * 208% = 520 and worst case 482 in best case over10 days we get 5450 worst case 4820 = 630 difference so you gain 1.15 production each 10 days. even if there is cheaters the reduced pollution would be beneficial for all
"Gnilraps has no idea what he is really talking about"
He purchased #1 in the eUS, I think he has the receipt to prove he does know what he is talking about. You are just a con...venient tool for haters, I hope you enjoy it
Yes because he is #1 player that makes him qualified to talk about economic over someone who is studying business as a minor at a university where we are required to take classes in economics. I also can point to economic research that would agree with me and provide math to back it up, which I am also getting a minor in mathematics. I also am in the science program of my university getting a major in computer science which has standards you have to meet to get into the program and the courses cover not only software development, but courses involving applied mathematics and logic.
Someone how I am not qualified to talk about this and someone who just has plays a game for a long time an has spent a lot of money in the game is qualified in economics and math.
It seems to me from my own educational background that Gnilraps does not understand the ideas that I am bringing up in my article. Things are not as intuitive as they may appear on the surface. That is why they have invented mathematical models and collect empirical data.
how much are you paying a "university" to be this dumb???
Wow you consider someone in a good university studying science and math to be stupid. LOL. I am not paying that much I am pretty poor so I really can't afford university. Though intelligence and hard work I have earned scholarship that help me pay for this.
Most people who go to post secondary who are bumming around and stupid are like gender studies and psychology and those fake ITT Tech schools.
I am not supprised that I just get stupid comment probably from a bitter man or a butt hurt child. You can't even respond to my points so you talk shit son.
What qualifies a shit lord like you to call me dumb?
"Gnilraps could stop cheating by pricing so low"
No he couldn't. When I see a raw material being priced lower than normal, I buy it and resell it with standard price (and with profit, since there are no taxes). So, assume Gnilraps tries to sell his HRM at 0.2, while all the rest is at 0.25. How many seconds do you think it would take for all of his subpriced HRM to get bought by whoever gets to the market first and resold at 0.25 or even 0.24 for insta-profit. With tools such as erepublik-deutschland, we are talking about a global market, not a local one, so anyone in the world would have profit from buying his HRM and reselling it on any market. Not to mention that in this global economy, owners of the companies in eUSA might not live in the eUSA and might not care about the market there.
I was talking about finished goods not raw material.
Well, there he could lower the price, but it is hard to achieve with housing industry since prices are pretty high (q1 house is ~600 cc, others are multiple of that). If he underprices too little, it won't change a bit. If he underprices more, then reselling profits start being applied. You need to control at least 30-40% of the world market to be able to dictate the prices, otherwise you are just wasting your time, I think.
I tested gniraps idea. but it made no impact.
i did not produce any q1 houses nor house raws in Florida yesterday.
and pollution is still 25% 🙁
Poor jkeller, no one is following Gnilraps idea.
Its a good thing that no one is following his plan 🙂
