Khaos, do you think you could make a column that is a bot that acts according to a formula or rule set
It's your turn in Cthulhu Wars
It's your turn in Squirrel Wars
It's your turn in Demon Wars
It's your turn in Wall Street Wars

I've been thinking I wouldn't mind a couple turn ordering rules

I know the actual game is blind submissions and that might be a good thing for us to do turn 1 but I like how it flows after that. These last two turns are weird though, I'm pretty sure I would have made the same move last turn if drk hadn't acted first but it felt a little cheesy to know, and now this round it would feel super cheesy to go after drk, and maybe his move last turn would have differed if mine was locked in first, I can't answer that

So I was thinking maybe just formalize it being OK to wait for whoever is in first

Rolling in and shouting a decision without thinking it through has gotten me this far, but out of respect to you and the game I don't want that for this round. How about PMing our moves to someone?

If that's what you wanna do then go for it. I've been enjoying thinking about the game a bit and it doesn't ruin it for me if you play how you wanna play

I've finished my move anyway

I like this probably. Too busy before now to do it, but long term!

I've also put my move in, sold 96 Rybills and back into 96 S&P's. It would have been 122 Retrophins, for the alternate future.

Interesting! Without yields I believe Skeletor is $89 richer than I. Great game!

The correct course of action was, naturally, to go back into Retrophin.
