no difference because

world market price = common market price

i can't even sell my nuclear electricity at Q256 compare to selling all my coal electricity at Q120

so unless i keep lowering to sell the high Q electricity at the low Q electricity price, which is why this quality concept is sooooo wrong !!!


THE PRICE OF A PRODUCT HAS TO BE BASE ON THE COST TO CREATE THE PRODUCT !!!

@Xon

Ok, now I get you. I have been thinking doing the CM again regardless of killing my Country just for the sake of fun. If that's the case, well then, I can put the CM back in again and just totally let it all go automatically with cancelling any contracts, but I do not wish to have all different kinds to make them.

As far as the ASQ Formula goes, should we leave it at Any or set them, I am still concern about the cost of the Corporation. If we want to make this work, otherwise, just ignore it.

Also I was told that having CM works on the Welfare Index too, which I think it does when I had mine set up. I just don't if I should do the CM and just go with the flow and let the GM totally play around with it as he likes too.

Well I say that you should be able to sell your products for what you want and the gm should come up with better ways to regulate the real avalability of active product and inactive countries should only account for a small percentage of available products on the market ..... Thus when you sell your products your not compete with some fake set up market your competing with your fellow presidents

"world market price = common market price"
When you purchase products on the World Market the price you pay is affected by Supply and demand, Quality and Player's Trade Strategies. The price you pay in the Common Market is affected by only Supply and demand and Quality.
So players in the World Market can mark up their products up to 200%, but not in the Common Market.

Secondly you can control the Supply Quality in the World Market, but you cannot in the Common Market. In the Common Market the best you can do is cancel contracts of a Quality you don't want and sign new contracts in hopes of getting one more in line with your wants/needs.

Third, in the World Market your supplies are dependent on availability. If there are shortages you might not get your supplies in a timely fashion. In the Common Market you are almost guaranteed continuous supply. Assuming the Corporation's signed Contracts do not exceed its sup
