Lost 2 trillion

hey guys i lost 2 trillion dollars in cash... my assets level also went down so i know it didnt get transfered into weapons or materials.... i lost it before the end of the game year so cant check my cash changes page to see if my country bought anything... any idea where this cash went?

my country is An Saor Poblacht de Ardglass on WG

You lost nothing and it is hard to understand why you say so.

you have purchased huge amounts of materials, including some that are not used by the population and are never bought automatically.

this includes 4.5B tons of sand that was bought manually.
also wheat and cocoa. round numbers of tons, never used by the population and purchased manually.

december of 3029 i lost 2 trillion in cash BEFORE any major purchases of materials 4 months before to be exact..... and if i simply converted my cash into materials as you say why has my total assets decreased 4 trillion dolleuros in the past 6 months... the value changes of the materials ive purchased cannot be that extreme...but ok even if your right hopefully ill get my money back when i sell the commodities i bought when they go into demand

My guess is initially that you forgot to specify quality when purchasing and received some higher quality product than you intended. Any number of things can contribute to the sudden loss of assets. Fluctuations in valuations of corporations(especially if you have a large number of state corporations rather than private investors), price moves in the commodities you bought or already have in your stock among other things.

You should realize that there are no cash losses.
cash does not disappear unless you use it.

materials that were purchased manually and especially strategic stock of materials that are not used on monthly bases, might not show on the total of materials you have.

If there is a case where more cash is gone than you expected, try to figure out why. but cash just disappearing is no option.

I lost over a quad in 2012. I'll swap your losses for mine.

I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away.

do you need to specify quality?? i didn't why do you need to?

You do not have to specify quality.

If you don't, you get whatever is available on the market at that moment.

if you do, you get products with a quality level as close as possible to what you asked for. At the end, it depends on the availability of qualities on the market.

yah thats what i thought it shouldnt make a difference when i resell it

The materials you purchased CAN be extreme if you don't specify quality when ordering.

Was I not clear on THAT point? It is the best advice you got on the thread so far.

Never choose "Any quality" when ordering, or you'll likely get a high quality product which will amount in a higher purchase than what you think you ordered.
