Total gold coins in circulation in sc?

Crafty humans can find their shelter individually. They can make a shelter far superior then any other animal, the same goes for food. We don't because we PREFER not need a higher quality then other animals. A person can make cabin by hiis self, and throw down a deer trap, dig holes use sticks to knock down fruits. Make spears to throw at honey combs, move rocks for shelter or safety, that was a weird comment.

GC is a good concept, if you can buy everything in game money then you can buy population by having good corporations? GC is super space age awesome money that has a price. If I try to give cuba a billion dollars to give me their country it would never happen, but if I try siper space age awesome money maybe they will. The only problem is the balancing issue if its impossible to get then whats the point? If people are willing to sell it or buy it but its intrisic value is much higher then the maximum sales price then there is no selling it buying it.

Ok Drew, I have a challenge for you. Get dropped off in a jungle or proper forest or antarctic, where ever, and see if you can come out four seasons later. No technology, assistance, communication etc. I'll even let you have a piece of flint.

Unless you are Bear Grylls, Ranulph Fiennes or similar, you can request your tombstone before you go.

I think you are all missing the main point I made in that post - we cant live in peace amongst our own species - hardly makes us 'perfection' ay?

i'll agree with the last part, but drop a gorilla in the artic! But I can survive in the jungle for a year, most fit people could. I can't survive in the artic because our species is not designed for it. The reason I won't go to the jungle is because I don't want to. Just because we all have fancy computers doesn't mean we aren't the most adaptable species that can handle any environment. Because of our brain we can hunt with a spear gun or traps, because of our hands and brain we can make tools to build a more solid and protective shelter than ANY other species that is at least the size of mole. I find it really peculiar that you think differently. A freakin lion can easily get picked off while sleeping not a human with a door though

well, two currencies in a country is just confusing.

if gc is as good as some of you mentioned, then let's take out sc$ and every corps will generate gc instead of sc$

well, some people can survive in any environment, and some people when outside of their comfort zone they freeze and die

humans are animals, so like all animals we want our territory and control over that. there has not been any living organisms that do not want their own territory or fight for their survival.

As demonstrated, if nothing else, relation/ratio of GC a SC$ can be manipulated/adjusted for desired effects. It does not matter how much SC$ one can hold, what matters is how well those SC$ translate to something meaningful, like real assets.

@tuco,
that's what i'm seeing too that SC$ is of little meaning since GC is what buys countries, populations, and other game assets, as well as direct trading with US$.

having both SC$ and GC in the game seems just to provide a great avenue for the gm/owner to manipulate the value of one's country/empires at will. also as someone mentioned that when it's time to renew your membership, and you don't have any GC left but lots of SC$, then you have to go to your credit card to renew. it's more like a trap, something similar to bite and switch marketing.

my experience so far in this game, in less than 90 earth days, is that sc can be a great game, with lots of players at many different levels, and fighting for resources/assets.

it's just quiet sad that every now and then, lots of countries with presidents become available on the map. if only if it would be that for you to get a country in this game, you have to wait in line and there is a waiting roster for countries to become available.

Off topic, just a side note. Humans are, due to our brain size, the most adaptable species on the Earth. This quality carried us to where we are now - dominating this planet. Perhaps, large number of us lost the skills and knowledge needed to survive in a forest jungle, but what we call culture is not imprinted in us permanently. We can still kill, we can still fight, we can still find solutions, we can still use our environment to our advantage. It is quite possible that only thing which can threaten our existence is our own ignorance and arrogance as there is no force on this planet to wipe us out.

The debate started with "perfection form of the animal kingdom". If by "perfection" is meant: the most capable, than it could be. However, predisposition is only one element of success, and evolution, as a general process, is not concerned with capabilities, but with actual and demonstrated abilities.

Well, bollocks to all of you. I would rather have my dogs than humans, so that says it all for me.

=)

on the portal page, the total awards = 46,824 gcs

is this the total number of gc that has been awarded to players in this game or is this the total gc that are circulating in the players community?

I would be weary from taking financial advice from someone named Madoff. Just saying.

^^^^^Very funny!^^^^^^

Re: perfection of form in animal kingdom:
That would be Michelle Viscusi, from season 4 of Top Shot.

Michelle Viscusi's hot with that weapons, looks like a m16?

seems that no gc, then no moving up the game

trading of gc has been very quiet these days,
anyone out there with several thousands to sell?

i'm looking to stockup
paypal if va is still not working

I have been trying to buy some of those "thousands of GC that trade hands every day" for several days now, no one is selling. Not surprising; I wouldn't sell either. It would be refreshing if reality would break thru to some people, or else if they admitted that they are trying to force the market to go solely with the almighty plastic...

@Maclean, I have no doubt that there is a desire for players to use the plastic more often.

However, if you place an order on direct trading to buy gold coins with SC$$, you will usually get the amount of gold coins that you request.

I place orders of 500 gold coins on there all the time, and I don't remember a time that I didn't get my request.

Try not to get into clusters of large orders, especially on the same day. I noticed your order sequence is behind a large order, and you have one behind you too. This may not be optimum.

I still think you will sell more than you expect, even in the less than desirable placing of your order.

I hope that helps you Maclean!

Peace,
Christopher

@christopher,
i think it's always available from the gm?
but not from other players?

the gm has to make it available, otherwise there would be no playmaker and would kill the whole gc concept.

i mean there is a huge difference between the gm and players, such as $36 for 360 gc versus $50 for 2000 gc....so why would you do with the gm?

for those players who have thousands of gc, why are you not selling?

I know it is very hard to understand that page but:

I checked it yesterday or the day before.
Ummagumma requested 1000 gold coins.
now, only 205 remain

he bought 795 gold coins in the last day or two.
There were more requests but this one is very clear.

Thousands of gold coins are exchanged every day.
the GM is not involved.

Why wont you let players pay more than you do allow now though Andy? Double the ceiling I reckon.

I just tried to sell 6.9T for 100gc yesterday this time. When i login 3 hours earlier. It was already filled and I got 100gc. In front of me, there were around 20T queueing.

So I guess GC trade still quite lively, just that u can`t dictate and negotiate the rates as u like.
