Re: [Rails-devel] Variations on share price modification after sales

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Any rule variation to be implemented in Rails poses the same question: is it worth while to make it configurable in XML, or is it so heavily tied to just one game (or maybe two) that it can as well be hardcoded in a game-specific class? 

See below for the status of the cases raised.

Is there a way to implement these fairly common rules that about how to modify share price after sales?

1. Current Market Value falls one space per "block" of shares sold.
 
Is hardcoded in StockRound_1835.  Which other games have this feature?

2. Current Market Value falls only when the President sells shares (no effect if other shareholders sell).
Not yet.

While considering this, consider other related issues:
*	whether you can sell in the first SR
		<NoSaleInFirstSR/> (e.g. 1835)
*	may sell companies that haven't operated, as normal (1830)
Default.
*	may sell companies that haven't operated, but receive the destination share price rather than the starting one (as in 1844)
	Not yet.
*	may not sell companies that haven't operated (most DH games) 
		<NoSaleIfNotOperated/> (e.g. 1835)
