Re: [Rails-devel] Shares and certificates (was: Further 1835 testing)

Yes, and that is exactly what we do behind the scenes. 

I have just added a moveover message (tooltip) that shows the split of the grand total share percentage that has so far been the only display per player per company.

Note that several games have particular certificates that have different sizes, such as 18TN having a 30% presidency for IC, several of Gary Mroczka's games have doubled non-director shares for the last share (I believe 1835 also does this).  So, you need to be able to order the certs available from the IPO specifically.  1844 also has 4 share companies, and many have 5-share companies that become 10-share companies.  18Dixie has preferred certificates which do not count against the 60% limit.

 

So, I think you do want to model particular certificates owned by a player, rather than just keeping track of share count / percentage.
