Re: [Rails-devel] Open 1835 bugs (was: Some questions regarding a new release)

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik,
you are right: I have only checked that I have enough money available to buy 
the 20% shares, forgot about the 50% markup.

Sorry for insisting on this, you were right both bugs are fixed.

Looking at test case B again  I realize that I do not really know how this
case is correctly handled, so I am asking the 1835 rule lawyers:

This test case features player T3 is president of WT with 50% (20% president + 
3 10% shares) and player T1 has 50% too (20% double share + 3 10% shares).

It is T3 turn in a SR:

A) T3 sells 10, 20 or 30%:
Here T3 swaps his president share with either 2 10% or 1 20% share of T1.
All is correctly offered in Rails.

B) T3 sells 40 or 50%:
T3 ends up with 10% or no share of WT.
But what is the final portfolio of T1? Will the 20% share
stay in his portfolio? 

This is the only available option in Rails for selling that amount in 
ONE action.

However it is easy for player T3 to strip T1 of his 20% certificate if he uses 
TWO actions in sequence.

First T3 sells 10% and swaps the president share for the 20% certificate and 
then sells the remaining shares in a separate action.

Is that an allowed maneuver in 1835?

Stefan

PS: An update version of test case B is attached.
