Re: [Rails-devel] Worth-Calculation for 1835

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

This is a more global discussion than just 1835.  The question is whether
to show net worth for a presumed "reasonable expectation of what will
happen and when the game will end" or to show the net worth "if the game
ended right now."  Any game with disappearing privates that have value
during existence will be affected, but other scenarios are also affected.

I recommend if you decide to display the former, you give players an option
to also calculate and view the figures for the latter.
