Re: [Rails-devel] Bug in 1.7.3 1835, Token of a starting company

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

Volker:
thanks for catching this.

I have to admit that I did not know that rule by heart myself, I would 
have guessed that the (stock market) token is layed as soon as the 
president's share is available.
(So in effect BY and SX price markets are on the stock chart from the 
start of the game).

Rails currently lays the token as soon as the president's share is 
bought (so similar what I believe is correct for most 18xx), which given 
the rules quoted is wrong.

It seems that is not excessively hard to change that, but I want to wait 
for Erik's opinion on this.

I will delay the 1.7.4 release until this is fixed.

Stefan

PS: Volker do you know if Lemmi's moderator handles this correctly?

And another PS: Does anybody now when in general is the stock market 
token placed for other 18xx with par prices? I do not have time to
check that now, but I had guessed that it usually happens at the same 
time that the par price is set (so after the president shares is bought).
