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

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

Hmm, that's an 1835 rule detail that had slipped out of my mind (it's a long time ago that I played 1835), but you are obviously right.  
Rails now drops an SX token to indicate its price as soon as it starts, as in all other games.

1825, another game with fixed start prices, has the same rule.  Are people aware of other such games?

If the 1835 rule applies to all similar games, we need:
a) a provision to mark fixed start prices on the Stock Chart, to be shown only if a company hasn't yet floated,
b) for fixed start price companies, postpone stock chart token laying until floating time.

If exceptions exist, we'll also need a new game parameter to define the correct rule for each such game.

Erik.
