Re: [Rails-devel] Rails 1.7.7 1856 bug - CGR president's certificate

[Mike B. <com...@ip...>]

Presidency, including that of the CGR, is always a double share. If the
second set of shares is issued, each regular cert is 5% and the president's
cert is 10%, for a total of 18+1=19 certs. If not, each is 10% and the
President's share is 20%, for a total of 8+1=9 certs.

Subject: [Rails-devel] Rails 1.7.7 1856 bug - CGR president's certificate

 

Rails developers,

I believe there is a bug in the 1856 configuration for the CGR president's
share.

It looks like the game is configured so that the President's certificate
counts as a single certificate, even if the CGR issues its second set of
shares.

The rules are admittedly slightly ambiguous on this, but I'm fairly certain
the intent is that each certificate, including the president's certificate,
counts as half a cert.

Do you agree that this is a bug, or are you interpreting the rules
otherwise?

Assuming you agree that this is a bug, I believe fixing this is a simple as
editing line 24 rails/data/1856/CompanyManager.xml, which currently reads:

<Certificate type="President" shares="2" certificateCount="1"/>

However, I do not know if that would fix an existing game or only a new
game.

Thanks,

  Kevin Price
