Re: [Rails-devel] 1835 Shareprice of Pru at the End of an SR

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

Hi Volker,
thanks for your reply: Yes Rails previously did not increase the 
Prussian share price, however in my view this is not the "standard", but 
simply a bug. However I am interested to know, if you (or anyone else) 
has a different opinion on that matter?

At least for the two rules set I consulted.

English (2nd):
"If at the end of a share dealing round, all purchasable shares in a 
company are owned by players, i.e. all sold and none in the Bank Pool, 
then the share price...".

German (2nd):
"Befinden sich am Ende einer Aktienrunde keine Aktien einer in Betrieb 
befindlichen AG im Bankpool bzw. auf einem der Stapel 'Nichtverkaufte 
Aktien', so wird der Kursmarker ..."


The main difference is merely that the German highlights that the 
company has to be operating, thus Prussian requires an exchanged M2.

I am a little reluctant to support too many (minor) Game Options for a 
game with enough variants and ambiguous rules, but if there is good 
support to convince me then I will be happy to add the option again.

Stefan
