[Rails-devel] Variations on share price modification after sales

[Scott P. <sc...@re...>]

Is there a way to implement these fairly common rules that about how to
modify share price after sales?

1. Current Market Value falls one space per "block" of shares sold.
2. Current Market Value falls only when the President sells shares (no
effect if other shareholders sell).

While considering this, consider other related issues:

   - whether you can sell in the first SR
   - may sell companies that haven't operated, as normal (1830)
   - may sell companies that haven't operated, but receive the destination
   share price rather than the starting one (as in 1844)
   - may not sell companies that haven't operated (most DH games)

Any rule variation to be implemented in Rails poses the same question: is it worth while to make it configurable in XML, or is it so heavily tied to just one game (or maybe two) that it can as well be hardcoded in a game-specific class? 

See below for the status of the cases raised.

Is hardcoded in StockRound_1835.  Which other games have this feature?

2. Current Market Value falls only when the President sells shares (no effect if other shareholders sell).
Not yet.

While considering this, consider other related issues:
*	whether you can sell in the first SR
		<NoSaleInFirstSR/> (e.g. 1835)
*	may sell companies that haven't operated, as normal (1830)
Default.
*	may sell companies that haven't operated, but receive the destination share price rather than the starting one (as in 1844)
	Not yet.
*	may not sell companies that haven't operated (most DH games) 
		<NoSaleIfNotOperated/> (e.g. 1835)

Please ignore that.  I hit the send button by mistake.  I am still thinking about my suggestion to see if it has any merits.
