#eulora Logs for 28 Jan 2016



January 28th, 2016 by Diana Coman
mircea_popescu: mmm i could sell you some bps but for cash [00:17]
Birdman: only one i need to buy are neckerbockers [00:28]
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, omw to town if you're still around [00:32]
mircea_popescu: ya hit me danielpbarron [00:33]
mircea_popescu: cheerios. [00:34]
danielpbarron: thanks [00:34]
Birdman: anyone have dead molluscs for sale [01:34]
diana_coman: Birdman, too late on the neckerbocker bps; it was 12 hours; still, I have another 500 set but of 7q [02:23]
diana_coman: clogs are available though, no problem [02:23]
Birdman: i'd gladly buy them [02:23]
Birdman: and those too [02:23]
diana_coman: do you need high q or low q molluscs? [02:25]
diana_coman: I have both, but I have to figure out a price [02:25]
Birdman: i may skip seeing as they're in short supply [02:26]
Birdman: was just thinking ill buy some if its the normal 25\% over [02:26]
diana_coman: well, they are and they are difficult to get (I missed even with a cs and my high gathering ) [02:26]
diana_coman: ahahaha, lol [02:27]
diana_coman: then no [02:27]
diana_coman: Birdman, I have 8 clogs; how many do you want? [02:28]
Birdman: how much per again? [02:28]
Birdman: also im pretty certain i'd just get a bunch of ords with cs if i had access to it [02:29]
diana_coman: diana_coman Birdman, I still have 5 clogs for sale, q 26479, 39k each [02:29]
Birdman: missing once with a cs then hitting 20 in a row is still pretty good imo lol [02:29]
diana_coman: from the logs, lol [02:29]
diana_coman: meanwhile found 3 more [02:29]
Birdman: then ill take all 8 [02:29]
diana_coman: Birdman, add to that a small on cs + 1 mollusc only from it [02:29]
diana_coman: which instantly makes a mollusc worth...40k at least? not that I count it that way, but still [02:30]
Birdman: right, my gathering is apparently more valuable with cs [02:30]
Birdman: probably something to do with over craft [02:30]
Birdman: dpb only finds like q110 enums you know [02:30]
Birdman: oddly low [02:30]
diana_coman: ok (and no, don't think so overall as it is very stable at exactly the base value of the input) [02:30]
diana_coman: because of low building I suspect [02:30]
Birdman: what makes you think that? [02:31]
diana_coman: my enums have always been higher q than his [02:31]
diana_coman: I get them 135 now for instance [02:31]
Birdman: thats is definitely a crazy piece of information [02:31]
diana_coman: so, you in town? [02:31]
diana_coman: for clogs and neckerbocker [02:32]
Birdman: maybe it only effects hit rates? idk very weird [02:32]
diana_coman: oh, you wanted some aw [02:32]
diana_coman: ae [02:32]
Birdman: what'd you want for neckerbockers [02:32]
Birdman: and yeah but not much maybe 100 of them at a fair price [02:32]
diana_coman: I think it also affects the odds on what you get out of claims [02:32]
diana_coman: ahahahah [02:32]
diana_coman: I don't have 100 ae [02:32]
Birdman: is that alot? lol [02:32]
diana_coman: for mining as per shop 135\% [02:32]
diana_coman: http://www.dianacoman.com/eulora/foxystore/ [02:33]
Birdman: i get the same results from his claims to mine, i would assume building has everything to do with that [02:33]
Birdman: i dont see that showing you selling ae? [02:33]
diana_coman: Basic items and most Grocery items go for 125\% of base value adjusted for quality, while mining and lumberjack items go mostly for 135\%. The rarer items (such as Dead Molluscs, Shed Snakeskins) go for considerably more due to the costs involved in actually mining them. [02:34]
diana_coman: I did not really list the mining as I don't focus on that [02:34]
diana_coman: hence also why I don't really have much [02:35]
Birdman: ill buy however much you'd sell of the ae then [02:35]
diana_coman: 30 ae, 117q [02:35]
Birdman: price on neckers? [02:36]
diana_coman: the neckerbocker bps mhm, I'll let them go for 30k the lot of 500 [02:36]
Birdman: whats the bv on those [02:37]
diana_coman: ugh Birdman will you read the logs ? [02:38]
diana_coman: 59 [02:38]
Birdman: i checked eulorum, not gonna dig through logs to find it though [02:38]
diana_coman: well, if not gonna dig, then you don't need it [02:38]
Birdman: ill take em [02:39]
diana_coman: ok, you in town? if not, I'll be around in 1.5 hours again [02:39]
Birdman: ill come now [02:39]
diana_coman: uhm, gotta take the ae out as heavy [02:42]
Birdman: no prob [02:42]
Birdman: accept? [02:44]
Birdman: heh [02:44]
Birdman: thanks! [02:44]
diana_coman: enjoy [02:44]
danielpbarron: getting linux would solve so many of your problems, Birdman [02:45]
danielpbarron: automating activings, grep'ing logs [02:45]
danielpbarron: activities even [02:45]
Birdman: just gonna pirate a decent macro [02:45]
danielpbarron: grep alone is reason enough to flee windows and never look back [02:46]
danielpbarron: this was in the b-a logs recently [02:46]
Birdman: there are just more pressing matters to deal with right now [02:52]
Birdman: are you in town danielpbarron [02:59]
Birdman: hey mircea_popescu i have some bps i need to sell, ran out of storage space so let me know if there are any you want [04:58]
Birdman: and i guess that goes for anyone else, too. [04:58]
Birdman: thoughts on eulora: show category capacity? [05:05]
diana_coman: Birdman, it's 200 items in each category [05:05]
diana_coman: not much to show really [05:06]
Birdman: yeah but to show what you already have in it [05:06]
Birdman: obviously [05:06]
Birdman: x/200 [05:06]
mircea_popescu: mkay so post what you have. [07:16]
mircea_popescu: 1 WOS, d 595k, opening 1m ; 25 AW, q 147, 2.6m heard hanbot . delivery in 14h30. [07:17]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman so how much ae you got ? [07:18]
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I'd still have ...14, lol [08:23]
mircea_popescu: lolk [08:23]
diana_coman: ae is mining [08:24]
mircea_popescu: ah right. [08:24]
mircea_popescu: somehow it seems grocery. [08:24]
diana_coman: I know, I kept wondering how come wpl is grocery but ae is not, lol [08:24]
diana_coman: then again, who knows what those eggs really are [08:24]
diana_coman: oh, do you still need 1k wwb to finish the first batch you needed? I lost track of the total [08:25]
diana_coman: anyway: I have 1.2k wwb if you needed them now mircea_popescu [08:26]
mircea_popescu: actually i want 491 specifically. [08:26]
mircea_popescu: after which i'll be buying stacks. [08:26]
diana_coman: sure [08:26]
mircea_popescu: no wait. 199 * 3 - 109 = 488 plox [08:27]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman [08:27]
diana_coman: we can even split berries, lol [08:28]
mircea_popescu: lol [08:28]
diana_coman: thanks [08:28]
mircea_popescu: nono, ty. [08:28]
mircea_popescu: anyway. in the hopes that this batch has at least temporarily assuaged the folk's desperation for wine, ima move on to making FT. [08:30]
mircea_popescu: shinohai http://dpaste.com/27H61GP and plox be more serious. [09:22]
lobbesbot: Title: dpaste: 27H61GP (at dpaste.com) [09:22]
shinohai: ty mircea_popescu will email that to myself fortwith. [09:24]
shinohai: \o/ finally a computer capable of rendering this game. Well worth the BTC. [09:31]
diana_coman: oh, welcome shinohai [09:31]
shinohai: ty [09:34]
jurov: welcome shinohai! have you got basic skills? [09:35]
shinohai: Nope jurov I know nothing about all this xD [09:35]
shinohai: Here 2 learn [09:36]
diana_coman: shinohai, have you read the wiki ? [09:36]
diana_coman: http://www.eulorum.org/Eulora [09:36]
lobbesbot: Title: Eulorum (at www.eulorum.org) [09:36]
shinohai: starts reading, has never gotten past "Installation" before. [09:37]
wyrdmantis: shinohai you might want to include Foxybots in your installation. I mean, you must [10:11]
wyrdmantis: http://www.dianacoman.com/2015/11/16/foxybots-v1-2/ [10:12]
wyrdmantis: err maybe it's this the right one http://www.dianacoman.com/2015/12/14/foxybots-v1-3/ [10:12]
shinohai: thx wyrdmantis [10:14]
mircea_popescu: shinohai meet me in game ima give you a few things [10:45]
shinohai: kk one sec [10:50]
shinohai: Im in mircea_popescu how do I find you? [10:51]
mircea_popescu: haha good q. im up on the hill here with foxy, by the two animated fruitboxes. [10:52]
shinohai: Well I'm definitely on some kind of hill, looking for fruitboxes [10:54]
diana_coman: you'll see everybody else shinohai [10:54]
diana_coman: also, try a /pos [10:54]
diana_coman: to find your position [10:54]
diana_coman: and then head to 174 57 159 [10:54]
shinohai: ok [10:57]
diana_coman: hey, I can see you [11:02]
shinohai: I am at a craft table or something [11:02]
mircea_popescu: cool, now trade me [11:02]
diana_coman: yeah, but that's someone else's craft table, lol [11:02]
mircea_popescu: shinohai gotta right click on me and choose the small pouch button [11:04]
mircea_popescu: 1 WOS, d 595k, opening 1m ; 25 AW, q 147, 2.6m heard hanbot . delivery in 11h00. [11:05]
mircea_popescu: accept button is bottom left [11:06]
mircea_popescu: enjoy :) [11:06]
shinohai: Nice thanks :D [11:06]
danielpbarron: shinohai, what's your character's name? [14:08]
shinohai: danielpbarron: shinoa fores [14:10]
jurov: shinohai: want to buy some coppers for btc? [14:21]
jurov: (or any other stuff, there was even one euro transaction) [14:22]
shinohai: As soon as I can buy more BTC jurov, spent all I had on a computer to play eulora on xD [14:22]
shinohai: But - will need coppers it appears. [14:22]
jurov: oh, to start you need just few bitcents [14:22]
diana_coman: shinohai, you can just earn some coppers [15:00]
jurov: yes? can i too? [15:04]
diana_coman: can't you, jurov ? [15:05]
jurov: i seem to lose on everything [15:05]
jurov: except barehnded mining maybe [15:05]
jurov: and everyone is like "don't do that, then" [15:06]
diana_coman: hmmm, you know what? how do you lose exactly if you craft low q stuff into higher q? [15:06]
jurov: is it available? [15:06]
diana_coman: you might want to read what I am writing on, lol; give me ~10 minutes [15:07]
mircea_popescu: ha, just wehn i was worrying im running out of ft and cursing how i only get 1bp half of the time in spite of massive 70\% oc, [15:10]
mircea_popescu: bam, 700 recipes [15:10]
diana_coman: heh, that's how it happens on ft for some reason [15:11]
shinohai: jurov I prolly got a few bitcents lemme get at you when I import all my old .dats, I'm only using realbitcoin now and my old stuff isn't compatible. [15:14]
danielpbarron: shinohai, i have work you can do that i'll pay for [15:15]
shinohai: Yeah danielpbarron as soon as I figure out how to do things, I gladly accept. [15:16]
danielpbarron: there's a mismatch here [15:17]
danielpbarron: you will learn to do things by working for me [15:17]
shinohai: kk [15:17]
jurov: i have some work too [15:19]
lobbesbot: News from dianacoman: Foxyâ\u0080\u0099s Musings on Click-Slaves vs Apprentices and Their Choices <http://www.dianacoman.com/2016/01/28/foxys-musings-on-click-slaves-vs-apprentices-and-their-choices/> [15:27]
diana_coman: shinohai, you might want to read ^ [15:27]
shinohai: thx diana_coman [15:28]
diana_coman: as always around here, don't take anyone's word for absolute truth, but it might still be useful [15:28]
jurov: the noob competition threat is complete figment of imagination, and i predict it will stay so for loong time [15:35]
diana_coman: why is it a figment of imagination exactly? [15:35]
jurov: why not? [15:36]
jurov: so far *you* ask noobs to work with you, not the other way [15:36]
diana_coman: lol, so contradict what I say there and with some arguments [15:36]
diana_coman: well, I don't [15:36]
jurov: why did you put together the piece then? [15:37]
danielpbarron: yeah noobs are still scarce and my advice is to not rush into ranking up [15:37]
diana_coman: does it sound like I'm asking noobs to work with me there?? [15:37]
diana_coman: or trying to get them to? [15:37]
diana_coman: uhm [15:37]
diana_coman: anyway: you are not actually contradicting so far any of the reasons I give there for that competition [15:37]
jurov: sure, not overtly :D [15:37]
diana_coman: as to scarce: birdman is selling bps because he ran out of space [15:38]
diana_coman: how quickly do you really think mp can actually go through 200 stacks of bps? [15:38]
diana_coman: lol @ not overtly [15:38]
danielpbarron: yes but birdman did that to himself [15:39]
diana_coman: my point is that it's not that difficult to overflow with both bps and resources in the end if one is focusing on this with a bunch of noobs [15:39]
danielpbarron: sure, that's not wrong [15:40]
danielpbarron: when it rains it pours [15:40]
diana_coman: at which point what exactly are the noobs going to be needed for? [15:40]
diana_coman: they are useful to get tons of resources and /or tons of bps [15:40]
danielpbarron: yes but then comes the 2 weeks where no noobs show up [15:40]
jurov: birdman ending up with so many bps he did not have to compete for at all.. confirms your point how? [15:40]
diana_coman: well, so you say "you are safe to remain noob because ...people don't yet show up" [15:40]
diana_coman: sure, today [15:40]
diana_coman: I think I say there "longer term" [15:41]
diana_coman: jurov, see above [15:41]
danielpbarron: in the long term players will die and lose their ranks and then what [15:41]
diana_coman: lol danielpbarron if you say that indeed it is best to be noob (this is what you are saying now) then everybody will be a noob! [15:42]
diana_coman: ahahaha [15:42]
jurov: diana_coman: i couldn't convince the artist who was 100\% getting paid to start using gpg [15:42]
diana_coman: the most competition there can ever be in fact [15:42]
danielpbarron: well everyone isn't a noob [15:42]
danielpbarron: i have exactly 1 useful noob for building [15:42]
jurov: can't imagine noobs would [15:42]
danielpbarron: and he's rarely on [15:42]
diana_coman: well jurov that's already a different thing than you were arguing earlier; we can shift onto that aspect, but that's a different thing [15:42]
danielpbarron: i have these small claims saved up in my inventory that haven't been built in a couple weeks [15:43]
danielpbarron: so where are all the noobs [15:43]
diana_coman: I can't comment on what you have or not, danielpbarron [15:43]
jurov: anyway, i seriously consider ditching grunding [15:43]
jurov: *grundin [15:43]
diana_coman: but what you say is "NOW I don't have noobs, therefore it will be forever a lack of noobs" [15:43]
diana_coman: makes sense? [15:43]
jurov: not that's not what i say [15:44]
danielpbarron: jurov, i'm not saying you should do that [15:44]
diana_coman: no jurov , that's what danielpbarron says [15:44]
danielpbarron: no it isn't [15:44]
danielpbarron: he already invested in training [15:44]
danielpbarron: don't half ass it [15:44]
diana_coman: <danielpbarron> i have exactly 1 useful noob for building [15:44]
danielpbarron: yeah but the solution isn't degrading an elder c'mon [15:44]
diana_coman: your argument for "no noob competition" is that NOW you don't have them [15:44]
danielpbarron: my argument is, don't rush into training [15:45]
danielpbarron: have a plan if you are going to train [15:45]
danielpbarron: like going to college [15:45]
danielpbarron: don't just do it because everyone told you to [15:45]
diana_coman: jurov, have you run the numbers as to what you can pay for input resources to make a profit on making slag or something like that? [15:45]
diana_coman: danielpbarron, of course not, I'm not saying that anywhere, where did you read that? [15:45]
danielpbarron: i'd hapily buy those quality 50 or wahtever craft ingredients, and i think diana_coman's point on ranking up tinkering makes sense [15:46]
diana_coman: if anything, I even specifically say to keep building low for instance to still get loads of resources [15:46]
danielpbarron: keeping in mind that ranking up tinkering will hinder your ability to loot mcguyver and cooking blueprints [15:46]
diana_coman: yes, but not hugely in fact [15:46]
jurov: diana_coman: see my slag run with mircea [15:46]
diana_coman: tbh I am probably the only one with some data on how they affect one another [15:46]
diana_coman: jurov, you overcrafted there, that's not what I am suggesting to you [15:46]
diana_coman: quite on the contrary [15:46]
jurov: oh i did not publish that, i published numbers from imp hoes. [15:47]
diana_coman: (uhm, have you actually read the post?) [15:47]
danielpbarron: did [15:47]
diana_coman: <jurov> oh i did not publish that, i published numbers from imp hoes. <- I don't get it [15:47]
danielpbarron: you should not be making tools, jurov [15:48]
danielpbarron: i'm just barely in the range where it makes sense to do [15:48]
jurov: danielpbarron: no that was mining i did not make them [15:48]
danielpbarron: oh [15:48]
diana_coman: jurov, my post says simply: get low q basic resources and make simple stuff like slag and goop [15:48]
danielpbarron: oh well yeah, that's tricky [15:48]
diana_coman: if you make it higher q, then you actually earn something [15:48]
diana_coman: guaranteed earning in fact [15:49]
diana_coman: no luck involved [15:49]
diana_coman: by definition, lol [15:49]
danielpbarron: yep this is true [15:49]
danielpbarron: is currently making money out of nothing on solid branches [15:49]
jurov: anyway. if i'm going to make slag q 100 , who is going to sll me 5fl+3sr for less? [15:49]
jurov: noone. [15:49]
diana_coman: in your case specifically the only thing is to figure out how to best get the basic resources low q seeing how you have sortage, so either get a noob or figure out what you can pay and buy them [15:50]
danielpbarron: if i had more noobs i could flood the market with low quality stuff [15:50]
diana_coman: uhm jurov really; who the hell pays q100 for q7 flotsam? [15:50]
diana_coman: there as danielpbarron says, lol [15:50]
danielpbarron: i'm actually sitting on stocks of low quality stuff [15:50]
diana_coman: ^^^^ [15:50]
diana_coman: me too for that matter and I plan (and will) get more [15:51]
diana_coman: and yes, I'll sell it [15:51]
danielpbarron: i just don't like to sell out [15:51]
diana_coman: but in any case jurov : you can get claims and have someone build them for you even [15:51]
danielpbarron: i guess jurov should be the one making this ppb and not me [15:51]
danielpbarron: altought that's a weird one, you guys keep saying you won't undercraft mcguyver for some reason [15:52]
diana_coman: the reason there is mainly tool wear danielpbarron [15:53]
danielpbarron: toolkits aren't so scarce are they? [15:53]
danielpbarron: they don't need toves [15:53]
diana_coman: but that's not an issue with the craft-table [15:53]
danielpbarron: i guess i'm biased because of my altar, the truely most limited thing there is [15:53]
danielpbarron: drives me to hapily pay 2x on wine [15:53]
diana_coman: they don't, but they need tools, which are somehow still relatively scarce/a pain to make - and REALLY part of the reason why I am going to flood the bloody market with low q resources if nobody else does it already [15:54]
diana_coman: not to mention that toolkits need...toolkit to make, lol [15:54]
diana_coman: but main thing is tools there [15:54]
danielpbarron: oh really? [15:54]
diana_coman: really to what? [15:55]
jurov: say i want to sell 1 slag for 840 . then i need 5fl+3sr+blueprint for < 840....calculating... [15:55]
danielpbarron: toolkit makes toolkit? wtf [15:55]
diana_coman: yeah [15:55]
danielpbarron: that's incest or something [15:55]
danielpbarron: 1 slag for 840 ?? [15:55]
diana_coman: heh, it's an opportunity of getting totally fucked up if you don't pay attention and wear down your last toolkit, lol [15:55]
danielpbarron: jurov, what's your quality? [15:56]
jurov: output q is 100, read [15:56]
danielpbarron: so you want 24\% about [15:57]
diana_coman: he'd get in point of fact about 22 I think [15:57]
jurov: comes out as I need to source flotsam for <99, sr for <89 [15:57]
danielpbarron: that's no problem [15:57]
jurov: anyone selling low q at such price? [15:57]
danielpbarron: flotsam is 88 base [15:57]
danielpbarron: you'd buy for 98 ? [15:58]
danielpbarron: i am i guess [15:58]
jurov: danielpbarron: at most [15:58]
jurov: so far noone offered [15:58]
danielpbarron: i can make that happen for sure [15:58]
diana_coman: of course jurov ,even mp pays less than base for q7 [15:58]
danielpbarron: now we're talking [15:58]
diana_coman: are you paying 98 q irrespective jurov ?? [15:59]
danielpbarron: that's how i read it [15:59]
jurov: no, because that was a threshold for being profitable at all [15:59]
diana_coman: lol jurov , maybe just figure out first what mp pays and go a bit above that, lol [15:59]
danielpbarron: give me a number [15:59]
diana_coman: (he doesn't pay base value for q7 more like 81\%) [16:00]
diana_coman: but really now, do the calculations [16:00]
danielpbarron: this is actually kind of exciting [16:00]
diana_coman: yeah, I guess that thing needed to be written [16:00]
diana_coman: I kind of thought it was obvious, but I guess not [16:01]
jurov: what was not obvious to me, is that heaps of low-q material is for sale [16:01]
jurov: i thought you gladly and quickly process it yourselves [16:02]
diana_coman: jurov, if you need/want something, you need to shout and attach a price to it, lol [16:02]
diana_coman: ha, there is no physical time to do it AND it's not even exactly what one wants all the time [16:02]
danielpbarron: well i've been burned many times by rushing into selling things so my inclination is to hold things close [16:02]
diana_coman: I kind of know what you mean there danielpbarron [16:03]
diana_coman: I struck a balance (or try to): first make some stocks, then sell [16:03]
jurov: since you menationed 81\%, would you sell sr for 64 and f for 71 coppers? [16:03]
danielpbarron: if i had a time machine blueprints I'd build it to go back and tell myself to not use my altar at all [16:03]
jurov: (any q) [16:03]
diana_coman: I would jurov , I already did anyway, lol [16:03]
jurov: :/ [16:04]
diana_coman: and for that matter I even have a few ks if you want to start straight away [16:04]
jurov: ok, please [16:04]
diana_coman: ok, how much ? [16:04]
danielpbarron: jurov, if you can figure out how to craft rickety reeds i can sell you stacks of that [16:04]
jurov: lolk [16:05]
diana_coman: if one wants to see what something is useful for: http://www.dianacoman.com/Eulora/Rickety-Reeds.html [16:05]
lobbesbot: Title: Rickety Reeds(rr) (at www.dianacoman.com) [16:05]
jurov: diana_coman: whatever you have [16:05]
diana_coman: so congressional pulp I suppose, but you'd need to check if that's something that works well [16:05]
diana_coman: jurov, let's say for a starters to give it a try, 5k flotsam and 3k sr? I'll always be willing to sell more if you want it afterwards, no worries of that kind [16:06]
jurov: yes i accept [16:07]
diana_coman: ok, now give me some 15 minutes to take the bloody flotsam out, lol [16:07]
jurov: 5000*71+3000*64=547000 [16:07]
danielpbarron: in the future players will probaby bring light shiny rock to heavy flotsam markers and craft it in the field [16:08]
danielpbarron: even with the craft table method of transit, it doesn't solve the problem of moving it back out of storage [16:08]
jurov: only if no training needed [16:08]
danielpbarron: why i'm crafting ppb in the water [16:08]
danielpbarron: yeah i'd be shocked if i got even one rank up from this [16:08]
diana_coman: ahahaha danielpbarron that really is a good topic for a post, lol [16:09]
danielpbarron: my sortage dinged but it was on the verge from the shaped slag run i did [16:09]
diana_coman: crafting ppb in water [16:09]
diana_coman: (but yeah, I get what you mean) [16:09]
danielpbarron: i do it right at the exploration marker [16:09]
danielpbarron: where it lets me move 22k stacks in one click [16:09]
danielpbarron: and yes i had multiple stacks in excess of 20k [16:10]
danielpbarron: 9999 is limit only when you try to make the stack; the game doesn't mind dumping greater amounts [16:10]
diana_coman: yes, I noticed that too [16:10]
danielpbarron: oddly enough, the greater than 9999 stacks were the non-loot ones [16:11]
danielpbarron: and by that i mean, the 1 point higher quality one that appears in the marker [16:11]
diana_coman: jurov, ready [16:20]
diana_coman: and yes, 547k total [16:21]
jurov: ok, don't need change [16:21]
jurov: thanks! [16:22]
diana_coman: you got it anyway, lol [16:22]
diana_coman: you're welcome [16:22]
Birdman: being a noob is better right now than being halfway decent [16:24]
Birdman: well, being low level that is, doesnt always make you a noob [16:25]
Birdman: i'd rather have mp's tinkering that level 1 tinkering, but i'd rather have level 1 building than my building [16:25]
diana_coman: Birdman, don't mess up building with tinkering, lol [16:25]
diana_coman: they are not quite the same in terms of what is good to have and what not [16:26]
Birdman: if i didnt need tinkering for bouq id rather level 1 in that as well [16:26]
diana_coman: and for what reason [16:26]
Birdman: anyways, the reason noobing is so awesome is because there is a rich top tinkerer who has literally said he'd buy infinite of things [16:26]
Birdman: its just simple math, you get more the lower q you produce, and that sells for higher than its base value according to the game [16:27]
Birdman: so you literally make more money having lower q [16:27]
diana_coman: that's not the point; you make more money NOW and while MP doesn't get overwhelmed basically [16:27]
Birdman: are you just trying to argue that this wont always be the case? [16:28]
diana_coman: and then you are left with exactly 0 and in a way shittier place [16:28]
diana_coman: but it's your choice really [16:28]
Birdman: because thats pretty obvious heh [16:28]
diana_coman: I wrote my piece, read it, feel free to ignore it, not my trouble [16:28]
Birdman: seems i finally found a functioning macro, so now i have a crafting/training bot [16:29]
Birdman: see ya later, grass stacks! [16:30]
danielpbarron: 2.73 the wine [17:39]
Birdman: mircea_popescu been meaning to ask, do you buy cordages as well [19:43]
Birdman: ? [19:43]
mircea_popescu: http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-01-26.log.html#t23:51:28 << you asked. [19:46]

mircea_popescu: dawg this log. [19:54]
mircea_popescu: more material than b-a [19:54]
Birdman: also see that i have pigments too [19:54]
hanbot: 2.8M for the aw. [19:54]
hanbot: wasn't there going to be a trade/auction bot? [19:55]
hanbot: in here i mean [19:55]
danielpbarron: 2.94 [20:03]
mircea_popescu: 1 WOS, d 595k, opening 1m ; 25 AW, q 147, 2.94m heard danielpbarron . delivery in 2h00. [20:04]
mircea_popescu: \x08<\x08diana_coman\x08>\x08\x0F how quickly do you really think mp can actually go through 200 stacks of bps? << if they're burned for lbn, pretty damned quick. i burned ~200k bps in half a day at one point. [20:05]
danielpbarron: where are the bits? [20:05]
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, pretty fucking incredible nobod ywants screens. i guess ima burn em myself. [20:06]
mircea_popescu: heh they're long gone im sure. [20:06]
danielpbarron: and fine, 1 mn the screens [20:07]
mircea_popescu: considering the table burns 1600 bps in one click, takes like half a minute... [20:07]
mircea_popescu: o.O why thankee kind sir [20:07]
mircea_popescu: 1 WOS, d 595k, 1m heard danielpbarron ; 25 AW, q 147, 2.94m heard danielpbarron . delivery in 2h00. [20:07]
danielpbarron: maybe i can sell clicks to birdman or something [20:07]
hanbot: 3M on the wine. [20:08]
Birdman: yes/no on that price mp? [20:09]
mircea_popescu: Birdman huh ? [20:09]
mircea_popescu: 1 WOS, d 595k, 1m heard danielpbarron ; 25 AW, q 147, 3m heard hanbot . delivery in 2h00. [20:09]

Birdman: sell the bps for .7bv at q100 [20:10]
mircea_popescu: you mean they're q 70 ? [20:11]
danielpbarron: Birdman, you gotta read the logs [20:11]
Birdman: no [20:12]
danielpbarron: are you selling? then he's already offered bv + a percent so i don't know why you're trying to go UNDER [20:12]
Birdman: Oh, then let me check that out [20:12]
danielpbarron: lol [20:12]
danielpbarron: speaking of which and not that i'm gonna make a huge deal about it but i'm not sure if i got that extra \% on my blueprint trade the other day [20:13]
danielpbarron: i need to really really pour over the numbers BEFORE initiating trades [20:14]
mircea_popescu: well you can do it during also, wasn't a calc line in logs ? [20:15]
danielpbarron: you combine factors in a way that i don't so it's hard for me to follow [20:15]
mircea_popescu: <diana_coman> (he doesn't pay base value for q7 more like 81\%) << not like it's a big mystery or anything, formula's well published. 7 + (7+154)/2 = 87.5 [20:16]
mircea_popescu: jurov> i thought you gladly and quickly process it yourselves << processing takes time, i've been whining about how i can't go mining because all this shit to craft, for months now. [20:16]
mircea_popescu: this after paying whatever huge sum for lumberjack exclusive [20:16]
mircea_popescu: but hey, in truth i did first build up major stores of eps etc. [20:17]
mircea_popescu: \x08<\x08jurov\x08>\x08\x0F only if no training needed << you have no idea, i need to make many k's of stuff to move my tinker [20:18]
danielpbarron: yeah seiously when i rank up tinkeing it's a special occassion fit for champagne or something [20:19]
mircea_popescu: <diana_coman> crafting ppb in water << if it weighs the same as a duck, it's made of witch, and therefore a PROMISING BRANCH [20:19]
mircea_popescu: but in better news, im tinkering 799 [20:20]
mircea_popescu: so, ima have to invent a new book./ [20:20]
danielpbarron: Mircea's promissing scribblings [20:20]
mircea_popescu: lol [20:21]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman> they are not quite the same in terms of what is good to have and what not << for the record, i enjoy my high elvel building. [20:22]
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if you dig the line up i'll explain it. [20:23]
danielpbarron: http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-01-27.log.html#t17:53:32 >> 800 * 1.31 * 8824 + (354 * 1.16 + 115 * .97 + 3234 * 1.16) * 882 + (.93 * 476 + 1.27 * 144) * 980 = 13629942.46 [20:25]
lobbesbot: Title: #Eulora log for Wednesday, 2016-01-27 (at logs.minigame.bz) [20:25]
mircea_popescu: so the first part is about the slag, nevermind that. [20:26]
mircea_popescu: you had 354 bps which were q 96 maybe and so i paid 116 on, then 115 which were 77 and 3234 which were also 96 [20:26]
mircea_popescu: and then 476 of a different type (basic tools ?) which were 73 and 107 so you got 93 an 127 respectively [20:27]
mircea_popescu: reasoning back from the numbers. [20:27]
danielpbarron: how do you get from 96 to 116 for example? [20:28]
mircea_popescu: cuz extra 2\% [20:28]
danielpbarron: is that 2\% of 8824 * 1.54 ? [20:30]
Birdman: i big one million and one coppers for the WOS [20:31]
Birdman: bid* [20:31]
mircea_popescu: no, but of 8823 [20:31]
mircea_popescu: 8824* [20:31]
danielpbarron: then that's the difference we had [20:31]
mircea_popescu: ah [20:31]
danielpbarron: i thought you meant ~your~ finished product [20:31]
mircea_popescu: nah i meant bv finished product [20:32]
mircea_popescu: i suppose wasn't all that clear. [20:32]
Birdman: tell me when ready for bps mp [20:32]
danielpbarron: well in that trade it was a difference of 2 or 3 hundred k, so whatever, but good to know going forward if there's to be a more substantial trade [20:33]
mircea_popescu: go for it Birdman [20:35]
mircea_popescu: what q are these things ? [20:36]
Birdman: heh one sec ill write it down [20:36]
mircea_popescu: heh. anyway, i dun want the stuff under 100 bps anyway [20:36]
Birdman: i see [20:36]
mircea_popescu: more of a hassle to reweld them into storage than it's worth [20:36]
mircea_popescu: i mean 100 items, not 100 q. [20:37]
Birdman: yeah, one sec [20:37]
mircea_popescu: stacks of like 4 whatever [20:37]
Birdman: still want the tool bps though? [20:37]
mircea_popescu: aite. [20:38]
Birdman: bms q38, tools q35, ppb q32, io q34 [20:38]
danielpbarron: heh i'll just throw away these 99 altar blueprints (ha ha just kidding) [20:38]
Birdman: and have some worn tools for ya [20:38]
mircea_popescu: lol [20:38]
mircea_popescu: anyone loot altar bps yet ? [20:39]
mircea_popescu: so 157 * .58 * 159 + (130 + 30 +56) * .55 * 980 + 242 * .54 * 544 + 2000 * (14+28+9) =303992.46 [20:40]
Birdman: sounds good to me [20:40]
danielpbarron: imma go out on a limb and offer 1 million for 1 altar blueprint if anyone does have it [20:40]
mircea_popescu: gotta owe you 700 [20:41]
danielpbarron: or consider it a bounty otherwise [20:41]
mircea_popescu: i'd actually pay 50mn for the altar bp. [20:41]
Birdman: i absolve you of your debt mircea_popescu [20:41]
danielpbarron: pfshshh ok [20:41]
Birdman: thank you [20:41]
mircea_popescu: cheers. [20:41]
mircea_popescu: that's one thing you never get undercrafting - altar bps. [20:44]
Birdman: what you get loot while undercrafting? [20:50]
danielpbarron: no [20:52]
danielpbarron: but get this, you can get loot if input == output quality [20:52]
danielpbarron: when i was using quality 74 bits i would sometimes get an extra out of a tiny [20:52]
danielpbarron: (my build quality on non basics is 74) [20:53]
danielpbarron: or was at the time [20:53]
danielpbarron: but now that my bits are under that, i don't get loot anymore [20:53]
danielpbarron: which i prefer [20:53]
danielpbarron: it's annoying to get loot like that [20:53]
danielpbarron: makes the whole stack degrade for just one unit [20:53]
Birdman: interesting [21:00]
Birdman: wonder how it'd work out to only level up by your own means [21:01]
Birdman: have to wait for your own keys to turn to lbn before you can do anything [21:01]
Birdman: and if death is involved it'd be impossible [21:01]
Birdman: what is also strange is i always craft at 39 but eventually it degrades to 38 [21:02]
Birdman: the stack does i mean [21:03]
danielpbarron: yeah the loot does that [21:06]
danielpbarron: loot is always (in my experience) 1 point less than the non-loot [21:06]
danielpbarron: so if you have a 'degraded' pile, it means you got at least 1 extra item [21:06]
mircea_popescu: \x08<\x08danielpbarron\x08>\x08\x0F but get this, you can get loot if input == output quality << happened to me too. [21:15]
mircea_popescu: wouldn't the correct figure be 231×60 × 8 = 110k ? [21:27]
mircea_popescu: it's not like the materials are free. [21:27]
danielpbarron: i thought that sounded like a big number [21:27]
mircea_popescu: i mean yes he produces slag worth almost 900k in 8 hours, by your numbers. but he doesn't get to keep that whole thing, gotta pay supplier. [21:29]
danielpbarron: it's not impossible to make that much in a night's run, but i don't think mid-range crafters are gonna see it [21:37]
mircea_popescu: myeah [21:45]
danielpbarron: oh well i think her math was assuming the crafter could get his hands on low quality at cost somehow [21:48]
mircea_popescu: even so ? [21:49]
danielpbarron: i can pull it off [21:50]
mircea_popescu: let's try the math. so suppose you are a miner who makes flotsam and sr, q 10. now, your option is : either take 677 ecu worth of this material, and sell it for 677 * (.1 + (1.54 - .1)/2) = 555.14 [21:50]
mircea_popescu: or else, turn it into slag q 30, which you can now sell for 677 * (.3 + (1.54 - .3)/2) = 622.84 [21:51]
mircea_popescu: so you've made a profit of 67.7 per slag, it is true (which neatly comes to half your q increase times slag bv, ie 677 * .2 / 2 = 67.7), but it takes you however long to click this. [21:52]
danielpbarron: so you see the profit as the difference between the two options, and not between the raw product and crafted product? [21:52]
mircea_popescu: if we go by her 1440 slag in 8 hours, then it's 97488 ie about 100k profit. [21:52]
danielpbarron: actually that's also how i calulate my profits [21:52]
mircea_popescu: well yes ? [21:52]
mircea_popescu: if you make 20 bux sucking cock and 30 bucks for half-n-half, fucking brought you 10 bux, is what it is. [21:53]
danielpbarron: lol [21:53]
mircea_popescu: now 100k is nothing to sneer at, and especially because you actually get to keep your experience etc, so her argument is in principle sound, seems to me [21:54]
mircea_popescu: just the numbers maybe a little off [21:54]
danielpbarron: it's easier to keep track of profits this way. you have the one profit that is for the mining, and another for the crafting [21:54]
danielpbarron: or else the equation get's stupidly complex [21:55]
mircea_popescu: yup [21:56]
mircea_popescu: of course, the only thing disputable in all of this is that /2 factor [21:57]
mircea_popescu: as more miners mine it is possible low q minerals go for less than that. as more crafters craft it's possible they go for more.\ [21:57]
mircea_popescu: the difficulty in pricing will prolly ensure constant flux there, i guess. [21:58]
mircea_popescu: 1 WOS, d 595k, 1m heard danielpbarron ; 25 AW, q 147, 3.15m heard danielpbarron . << sold. [22:00]
danielpbarron: heh, birdman's 1 copper over bid didn't count? [22:01]
mircea_popescu: nah what bs bids is that. [22:01]
danielpbarron: what's the min? [22:01]
mircea_popescu: i dunno, 5\%, something. [22:02]
danielpbarron: that's what I add but hanbot goes under [22:02]
mircea_popescu: 1 MS, d 132k, opening 175k ; 25 AW, q 147, opening 1.75mn . delivery eta 24h00. [22:02]
danielpbarron: 175k and 1.75mn here [22:02]
mircea_popescu: 1 MS, d 132k, 175k heard danielpbarron ; 25 AW, q 147, 1.75mn heard danielpbarron . delivery eta 24h00. [22:03]
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron ready for the other set ? [22:03]
danielpbarron: yeah i'm coming in a sec [22:03]
mircea_popescu: ima log off for your tool just as soon as this craft's done. [22:06]
danielpbarron: k [22:07]
mircea_popescu: be ~3 mins i think [22:07]
mircea_popescu: ready danielpbarron ? [22:10]
danielpbarron: ya [22:12]
danielpbarron: done [22:13]
danielpbarron: thanks [22:13]
mircea_popescu: my pleasure. [22:13]
Birdman: <mircea_popescu>nah what bs bids is that. << cant blame a guy for trying, was a bid knowing the only other bidder would step down [23:11]
