Proposal: Market

S-K.—Chronos

Adminned at 12 Sep 2005 17:19:43 UTC

Add a Currency Rule:

Each Country, except the Hegemonist, can hold an amount of Hegemonic Dollars (H$), which is tracked by the {{GNDT}} at the HDollars Column. This amount can be negative. A new Country starts with H$ 0 (Zero).

The Hegemonist is the issuer of H$, so e is construed to hold an infinite positive amount of it.


Give H$ 0 (Zero) to all current Countries, except the Hegemonist.


Add a Market sub-rule to Commodities:

Often, the Hegemonist may make a post with the title “Market Position #NNN”, where NNN is a unique sequential number starting at 001.

A “Market Position” Post shall state the Prices at which the Hegemonist is willing to buy Commodities from other Countries and the Prices at which e is willing to sell.


Add a Market Orders sub-rule to Market:

If a Country has no more than one pending Market Orders, that country may issue a Market Order, by Posting it at the top of the Commodities Market Discussion page (at http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Commodities_Market).

A Market Order must have the following format:

(BUY/SELL) Order from ~~~~
NN of (Commodity 1)
NN of (Commodity 2)
…
NN of (Commodity N)

The trailing four tildes (~~~~) are obligatory and will be rendered by the Wiki software as the name of the Country posting the order and the time of that posting.

A Country may not have more than one Buy Order pending, neither more than one Sell Order.


Add a Order Processing sub-rule to Market:

Market Orders can either be Pending, Closed, or Failed. When a Market Order is first post, it is considered Pending.

The Hegemonist will process the Pending Market Orders in the same chronological order they were posted.

The Hegemonist will Close a Buy Order if e has enough Stock of the listed Commodities. E will then transfer an amount of H$ from the Buying Country to emself and the corresponding amount of Commodities from emself to the Buying Country.

The Hegemonist will Close a Sell Order if the Selling Country has enough Stock of the listed Commodities. E will then transfer an amount of H$ from emself to the Selling Country and the corresponding amount of Commodities from the Selling Country to emself;

The amount of H$ to be transferred by the Hegemonist when closing Market Orders will accord to the last Market Position posted before the posting of the order.

The Hegemonist will Fail a Market Order if any condition for Closing is not met. E will fine the Country who posted the Failed Order by an amount of H$ equal to 5% (five percent) of the total amount of H$ that would be have transferred should the Order close;


Add a Forced Sell sub-rule to Market:

At any time, if a Country holds a negative amount of H$, the Hegemonist may force that Country to sell an amount of Commodities enough to bring that value to a non-negative one. The Hegemonist will force sell first the Commodities most valued in the last Market Position post.

against way too whomping complicated for this stage of the game

against I’d prefer an international trading system to a hegemonist-focused one. The market position is a nice idea, though.

against This needs to be proposed one at a time.

A free market is the next stage of this rule.

And the hegemonist focus is based on the presumption I can’t declare victory on my own dynasty

One at a time risks not getting a working system.

Well, it could be broken up into the first rule, the third and second rule, and the last one.

Ok. Good enough
