Call for Judgment: Orphomatter

Unpopular, 5-1. Josh

Adminned at 11 Mar 2020 10:28:41 UTC

Each commodity has a buy price and a sell price in each of the two Universes; these prices are tracked on the Scientists Prime page of the wiki.

This is a problematic sentence. Even though Prime research materials only exist and are tracked in the Prime Universe, they’re supposed to have prices in EACH Universe. That means the Alpha Universe price is currently an orphan variable, and probably about to get scammed. Since I’m the only one who has ever used this game mechanic until now, and since people keep complaining there’s no game to play here, I propose the following resolution:

  1. Replace “these prices are tracked on the Scientists Prime page of the wiki” in the rule “Research Material [Prime]” with “the prices in the Alpha Universe are tracked on the Scientists Alpha page of the wiki, and the prices in the Prime Universe are tracked on the Scientists Prime page of the wiki. This rule applies to both Universes.”
  2. Reword the second paragraph of the rule “Research Material [Alpha]” as follows: “Orthomatter has a buy price and a sell price in each of the two Universes; the prices in the Alpha Universe are tracked on the Scientists Alpha page of the wiki, and the prices in the Prime Universe are tracked on the Scientists Prime page of the wiki. This rule applies to both Universes.”
  3. Set the buy price and sell price of all research materials in all universes to 1.
