Someone explain how this happened:

Aug 1, 08:00 Aug 1, 12:00 $1 $2799 $2,194.14 88,460

More cheating:

Aug 1, 12:00 Aug 1, 16:00 $1975 $9999 $2,699.84 250,331

Are you really that desperate that you have to coordinate market prices like this to win? How come the mods don't monitor this kind of stuff? $1 tech and $9999 tech, really?

They even sold $9999 tech for residential too. The previous example was business.

Aug 1, 12:00 Aug 1, 16:00 $1975 $9999 $2,679.61 238,108

Why don't the mods investigate who buy/sells these? Discuss.

The timers which display WHEN your goods go on the market should be REMOVED. What stops cheaters from timing when their goods hit market and buying it up on a box? Yes, they could hit refresh 10000x for 25 mins trying to guess when it hits, but I rather they do that then have a 20 second window.

Someone could be selling bus/res at 9999 because the market was empty.

They could be hoping that tech market is so dry that some casher will come in and buy it when it's the only stuff out there.

It does not guarantee their is any cheating going on. Although it is definitely possible.

There's absolutely no situation in which a casher should spend 10k per bus/res tech. Especially on EXPRESS!

The first part of that is untrue. On express, you may be correct though.
The math was done long ago, by a much better player... but I know it was done.

I know I'm a noob; but, since you're 'experienced' would you mind giving me an example in which it would occur?

Side note: It's a good feeling to be a noob and place 12th as a dictator. I wonder where I'll place as an expert?

You have to get 11th before you can shed the title and claim its significance!

And what happens if I get 10th? Does the expert title range from 1st to 11th?

If anyone is cheating they really suck because i consistently place top and i can assure you i don't cheat, am fairly certain blid and ebert don't cheat just from talking to them a lot. They just don't seem the type and they consistently take the first few spots.

Also i have bought a lot of goods at crazy prices not paying attention lol not this set but last set i accidentally bought 17 millions bushels instead of 1.7 mil as well.

Stuff happens and the mods are pretty good but don't jump to conclusions. They are very fair.

and if you listen to everybody and quit playing a crappy dictator trying to net, you will finish top 5. Your government does make that big of a difference. Your a pretty good player for how new you are, but super hard headed lol play a freaking theo techer.

There is dramatically less cheating than when I last played a dozen years ago or more. But the underpriced/overpriced tech suggests there may be some.

Putting up a small parcel of tech at 9,999 does happen honestly. It is more, I think, hoping that someone will have a routine of buying that tech up to some quantity and will keep buying out small parcels w/o noticing the price.

I had understood that at very low prices the game is now programmed to buy in the good which would prevent the most blatant abuse (although making some slips of the finger irrecoverable).

The $9999 tech was mine. I was storing it on the market for a govt change. Someone bought 1 bus and 1 res of it :P

The $1 tech, not sure about. It would get bought by the game, no? Someone sold 10 of it for the lulz maybe?

Express server the game auto buys tech at or below $1000. Someone is trying to get a rise out of an absolute nub, and looks like they have.
