The last thing I do is change the "Last update processed" cell, so if that matches the latest turn number you're good to go.

You don’t have to pass on this I don’t think. I’m just throwing it out there when it’s not my turn. I figured with the more valuable gbp / cad I might get a buyer.

No worries, life is important :). I accept basically any reasonable reason for being late, poo poo happens.

Just to make sure, you are aware you could invest in a second currency as well, right? My idea (as someone who has literally never played the game or watched it played) is that you should totally do that because it's a more efficient use of your action. But I don't know what plans you have in your head.

I have no idea what I'm doing either! I'm doing what I do in most games I've never played before: I'm pushing buttons and seeing what happens.

So sure, I'll take a JPY cert too

Done. And look your investment paid off right away:

Turn 9
Spot trade my 1.5 CAD for Mr. Squishy’s 1 GBP
Invest in CAD
Invest in JPY.


I’m going to keep the offer out there - I’m buying GBP if anyone is selling. If I can avoid having to count on dividend timing to avoid bankruptcy that would be great.

Not sure what you mean with "timing", but for now you basically already have enough to pay back the loan.Your dividends are guaranteed to be resolved before the loan and will pay out 4 GBP. With the 1 GBP you have that's enough.

I think the dividend only pays out 2 GBP, no? 4 CAD and 2 JPY as well.

Timing means if I divest after the dividend but before the loan resolves. That would get out of it as well.

Was gonna say done but I don’t think I can - will wait for the currencies to update but I think GBp is worth 2.5 CHF right now.

I think I can just do JPY or CAD.

I'll pass on that trade. I've got no GBP to trade so it might be assumed, but in case it wasn't.
