Bid 0 for each of the privates? That's still a valid action right?

You have the share space for the private’s, so that is allowed. Just remember to put them in to a company before the next stock round.

Buy last PGE - I'm autopassign now.

With everyone autopassing unless something weird happens, it's back to Skiz to choose to end the stock round.

As things stand

M14 would export and take a 6 with it, rusting all 3s.
ICR
GT
CNoR
QMOO
GNWR
NTR
would all move up for being sold out.

Run Order would be
M1 (Orvin, Trainless)
M16 (Skiz, Trainless)
M20 (Goose)
GT (Goose)
IC (Orvin)
CNOR (Tom)
QMOO (Dromer, Trainless)
GNWR (Tom)
NTR (Skiz)
GWR (Goose, New Company)
CPR (Dromer, New Company)
GTW (Skiz, New Company)
PGE (Tom, New Company)


Turn order next SR would be
1: Dromer
2: Orvin
3: Skiz
4: Goose
5: Tom

I have provisionally created the spreadsheet for OR 8.1 .

So I think we're calling the game here because Skiz and Dromer are out of it, and Orvin feels like he's out of it. I think 3rd (Orvin) /4th (Dromer) /5th (Skiz) are fairly clear. Me and goose will probably spreadsheet the rest.

CPR's done its track lays, buys 4, drops back to 90.
GTP upgrades north of Duluth, buys a 6, drops to 90
PGE lays north of Vancouver, lays southeast and buys a 6, drops to 90
NTR takes in the national dream private, completes the linkup between the East and West half, upgrades north of Dultuh, destinates in Winnipeg.
Runs 5 Winnipeg->Thunder Bay-> Duluth->Detroit->Windsor ($260)
Runs 4-Pullman Dit->Halifax->Moncton->St. John-> Portland ($220)
Runs 2 Moncton->Boston ($110)
Hols 480, pays out $110
Price up to $100

Pays $330 to skiz to eat M16, absorbing token. Free track lay will upgrade Champlain (M6's home)

Predicted Revenues for next OR:
ICR $50 (splitting once)-> $69 -> $69. $130 share appreciation. $318 value + extra $50 if still sold out.
GT $71 -> $71 -> $71. $150 share appreciation. $363 value + extra $50 if sold out.
GWR $78-> $79->$79. $90 share appreciation. $326 value + extra $20 if all sold out.
GTP $84->$84->$84. $90 share appreciation. $341 value + extra $20 if all sold out.
NTR $92->$92->$92. $100 share appreciation. $376 value + extra $25 value if all sold out.
So yeah, NTR is worth selling an IC for. However, once ICs start getting sold, it gets an extra double jump - so is ironically enough worth holding again!

2. Skiz buys last GWR. Everyone else is passing. Snaps up QMOO, IC, GW and 3x GTP.

Cash: 5915
5x CNOR = 2500
7x GNWR = 2800
2x NTR = 490
5x PGE = 1000

Total is $12705
I have an extra $415 in cash and $400 worth GNWR share in my tax haven, so my total is $13520, as per the spreadsheet

So Totals

I think I won because of three things
1. I was able to use my (Probably slightly overpriced) 5 train to its fullest advantage - by slingshotting my GNWR well into the lead of the second companies. It ended up 6 stock jumps ahead of the other 2nd companies, by the virtue of having 3 extra ORs to run; this is despite it starting at $80 (so two stock jumps behind!).
2. The Es really made their money back in gold for me. I definitely did not have a second safe non-E route so I split a LOT to try to make sure I could get an E in both my GNWR and CNoR.
3. Goose could genuinely have ended the game in OR 8.1 if he had ducked the 6 with GWR - in that case I would have ended up forcebuying the 4 in the PGE in a forlorn attempt to extend the game. Even then, I think the bank would have broken some time during OR2 at that point, and that would have meant that I was a clear 3rd.

I'll write up some fuller observations in a bit but I need to go to a friend's house for TM.
