[1837] Can par a company multiple times

Open mamitsch opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

i parred TI (not TR , edited) by one action in an SR - with the next action i needed to par it again.

Now it is parred two times and i still can par it again.

The par value also changes accordingly to the last par

Playername: Skollvaldr

We stopped the game - you can use the link to check the current state. The company can still be pared.

Shall I copy the game to hotdesk and upload the JSON?

Maybe the wrong game is linked above then, because all companies are parred. https://18xx.games/game/199805

No - you can par it again. That is the issue - you can / must still par TR. you can undo till before TR was pared - it is still the same SR

@mamitsch Can you explain how we can reproduce this?

Going back to the start of SR8 (after action 895), TR is not parred. Two shares are owned by players, as ZKB and SPB closed at the start of phase 5, but the president's certificate is still in the IPO.

TR is parred at action 896. That's the only time TR is parred according to the game log.

Hi, sorry, i misdescribed something in the initial description. it is not TR which has the two times par issues, but TI.

[09:54] -- Phase 5 (Operating Rounds: 3 | Train Limit: major: 2, national: 3 | Available Tiles: Yellow, Green, Brown) -- [09:54] -- Event: 3 trains rust ( SD x2, BK x1, KK x1, MS x1) -- [09:54] -- Event: All remaining coal companies are exchanged --

[09:54] Skollvaldr receives 1 share of TI [09:54] TI receives 170K [09:54] TI receives 2G train

[09:54] Skollvaldr receives 1 share of TI [09:54] Skollvaldr becomes the president of TI [09:54] TI receives 599K

i had received two shares of TI within the OR and became president.

Then the par button was still active - i selected it @85

[10:05] Skollvaldr buys a 10% share of TI from the IPO for 85K

afterwards the button was still active and i pared from IPO for 70:

[11:36] Skollvaldr buys a 10% share of TI from the IPO for 70K

now TI has two par values and for me again the par button is there.

Sorry again for the confusion.

Any news on this?

I see this now.

When phase 5 starts (action 855) the remaining mine companies close. Both LRB and EHS were owned by the same player (Skollvaldr), who receives a share of TI for each. TI hadn't been parred before this, so its president's certificate is still in the IPO. It looks like Skollvaldr's two 10% shares are being swapped for the president's certificate.

But TI still hasn't been parred, this is done at action 911. Here Skollvaldr pars TI at 85K, but only buys a 10% share. After this the game still thinks that TI isn't parred, so this can be done again at action 919.

I believe the error is swapping the 10% reserved shares for the 20% president's share. The presidency should have stayed in the IPO until someone buys it in the stock round.
