Congratulations to all the new mall owners, and the big winner in all of this, MindArk!
I wish everyone a very successful and prosperous new year! I especially admire Eps’ vision for the future of Entropia Universe, and also Neomaven’s lightening fast initiative to utilise that spare $35k USD (at least!) that must have been lying in his EU account to spend on an impulse like that! Gratz!  |

Thanks for the possible reasons Fran,but... reason 1 - "He made a mistake and was too shameful to admit it  ... " - Does not Computereason 2 - "Or he had the strong intuition that he is going to make big money with that mall and wanted to impress any auction competitor..." - Does not Compute reason 3 - "Or MindArk needed him to make the numbers get higher and asked him to bid high ,for the press buzz".- Hmmm, but wasn't it a Public Auction? reason 4 - "Or he doesnot give a **** about money,he is a pimp and he wants to show us his money like that , he got the green and he got the powa " - Does not Compute |

It also now appears that my earlier suspicions regarding "Anshe Chung Studios Ltd" taking an interest in Entropia Universe were correct...
Anshe Chung in Entropia Universe??? Unless, of course, we have an impostor in EU throwing large amounts of cash around!!  Just to clarify here, there is no individual person called "Anshe Chung", 'ANSHECHUNG Studios, Ltd' is run by husband and wife team, Ailin and Guntram Graef, and currently employs around 20 people. |

Something smells like trout ! But so what ? If anything is done with a wink here or a nod there its purpose is to keep EU healthy and strong so everyone can continue to login each day .
So grats on owning the Malls persons. If i owned a Mall i would hope to hell i would be able to name it myself though  |

-"Does not compute" - is a phrase I must have picked up from some pop sci-fi nonsense. I was alluding to the fact that from the information available the bidding on the mall does not make logical sense. e.g. You bid, I bid more, You bid even more, I stop cos I don't believe the purchase is a worthwhile investment.
From this perspective there is a discontinuity in the bidding on PA, cause n' effect says there must be a reason. You offered reasons: only 1 of which makes logical sense to me...the others in this context are not logical. Reason 1: The money was available to bid through a series of transactions which took deliberate enactment. Reason 2: More money would be potentially gained paying the lowest possible asking price. Reason 3: Motive is apparent...but appears to violate public auction rules i.e Pre-arranged behind closed doors. Reason 4: Too vulgar in this context. Occams Razor says Reason 3 - I would like to discuss this if not offered an alternative logical reason. Etopias defensive stance is obvious cos this reeks. |
