Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Always thought circumnavigating the buying/selling 'process' was very much on the edge of the ethics of the game.

As per the discussion above, forgetting to sell has consequences. Should this is automated and by-passed it effectively renders the game meaningless IMO.

I didn't make the rules (and Fergus was at least open about doing this) but it does make me wonder why I bothered wasting so many wasted hours ploughing my way through all the 'clicks'.

In the early days when the page refreshed after each purchase or sale it was more beneficial to use a script, but now it is pretty easy to buy and sell.

I think it is a bit against the spirit, but then again it’s only a game :-)

After reading the comments I have now changed my mind from not bothered to the second option.

I'm fine with it.

In my situation now, I just have to buy everyone every morning, and sell everyone ever night. Buying everyone is frustrating because it takes ages, I'd like there to be a "Buy all runners" button in the same vein as the "Sell all runners" button.

If I knew how to automate this, I probably would.

I'd quite like tick boxes to you can select multiple runners to buy in one transaction. With a "tick all" option for those wanting to buy the lot

I'm in the same situation but, to my mind at least, the only reason to continue playing once one can buy all runners is to get the 500,000 or 1,000,000 badge. Yes it's going top take time, effort, and be a bit dull, to say nothing of the frustration when I forget to sell, but therein lies the reward. If I could just automate the process why would I bother? To make the process substantially easier might be great for me personally but it would devalue the effort of those who have (and doubtless will) get there before me. Just my opinion

Is there a half way house where I make a 'Buy All Runners' button available to anyone who has enough budget to buy everyone?

Obviously it should go with the majority view but (though personally it would save me a lot of time & effort) I’d say not, for the reason Weath gives above. If those who have put in way more hours that they won’t ever get back than me think it’s okay then that’s progress or evolution or summat

I'd love a Buy All Runners button for personal convenience, but also think there probably shouldn't be one.

Ticking a box would require the same effort as clicking a buy button

About This Thread

How To Play
As a trader, your job is to pick the runners that you think will increase in value.

You start with 1000 credits, and can use these to purchase shares in runners. If you think their mileage is about to drop, then it's time to sell.

Runner values are calculated based on the total volume of running mileage completed in the last 90 days. Values are recalculated as soon as a runner has logged a run.

Runners get a notification when you buy shares, but not when you sell them.

The value of a runner can go up or down, but don't threaten them. Have fun!
