Most of the time, I earn more gold transferring with a merchants to my nodes than when I'm collecting.   In which situation you can get more gold from collecting VS transferring it ?

I read a lot about trading in the ingame hints, but still cannot figure this out.  When I send a merchant to a trade node, I have the option to collect money from the node or to steer the trade "uphill" to another trade node.  What advantages do I get by trade steering? If I send someone to this trade node, is it not equally good to collect the money there right away?  Does it always make sense to steer trade between two nodes I have merchants in?

If I understand cash back programs correctly, the Credit Card companies give you back a percentage of the money you spent on a purchase. 1% would give you back $1 on a $100 purchase.  If this is the case why can't two people (or more) just buy and sell to each other the same product back and forth to earn cash back?

I'm using the auto-mining script from one of the meta posts here and it doesn't works!  At first I got steady returns but the returns seem to diminish over time. Using Fiddler I confirmed that the server seems to release less and less coins.  This is unacceptable! I am a loyal customer paying nothing and I demand that my auto-mining script continues to yield returns forever!  If you cannot deliver on that please refund what I have payed for using this site.  Plz advise!    In case you didn't notice: This is a parody of over-demanding, leeching askers on Stack Overflow.

While I've done quite a bit of travel now and back myself to handle situations when it comes to border guards, sorting accommodation and / or transportation, one thing I still struggle to come to terms with is haggling in the markets, be it for food, clothing or other.    Image © Peter Morgan, 2014   What is the best way to go about this? I'm generally either worried I'll offend them, or that they're trying to rip me off anyway, so it's a weird combination of awkwardness inside my head ;)

Now that experience does something besides render regions of a server uninhabitable due to  orb lag, what's the most efficient and safe way to get those excellent enchants?  A mob farmer may rank highly, but what about without tons of setup?

How would I go about transferring iTunes credit between accounts?   The question pretty well speaks for itself. I have two accounts, one for my iPod, one for my iPhone, I have passwords to both accounts, I can handle talking to Apple Support if that's what needs be, but I was curious if I can transfer the funds without going through customer service. Should I just "gift" myself purchases?

This was a question I originally intended to ask before .  According to , paying for a bounty will actually reduce your reputation cap. I searched more recent posts, but the majority of posts that deal with both reputation caps and bounty are about the reputation you earn from the bounty, not that lost from payment. Is this accurate to what actually occurs?  My main concerns draw from the following pool of questions.   Does paying a bounty actually reduce the reputation cap still? After paying a bounty, am I considered to "reach" the reputation cap after getting 200 reputation worth of upvotes, or getting a net daily gain of +200 reputation from upvotes? After paying a bounty, am I considered to "exceed" the reputation cap after getting over 200 reputation from non-bounty sources, or getting a net daily gain of over +200 reputation from non-bounty sources? Can tactical bounty assignment be used to aid in avoiding the criteria for certain cap-related badges?   There were a few other questions I figured, but they could all be derived from the answers to the above questions.

This is to settle a current dispute with our game. Here's the scenario: Someone rolled the dice and landed on Community Chest, passing GO in the process. They picked up the card and it read 'Pay 10 pound or Take a Chance'. They took a Chance, and the Chance card said 'Go back 3 spaces.' They landed on Mayfair, passing back over the GO square to get there. They argued that they should still receive 200 pound because they already passed GO, and you receive the money when passing it NOT at the end of your turn.  I believe that this is correct and you should get the money as you pass GO rather than at the end of your turn (therefore removing the money you got by passing if you went backwards and landed on a square before GO). I've looked in the rules and I think you get the money as you pass, rather than after the consequences of your turn.  What's the official stance on this?

What's the most efficient way to farm Pokemon Dollars/money in Pokemon X &amp; Y? I'd love to be able to have a decently sized wallet so I can show it off to others, but mainly to buy tons of Max Repels when venturing through the wild.  I remember how hard it would be in previous Generations.  For example, in Gen V, I remember repeatedly grinding the Elite Four just to make some serious profit, but it took hours of grinding to reach a decently sized wallet.  What's the most efficient way to do so?

How do they compute the Gold and Elixir that can be looted from a base? Is it 100% of the remaining? or the total (including the uncollected from mine)?

Our group has determined that buying (almost exclusively) money and points is the way to go.  Most kingdom cards are ignored, or are bought very sparingly. This has lead to games feeling 'samey' and has taken a lot of the fun out for us.  What strategies should we use to counter ""?  Or are house rules needed here?

Recently I've been coming across many on-line resources that propose people to pay them in order to to get seemingly gigantic profits. This is what the 'About us' page of such sites normally says:  Extremely-Successfull-Corporation is a new dynamically developing investment project which helps you earn (loads of!) money quickly and easily! Our team manages the funds that you provide us with and invests them in stocks, real estate and lots of other stuff. We are 185.67% professional traders and guarantee that each your investment will result in 125% profit for you! The only thing you have to do is deposit money and wait for the revenue for 24 hours. Join us today and start earning money right away!  They also provide a lot of links to various social networks where people praise that investment company and even post photos of (quite a lot of) money they say they've earned only thanks to it. How this works Basically, they say that you kinda lend them money, they use it in investment and then return that amount multiplied by 1.2. I got curious about this thing and decided to try it out, although I was (and I am) pretty sure that this is  scam. So, I've chosen a random site out of tens of similar sites that provided such 'service'. This is what I had to do to invest into... what?  Creating an account is easy: you supply an e-mail and create a username and a password. It looks like the e-mail is never used after that. I had to create a Qiwi wallet and deposit some money to it as it was the only way to deposit money to the account. After that the site told me to provide it with the number of my wallet and transfer the amount of money I'd like to put onto my account to another Qiwi wallet and supply my username as a comment to the payment. After that I had to put the transaction code into a field on the site to verify the payment. The payment was completed successfully, and I pressed the Deposit button to deposit 100Something. The site immediately accepted it and started the 24 hour countdown constantly showing that after that 120Something will be on my balance. Right now I must wait for 24 hours to see my money lost the revenue.  My concerns The problem is, I don't understand, how such sites work. Is that scam or not? Some of my friends told me that they've actually received the revenue after they deposited a bit of money to similar sites, and I don't have any evidence not to trust them. If such sites really 'work', then how and why? Why would anyone trust them so much to give them money for absolutely no reason? Okay, I'm not so clever, but they can't make profit only because of stupid people, can they? Why there seem to be so many people in different social networks who claim the site has helped them to earn money? If this was scam, the creators of the site would have to pay them so these people wrote their advertisements posts, to my mind: nobody would like to advertise someone's business for free, right? Then, how do the site's owners make profit? Anyway, who will give you 120$ after you gave them only 100$? The question Could someone please explain: are such sites scam or they could be not scam? Update Surprisingly enough, I was able to receive 1.2 times my deposit and transfer it to my Qiwi wallet. What I learned from the answers, Wikipedia and Google is that such schemes allow the 'clients' (actually, victims) to win probably several times and then suddenly disappear with all the investments. So now I'm planning to run away from that site as fast as I can, but another question has arisen: is there any way to determine that today or tomorrow the scammers will disappear with the money? Can there be any signs (except inability to withdraw the money, of course)?

Why doesn't the huge difference between the muggle and wizard gold exchange rates lead to the collapse of the wizard economy?  We know, that 17 silver Sickles is worth a golden Galleon. However, in the muggle world, you can get more than 50 kg silver for one kg of gold.   Even if Sickles were the same size as Galleons (if I remember correctly, they are much smaller), and the gold content of Galleons was the same or even less than typical muggle gold coins, it would still be highly profitable, to buy silver in the muggle market, exchange it for gold in the wizard market, and sell the gold in the muggle market.  How is it that no one does it? It could ruin the wizarding economy in a very short time, or at least draining most the gold out of it and altering the exchange rates between Galleon and Sickle?  We all know that magic can't create money or precious metals...

A band of 9 pirates have just finished their latest conquest - looting, killing and sinking a ship. The loot amounts to 1000 gold coins.  Arriving on a deserted island, they now have to split up the loot. You, as the captain of the band, have to propose a distribution plan (who gets what). What's your proposal?  Consider that this bunch is a democratic lot. If your proposal is accepted by half of the group, then everybody adheres to it. However, if folks feel you are getting greedy, and less than half of the band agrees to your proposal, then they kill you, and then your First Mate gets to make a proposal. And so it goes in decreasing order of hierarchy/seniority.

This girl that I'm friends with and have actually seen in person before, keeps posting [on social media] that she "loves when the transfer goes through" and gets $2000-$6000 for free quite often. She said you can make up to $6500 a day. She is not very smart and barely spells correctly. She keeps saying that all she is doing is "transfers" and that's it. So many of my friends are feeding into this crap. So I asked her what it is. She basically said "it's legit" and asked me for my bank username and password so she could see how much money to deposit into my account. I said no way and left it at that. She also said she is not stealing or doing anything illegal. She is getting her friends free money and I think they're naive. What is she actually doing? Is it illegal? I am sure she is incapable of doing crazy money wiring to different countries.   Thank you everyone for answering my question. I am not stupid, I did not give her my information. I knew she was up to something illegal, so thank you for giving me some input on what exactly she is doing. I submitted an anonymous tip to my local sheriff's department. I'm hoping they see it and pursue it, or forward it to the right authorities I.e the FBI or something.

What is the advantage on saving the money for the overlord when you have 9 drones, and not filling your supply first and then getting the overlord?  In my theory, in the first case you get to wait the saving time with 9 drones, and get to wait almost the same time with 10 drones in the second case. Second case should be better, since 10 drones mine faster than 9? So why does everybody go with the first case?  All this is assuming you go 12 pool or something like that, where you will get more drones after the overlord. 6- and 8-pools are obviously different.
