Theseus,

It's amazing this thread has gone on so long...about nothing. Well, not entirely nothing...there have been a few oasis of information floating around ...somewhere.

We do a lot of EVM/EVA also...

Well, first off, I agree, this is a most bizarre thread.

But from insanity comes... blue sky thinking.

EVA as applied to Civ3? A whole new game economics paradigm... MEASURE IT!! A Granary... net Value Added over what time-frame?

Where's alexman?!

Toss in a little TQM and make everyone submit Gantt charts before starting a game! Then you create your IDEF diagram (only five levels) to justify your science plan.

Instead of advisors, try the executive board and stockholder review panel.

Absolutely no one would buy the game...but it would make such a lovely business training tool.....wait, I must go develop my next "get rich quick" scheme....I might be able to market this.

And the dreaded... Six Sigma.

Although, actually, players such as alexman, Dominae, and nbarclay would be blackbelts in NO time! (truly, btw)

[sorry for the digression, folks, but us business guys gotta insert our humor too]

And, seriously, SG, we might want to consider applying such tools to the game... TQM totally applies to economic / terrain decisions (see cracker's orginal treatise at CFC), and EVA equally applies to build decisions. In other words, business guys go head to head with the stats / quants!

When the pancis of 1929 start company started massive layoff of worker which make the panci worst as there was no unemployment benfit back then. When FDR became president

First the unemployment rate in 1932 was 25 % than very hight number, if any President was to have just than hight rate again he or she will lose any election. Corporation cannot lay off worker forever as you need than certain amount of worker to stay in bussien, plus unemploy worker willnot buy your good you make. Than old simple rule people with no money or work will not be able to buy thing. This also apply to people with limit income too.

This has been discussed before in the MOO3 forum. CBH is real. His grammar is due to being disabled.
