Stop undercutting oil prices! OILERS UNITE. Let's agree on a price to sell oil at this reset.. it's only to our advantage!

it will never happen, someone will continually undercut to sell fast.

Yea it's too bad some n00b always goes and messes it up.

It's an ogliopoly, not a cartel =P Plus it's not illegal in EE heh..

can you imagine though, a whole set of selling oil at $500... top 10 would be filled w/ facist oilers!

Its not a noob that messes it up, its a noob that thinks that a cartel would work without fixing the supply and demand ratio.

No I understand it, but the thing is demand for oil in this game doesn't change much with price. Yes, some people might build their own oil rigs to supply their own oil, but most people will not.

Be honest, have you ever NOT made an attack just because oil price was a little higher than usual?

So with demand pretty much as a vertical line up to a certain price, suppliers can set a price fix anywhere they want as long as everyone agrees to sell only at that price.

Demand is not a vertical line.

Can you guys be any more elitist and unwelcoming? He said it was constant up to a certain point and he's probably right. High oil prices changing your behavior is not a refutation of his point.

If more people sell it for dirt cheap, you will have less competition. Since this is the beginning of the game, lots of countries haven't decided what gov to chose and seeing high oil prices will only compel them to go oiler. If that happens then oil will be dirt cheap the entire set ... because people are too lazy or too stubborn =P
