Talk:Betting on the Stars

Has anyone checked to see if chip farming items boost the counts for this?

There's a leaderboard for this now. Cristiona 04:31, 17 January 2008 (MST)

The results I got last night suggests that it's a fixed ten chip range. I can provide the numbers if anyone wants to see them. I'm working on electronic computers right now with a multi. soleta 09:10, 17 January 2008 (MST)

Is there any benefit to this software over Destitute Dick's Penny-Pincher Program aside from the fact they can be run simultaniously? Hand-E-Food 15:54, 17 January 2008 (MST)

My guess is with the wider range of chips possible that the drop % is better than the 10% for Dick's - more work is needed to figure it out. Malk-a-mite

someone who is in the bay should write down the # of chips they have to see if you get the chips or not. --Reaper 19:26, 17 January 2008 (MST)

Just testing, i had 19233 chips, adventured, got "20 chips from stock" and 113 as normal. chips now: 19346, i.e. 19233+113 - so I didn't get the chips from the Astral Software --LeaChim 02:24, 18 January 2008 (MST)

It appears to be a virtual thing, like Thotmarket was before it went closed beta again. In other words, you don't actually get any chips. Much like how Destitute Dick's doesn't put US currency in my pocket. Cristiona 06:38, 18 January 2008 (MST)

You might be able to cash in the ASX currency eventually... I'm sure Ryme has some type of future plan for it, we just have to wait for it. Byto 18-1-08

Monthly Drawing?

Well, wasn't I surprised when I logged in to find that I had four new messages, two from the ASX and two from the S.U.I.T. farmers (See T.a.I.L.o.R. discussion. It appears that there is a monthy drawing of prizes. Here's the messages:

Congratulations! You've just won a prize from the ASX monthly drawing. Your high standing automatically entered you into a contest, and you've won fourth prize: a snazzy pair of binoculars. Thanks for playing, and remember, keep watching the skis! Included item: binoculars (quantity 1)

Congratulations, you've done quite well on the Astral Stock Exchange. At this chips level, you automatically earn a free gift! Thanks for setting such a good example on the ASX boards. Included item: sunglasses (quantity 1)

Anybody else?--Chugsworth 21:26, 9 March 2008 (MST)

I got the same. Same place, same items. --HariSeldon 21:40, 9 March 2008 (MST)

I got exactly the same thing with 7k+ points. soleta 22:05, 9 March 2008 (MST)

I got the sunglasses message and I have just over 4k+ points--Vince3 04:09, 12 March 2008 (MST)
