h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I still haven't quite got the hang of this game.

B

Rules:

1) Always hold the fastest rising player
2) Play all win bonuses with the cheapest player you can get
3) For dividends never buy an expensive share
4) Don't make too many changes to your portfolio. 2 per day is the absolute maximum
5) Keep an eye on the game regularly, say 4 times per day.

If you stick to that you'll do well

Rule 5 is the downer. Some us actually have to work.

B

7am, 5pm, 11pm. You're only missing out on the lunchtime check up, and I can tell you the share that is the fastest mover at 7am is generally still fastest mover at lunchtime, and unlikely to change until the late afternoon if it changes at all.

So no, working for a living is not a hindrance in playing the game.

Although I'm up at 7am, the PC isn't. And I'm usually tucked up in bed by 10:30 these days.

B

I've never been able to understand these people who need lots of sleep

I think it mostly has something to do with not being a fat knacker who sits on his arse playing with hootoo all day.

B

That is beside the point.

I've never been able to spend more than about 35 hours asleep in any given week. And that sleep is never in a structured time slot. It could be 11pm to 10am; it could be 4am to 7am; it could be no sleep at all for 2 nights in a row! At times being different to the majority can be really inconvenient

8-10 hours solid for me. Odo needs slightly less and sometimes doesn't sleep well, it's true, but I'm very regular.

B

35 hours sleep... coincidentally, that's the workweek here in france... zzzzzzz...

huu....uuhhh.... oh yes. i've figured out that for me, he absolute maximum i could sleep in one week (working hours aside) is 98 hours.

in any case, on the (very rare) days when it's possible, i have no problem getting in a good 14 hours.

Yes I made a killing on Strachan - we got the rumour early in Cov, but still never got above about 1500th place.

When I was younger I used to manage on about 4 hours a night, and 16 hours on Sunday. Nowadays I need about 8 hours a night, though I usually only get 6 or 7.

B, Bottletop and I are about to go out of sync this weekend due to a difference of opinion over what returns we would like from our investments - I'm greedier than him you see.

So could you please add a second account for me to the league? The ID number is 85252, and I'll be playing it from Saturday.

The words 'stick' and 'moon' spring to mind.
