I have been doing some manual calcs and I have noticed that it seems that somtimes combinations of a lower ROI property can "beat" buying a higher ROI property?? should this happen?

It depends how long after you buy the high or low property you check which wins? If you wait long enough the high should always win. You have a numeric example?

I am not sure what I can actually write without getting moderated

the proposed solutions are not optimal

I am disappointed in this forum.

The first few posts from registered users all go into a moderation queue (we have to delete spammers).

Your disappointment notwithstanding, this is the cost of a spam-free forum.

Yes, if they meet the conditions I mentioned in post #9.

As jasonp pointed out, any newcomer is moderated for the first few posts, only for the purpose of screening out spammers. You're welcome to write anything you want, as long as it's not "spam"!

Please feel free to explain why in detail. :-)

Do you see much spam here? :-)

The moderation applied to your posts will end soon, if not immediately.

BTW, if you ever become a mod, you will see spam. It is horrible stuff. Luckily I haven't seen any for a while, but I bet the supermods have.

The measures that the spambots employ to attempt to look like humans are more amusing than horrible...

So, how 'bout those MMO property calculations?

I moderate at http://mymathforum.com/ . We get spam -- though being much smaller, it's thankfully less.
