I love these posts. With the exception of a few idiots who either sell ridiculously low or ridiculously high, the ingame rates are set by market demands. It's easy to say that no one should sell for under $200 (or whatever, I don't have countries right now), but if I have oilers that need to run turns and have no cash, I'd rather sell for $190 than have oil sit on market at $200.

If you're getting low balled by 10 bucks a barrel and can't sell, you obviously don't understand or fail to observe some fairly simple economic principles.

Here's your sign.

Fair question. The simplest answer is that countries fighting wars want cheaper oil, so they get their Oiler buddies to flood the market with as much cheaper oil as possible

I never liked running oilers because the damn market is so weird. Unless you have enough countries to keep daily stocks bought up under the prices you want to charge, it's not that great a strategy and honestly, the market is only gonna support oil to a certain price.

It's tempting to start selling oil "high" when a war breaks out, but a Casher or Techer for example has to buy food, oil, AND weapons. To me, that's why I'd run me some teched up rainbows to fight a war with.
