Acquiring PPT?

How do I trade for PPT without paying real money?

Is it encompassed in the "1/2 of Market Supporter Status/Bonus" option in the exchange for drop-down?

Is a multiple of 2 necessary for to attain the 48 hour period, or can a single multiple be bought for 24 hour PPT?


So many questions!


Meh.

heh's.... yes, it's encompassed, yes 2 multiples gets you the 48 hour ppt.


I *think* one multiple gets you 24 hours, but I've never tested it, so I don't know for a fact.

one multiple doesn\t get you anything. you can try it out but it will tell you you need to use 2 multiples

Indeed. 2 and only 2 will work. You can't get more, can't get less.

with the PPT comes also a bigger vault for those 2 days. can anyone tell me how big the vault becomes??? and if i have a huge amount in vault and the 2 days of PPT expires do i lose the surplus of naq in vault??? let's say my vault can hold 1k naq and after 2 days of PPT i have 2k naq, do i lose the surplus??


PM pls

If you have 'overbanked' then a certain amount of the excess naq will 'leak' out of the bank in to the open every turn.

You mean when you first get MSS?

If you buy a normal PPT you dont get a bank bonus.

If you use money to buy a $10 PPT, then no you don't get the bank bonus.
But trading 2x 1/2 SS should still give both the PPT and Bank increase.
(been a long time since i've done that though.)

NOTE: The Market Supporter Status gives full trade market functionality, 10% increase to original bank size (for you, as of last turn, this is an increase of 9,075,602,999 REMEMBER - the bank size increases/decreases with your income), and full PPT. It does not include player to player transfers, bonus goods, or other 'full supporter' bonuses.
