So yeah, I made sure to make the first Oil Standing Orders of the set, and sold Cheap Oil that no one else but myself should had bought... I got the message that a Standing Order had bought my Oil, but it was none of mine.

Oil was sold at 35, with is way above the Auto Buy system... so why isn't the oil in any of my countries?

SO's are not explicitly FIFO....

they get randomized to a degree so that one person can't suck up all the goods while everyone else gets nothing.

sorry! ;p

hmmmm

Ok thanks :)

at least it wasn't a huge amount :)

way to take one for science, chaoswind :D

That is what I get for trying to do cheap shots with goods transfers :)

Well there are other ways to achieve this :P

make enuf sos and you get your chances.

I believe that SOs older than X days are randomized. qz never explained to me how it worked exactly.

or prolly all SOs are randomized.

No, you're wrong.

people before have said after 72 hours you go to the back of the queue, and i think ffa has been going longer than 3 days already

not sure if theres an actual random element as well as that but i have seen some interesting market behaviour in relation to goods hitting and standing orders operating

SO's older than 72-96 hours (random) get put to the back of the queue

someone add that to the WIKI!!!

Thanks qzjul for the accurate answer:)

also thanks to Pang and Slagpit for answering this question to the best of their knowledge :)
