Re: The Fine Line Between Reality and Fiction

I'm very hesitant about the idea of running an iterative, time-based market simulation because it requires intensive, consistent involvement from everybody involved for the duration that it is run. That is, commitment. And as far as I know about the Automation forum, this forum is largely populated with people who are here because they have a love of cars, not because they have no life. And life tends to interrupt at the worst times.

Real conversation I overheard from a number of years ago at work:

Doctor 1: Wow dude, you look like shit.
Doctor 2: Yeah, long night.
Doctor 1: Were you on call? Studying?
Doctor 2: Nah, my WoW guild scheduled a boss dungeon raid for 3am. You can't not turn up to that.
Doctor 1: ...

You wouldn't want your hospital doctors to be like that now, would you :lol:

Honestly, I don't think this is in any way realistic. It would require a lot of dedication from everyone involved, given that you wanted to be successful. It's purely theoretical, and on that basis it's fun to theorize.

Well....Doctor 2 is correct. You can't not show up for the raid event. I'm willing to bed at least a few doctors are doing this already. I can guarantee I do this regularly. ;)

Re: The Fine Line Between Reality and Fiction

Oh, I know you can't just not show up when you're a part of the guild. That's just not kosher. So most doctors eventually resign... From MMOs that is. I know I did! (Though I never played WoW, just other things).
