Correction to cash balances for three times

There is an issue that has cropped up before concerning cash balances in the game in the offseason, and it seems to have cropped up again.

Under our current rules, we have a cash cap limit of $25 million.  That means that if you end the season with more than $25 in cash, the team owner (who is not you as far as the game is concerned) takes the cash and blows it on vacations, cheap booze and Fabrage eggs. 

You can find out which teams "lost" money by looking at the news log (specifically, look at the entries for Oct 8). 

Mack has pointed out that there were some teams that should have been left with more money than they actually received.

The current cash balances of the teams are as follows:

Antelope Valley - $3,435,186
Atlanta - $17,848,256
Brooklyn - $10,000,000
Moncks Corner - ($530,401)
New York - $5,000,000
Shackamaxon - $12,859,040
All other teams - $25,000,000

Of the teams that don't have the full $25 million, the Antelope Valley, Moncks Corner and Shackamaxon owners didn't take any disbursements. 

The Atlanta owner took $4,462,066
The Brooklyn owner took $45m+
The New York owner took $47m+

The Atlatna owner should not have taken any disbursement at all, as the team did not have $25m in cash.  The Brooklyn and New York owners took too much, as those teams should have been left with $25m.

As a result, I will be adusting the cash balances for these teams.  New York and Brooklyn will be set to $25 million.  Atlanta will be set to $22,310,322 (its current cash balance plus what the owner took).

If anyone has any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them.  Special thanks to Mack for pointing out this bug.

  1. Is this a bug? I just assumed that my owner took the money because he is an 'Economizer.' Not sure if that was the reason or not, but I thought I would point that out. I do like having the $4.5M back :)
