Information in investment tool when rank slipped

[belaware]

Hi,

it is very difficult to track whether you slipped in the ranks where you did invest in other legendary buildings. Therefore it would be helpful, if the investment tool would indicate that I did slip since investing. As most of the time, in 1.9 or 1.92 support, the expectation is to stay in on the same rank. If there was even a log, if I did slip several times, would also be good. But to have an indication of any slip, would already be a huge help.

hm.. if you slip in rank in a 1.9 thread, the other player should have properly secured the place first... and you should only have invested in a save place

independently thereof such a feature might be interesting for players (with starter cities) that place 1 FP in neighbor GBs in hope for a cheap placement

In an ideal world, that is correct. But often, LBs go into the 1.9 in one rush and are supposed to be filled quickly by the owner, to make them save. I would like to know, whether I slipped due to the negligence of the owner, because he did not fill up quickly. I believe this should be low hanging fruits for FOE Helper and therefore thought to ask.

1.) I agree that investing in not secured spots might be standard procedure in some cases. There are multiple reasons why this makes sense and usually I am OK with paying for not secured spots as long as the owner checks if I have been moved to a lower spot and pays me the difference back.

2.) There are 2 situations where you get moved down a spot: a) You have paid P2 before P1 is paid (for example P1 is faster when posting into the thread, but you are faster actually paying), but you are still making profit (or 0). This is not a problem and I doubt that you want that to be shown as a warning. b) You have been moved to a spot where you make a loss. You can already see that in the investment view because the profit column turns red.

3.) The real issue is if you have been moved down a spot, you are making a loss but the GB has already been leveled and is not visible in investment view any more. But here is where it gets complicated: .) The only place where we can reliably check this is if you scroll through the event log .) The event log shows which spot the player got. We can calculate the rewarded FP (based on GB metadata and your current arc bonus), but it does not show how many FP you paid for it. .) We have the paid FP stored from the time you paid them or last opened investment overview, so in theory we could combine them. .) But there are also a lot of players that are playing on multiple devices like 2 PCs or PC + mobile so the stored data might be incomplete.

So it would be possible to make an event based tool that shows warnings, but only for the investments you did on the same PC.
