@RossM asked for a die roll: Using the above order to decide who goes first… `d5: 4` ---

I think sitting in the 5th seat may not be too bad a thing for this one. ---

I don’t think so… I think I magically buy it from your machine area and a truck drops it at my dock? Is that right? ---

Ahh, yes, sorry. I was mistaken. The Factory to Dock is teleporty, the Dock to Island requires boatitude. ---

Is anybody using any clever ways to secretly track their cash? Not to shine too bright a light, I believe I now have $22 (assuming in this imaginary world we are in all currencies are 1:1 exchanges, which is convenient because my keyboard does not have a ‘£’ character on it). I categorically do _not_ expect my opponents to track my money for me; e.g. I don’t expect Ross to go through any steps other than those that were performed to let me know my container was purchased at 2₽. I think, for now, I shall keep a Google Docs Spreadsheet. I’d be curious if anybody else has a good idea for tracking cash, money and/or bling. ---

Surely the ideal character to use here is U+00A4 ¤ CURRENCY SIGN? (Proposed in 1972 as a placeholder - “ASCII doesn’t have our non-US currency symbol so we’ll use this one instead”. I don’t believe it’s ever been widely used.) ---

So far I’ve just got the bills from the game to make keeping track of myself easier. I’ll probably allow a little note pad to keep tabs (not something I’d do in game, but it also doesn’t usually play out over a week). ---

> [@RogerBW](#): > > Surely the ideal character to use here is U+00A4 ¤ CURRENCY SIGN? I like it! For those of you with keyboard mappings similar to mine, it’s easily fabricated with the keyboard combination of ALT+0164 (that is, holding Alt while typing 0164 _on the keypad_). Also easily fabricated by the arcane process of _copy & paste_. ---

I think I’m going to use the PM method - it’ll keep my scoring card at the top of my inbox as well. [Next page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/container-game-1/1223.md?page=2)
