+Ruud4d Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Okay, here's Part II of the Want List tutorial... Q. What if several people have listed a coin I really want. If I include all the IDs in my want lists, is it possible to get more than one? A. Using the method I described above, yes this is a posibility. Say you have listed coinID 1 and coinID 2 up for trade. Youd like to get two of the following coins for them: "Planisphere North gold" (IDs 612 781) "Mimbres v2 nickel/brown" (IDs 218 832 1020) "Jersey Devil black nickel" (ID 213) "Earth Turtle Tahiti" (IDs 16 511 679 769) So you could make the following want list: 1 : 612 781 218 832 1020 213 16 511 679 769 2 : 612 781 218 832 1020 213 16 511 679 769 However, by doing it this way you'd 'risk' receiving coin 612 for your coin 1 and coin 781 for your coin 2. You'd end up with two "Planisphere" coins instead of getting two different coins. You can avoid this very easily by defining variables. You define a coin group to make sure you only get at most 1 coin from that group. Pick a name for your group and stick a percent sign ('%') in front of it to indicate that it is a variable. Then add a colon (':') and a space-delimited list of coin IDs. In the example above, my coin variables would look like this: %PlanisphereNorth : 612 781 %MimbresV2brown : 218 832 1020 %ETTahiti : 16 511 679 769 Now you simply include these names in your want list, instead of the actual coin numbers. Your list would then change to look like this: 1 : %PlanisphereNorth %MimbresV2brown 213 %ETTahiti 2 : %PlanisphereNorth %MimbresV2brown 213 %ETTahiti This way, if coin 1 gets traded for one of the coins from the %PlanisphereNorth group, this will prevent coin 2 from being traded for another coin from that same group. Your variables must be defined at the top of the want list that you send to me, and every line must start with your nickname in parentheses. (E&Cplus3) %PlanisphereNorth : 612 781 (E&Cplus3) %MimbresV2brown : 218 832 1020 (E&Cplus3) %ETTahiti : 16 511 679 769 (E&Cplus3) 1 : %PlanisphereNorth %MimbresV2brown 213 %ETTahiti (E&Cplus3) 2 : %PlanisphereNorth %MimbresV2brown 213 %ETTahiti But wait! There's more! You can nest your variables. This means that you can take a variable that you have already defined and use it within another variable. Why would you do this? Say you have a coin that you would like to trade for an Earth Turtle Tahiti coin, and only for the Earth Turtle Tahiti. But there are a few of them in the list (IDs 16 511 679 769). There are some other coins that you would like trade for ANY Earth Turtle coin, including the Tahiti, and there are a LOT of them (IDs 767 1051 511 553 768 769 741 481 482 15 679 16 697 416 417 418) Well, you already have the Tahitis defined, so now you need to create a variable for the whole group: (E&Cplus3) %PlanisphereNorth : 612 781 (E&Cplus3) %MimbresV2brown : 218 832 1020 (E&Cplus3) %ETTahiti : 16 511 679 769 (E&Cplus3) %ETAll : %ETTahiti 767 1051 553 768 741 481 482 15 697 416 417 418 (E&Cplus3) 1 : %PlanisphereNorth 213 %MimbresV2brown (E&Cplus3) 2 : %PlanisphereNorth 213 %MimbresV2brown (E&Cplus3) 3 : %ETTahiti (E&Cplus3) 4 : %ETAll Notice how the fourth variable definition uses the variable defined earlier. In my want lists, coin 3 uses the ETTahiti variable, and coin 4 uses the variable for all Earth Turtles. Just a few notes about precedence: the coins listed in a variable all have equal weight! So, in the %ETAll variable, coin 16 has the same weight as coin 418. However, when using variables in your want lists, the normal precedence rules apply (ie. %PlanisphereNorth trumps coin 213, which trumps %MimbresV2brown, etc). That's it! Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification if I haven't explained things well enough. I know it is late in the game but I can't find how to list a group so I only get one Karma instead of 7. I know we did it the last time but can't find it now. I am working on my list and just wanted to get it straight. I know we list it at the top but can't remember if we just name it or what. HELP.
