Alright, civil discourse got me, I made an account. :P

No, I did not forget my buildup. I kept it simple by asking you to estimate your time to earn 800 e9 shares, which was my 1 day gain. My total at the time was 1.68 e12. Based on your math, you'd need about 32 days to get that with your script.

I've almost TRIPLED my shares since yesterday (I'm at 4.68 e12 now). You'd need roughly 90 days to match that number of shares if you ran your script 24/7 with no interruptions.

But you're NOT really talking about matching my share generation, at least not yet. I've been talking about my base shares, without doubling, and I don't have a final tally quite yet.

As soon as you factor in 10 gems when I sell the company, you're suddenly facing 6+ months of letting your script monopolize a computer to match the shares I'll get.

My original projection of 4-5 e12 shares was low.

My final share number will definitely be higher than 5 e12, I still have a couple thousand levels to go. It will happen in a few hours, I'm in e297 money now.

Currently in my game...
Total levels: 54750
Shares: 4.68 e12
Double shares: 9.36 e12

I've been dinking around with this game for about 3 months. It took me about two weeks to start my first semi serious stock run (after unlocking the diamond market), which I ended around e220. That allowed me to buy my decos (naturally, the neon came in last), and level them up a fair bit. With the sign in my pocket giving me 9x shares, I started my final stock run that will complete the upgrades.

So, looking at it from the absolute beginning (level 1 CEO, first login), it has taken me 97 days to buy and max out all decorations.

In hindsight, I'm pretty sure that I could have maxed out all decos besides the sign at least a month earlier if I had continued my first stock run to e300 instead of selling off to go buy the sign.

I think you're overestimating the benefit of incremental deco upgrades on your share generation rate. The impact of going from no deco bonus on something to +1 is huge. The impact of upgrading a deco from level 50 to 51 is tiny, and 100 to 101 will be miniscule.

Oh yes, most definitely agreed. I did a ton of quick sells (without doubling) while I was getting the markets opened up, I started this long run at company level 90.
