Ok, I have made a VERY VERY large cake to be divided amongst all the drivers on trukz in the most EQUAL way. What is most equal?

Some drivers have been driving longer than others, should they get a larger piece?

Some drivers are more hungry than other drivers, should they get a larger piece?

Some drivers have more money than others, should they get a larger piece?

Some drivers are larger than others and require more food, should they get a larger piece?

How should this cake be divided in the most EQUAL way possible?

Ah the communist/socialist approach. But that answer leaves more questions. What about the drivers who have been here longer? The ones who have worked harder? Don't they deserve a bigger piece for their hard work and toil? Why should they get the same sized piece as someone who joined, ran a route and went inactive for 20 days or so?

But is that really fair? The truth is many drivers on this game have been here longer and have worked harder than other drivers. Should their piece of cake be larger?

I say that the cake is a lie, which we all know is true.

As you (and you alone) baked the cake, it should be up to you how the cake is divided. But then again, did you pay for the ingredients? Is the oven you used to bake the cake owned by you? Do you pay the gas/electric bill? You might find you are entitled to a lot less cake after all tongue.gif.

Mmm you cant really make a topic like this and claim it is meant to be taken seriously. By all appearances it really looks like you just created this thread to put down anyone who does not share your "cake sharing" ideals Alco rolleyes.gif

Blow the cake up.

Piece size = (days in game/total days of all drivers) * cake size = 0

Piece size = (hunger/total hunger) * cake size = 0

Piece size = (money/total money) * cake size = 0

Piece size = (mass/total mass) * cake size = 0

Piece size (Driver 1) = Piece size (Driver 2) = ... = Piece size (Driver n-1) = Piece size (Driver n)

Cut the cake in half. Divide the first half evenly among all drivers, like communism as you say. Sell the other half on ebay to the highest bidder.

If the cake is a gift, then it should be divided equal.

If the cake is earned, senior drivers get more.
