A Conversation with a EQ Noob!
 

I had a conversation with my fiance today.

Me: So let's say that you have a Wal-Mart, only one Wal-Mart, and inside this Wal-Mart there are 12 items, and outside Wal-Mart there are 1000 people who want to get these items. What do you do?

Her: Ummm...well I would get more items for the Wal-Mart. Increase the supply.

Me: That's not an option, in fact, you only get 12 items per day delivered to your Wal-Mart, and these 1000 people keep showing up to try to get at these items. What now?

Her: I would tell people to come back tomorrow.

Me: Well, that's fine but now they are rioting outside your Wal-Mart, and things are starting to get really bad.

Her: Well...uh. I would... (pause) ... I would just sell the leads! To another store, because those people can't get these items.

Me: A good idea, but let's say that in fact you're the only store in the universe that has these 12 specific items, and the ambiance of your store is what makes people come, not really the items.

Her: Oh no! Well, if that's the only options then I would just control the rioting and keep selling my 12 items. Why are you asking me this??

Me: No reason, bye!

Her: What?! Why?!

Me: Byeeeeeee....

[UPDATE a little later...]

Me: so we're back at Wal-Mart and we have the same scenario, but how do you keep these rioters under control?

Her: Um...

Me: There's no police support, but in fact you're the mayor of this town and can tell them what to do to an extent.

Her: Well I would just tell them to stop it.

Me: They stop, but then start right back up after someone ran into your store and took all 12 items for themselves.

Her: I would tell them they need to be faster.

Me: It's a year later and this same person regularly comes into your store first and gets the best deals on most of your 12 items.

Her: Well shit. I think I would just get paintball guns and start shooting them until they stop (temp bans?).

Me: That's fine but they don't really stop, they are just more sneaky.

Her: I...I have no idea, why are you asking me this?

Me: No reason again, byeeee.

Her: I'm coming in there!

Me: No! i have to remember this conversation I'll tell you later byeeeee.

Stop making threads please.

This message is hidden because Aaron is on your ignore list.

(probably for a good reason, he's a young RNFer who lost RNF)

Lol this is fucking hilarious, but actually not a horrible idea.. We need people to think outside the box :)

:P I thought it was a funny conversation too.

It seems to me this elusive 'compromise' is a tough cookie to crack!

My girlfriend says "I would tell them to go to a Wal-mart that wasn't so shitty."

LOL

this seemed a little to close to home to be real.

or her logic is just different than mine.
