The pirates win because they don’t have to fight you.
Only if you buy the shares second, right? If they would have fought without your manipulation, they think they’re better off getting paid and fighting you.
The order has some impact but that’s a second-order effect compared to volume of shares you buy. The most important question is whether the difference between Ceres’ purchases minus Mars’ purchases exceed market speculators’ available liquidity.
Hm. This is the most important question for how much utility the pirates get? I agree it’s the most important for deciding whether the pirates attack you or not. I feel like it’s not surprising if the order affects which point on the Pareto frontier we end up at.
