Around turns 17-20 I had the same kind of luck and complained bitterly to
Rich. After continued efforts, my comrades and I were successful but not
until we'd all posted donut attempts of a combined 0-11. Recently we have
been more successful and have established markets for tradegoods as soon as
two turns ago. I believe the random number generator is universal for all
factions attempting to find market for a tradegood and not localized to the
faction attempting to establish the market at hand. In other words for
someone else to succeed, someone else must fail. When I was having bad luck
others were not. Now my luck is up and yours is down. Strange but this has
been my experience with Olympian trade.
Best regards,
Brian
