Every Monday, we store your available money (cash + bank). The next Monday, we see how much have you earned in the previous week, so we take your available money again (cash + bank) and subtract the available money you had last Monday. In other words, it's not your total money that counts, it's the total profit you've actually made during that week. Let me give you an example:
Say that you start from $0.
Week 1: You make $10B and spend $2B. So you have $8B profit made during week 1 and let's say you qualify for the Weekly Wealthiest Rankings with this amount.
Week 2: You make $10B again, but this time you spend $12B. So you now have $6B available (you already had $8B from last week, you made $10B this week and spent $12B from your total amount of $18B). Even if you think you made $6B this week (because you have them in cash or bank) and you should qualify for the Weekly Wealthiest board, you actually made -$2B during week 2 (you earned $10B and spent $12B).
That's the difference between Weekly and All time. After Week 2, for the All time board you are ranked for your $6B, but for the Weekly board you are ranked for your -$2B. If we're to consider your $6B for the Weekly board it will be unfair for the other players, the same players will be on the Weekly board every week and the Weekly board will have the same players and amounts as the All time board.
We believe that this is fair and all other players understood this algorithm. Please let us know if you feel this is unfair in any way. As I said in my previous post, you have the live counter on your Rankings page so you can see for yourself every time you want the real amount that you made during the week, the amount that will be considered the next Monday.
