Noticed this when trying to bid on some corps for the past day.

Example corp: https://sim01.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=ccorp&miCorpNumber=834022

When the date was August 19 5712 on Kebir Blue, the corp said it was founded on August 19 5710 - exactly two years ago.
Product: Oil
Latest Market Price: Market Price 1,431 SC$ per ton
Corporation Type: private corporation
Founded: August 19 5710


Two in-game days later, date is Aug 21 5712, and the founded date increased by two days...
Product: Oil
Latest Market Price: Market Price 1,431 SC$ per ton
Corporation Type: private corporation
Founded: August 21 5710


Date is Sep 2 5712, and the corp founded date changed to be exactly two years old again.
Product: Oil
Latest Market Price: Market Price 1,431 SC$ per ton
Corporation Type: private corporation
Founded: September 2 5710


And now it is Kebir Blue: Sep 24 5712, the founded date went back in time to August 24 5710
Product: Oil
Latest Market Price: Market Price 1,431 SC$ per ton
Corporation Type: private corporation
Founded: August 24 5710


This is happening with more corps.

Can a GM look into this? The founded date should be immutable.

My gripe with this changing of the Founded date was because I was looking to bid on corporations.

When a corporation is New, it has the New Corporation status as indicated by the yellow star next to it, and they show the following text to a CEO below the first table:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

The corporation was recently acquired. You cannot bid on this corporation for n months.<!-/Quote-!>


As a note, the corporation wasn't recently acquired, but built instead. In any event, the text suggests the n in that warning begins at 24 months. When that period elapsed, I tried to bid on it by, but I got the following warning:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

Sorry, this corporation is too young. You cannot yet place a bid.<!-/Quote-!>


Testing out every month, I see now you can't place a bid on a corporation for 48 months.

I imagine this is a leftover from when the worlds ran at 3 game months per day.

Can you please change the text to start at 48 game months? And can the star icon next to the corps be there for 48 game months as well, so everything is consistent?

As above, this warning needs to be updated:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

You have already placed a bid on 6 other corporations.
You cannot place a bid on this corporation.<!-/Quote-!>


The limit is 12 now.

To continue on this topic,

I received the following message:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

Subject: Bid More?
Message: You offered 182687M for Niles Platinum in La Republica del Bambaro when its value was 182677M. Now the value is 200945M and your bid will not be accepted. The auction is not over yet so you can still bid more!<!-/Quote-!>


Message states I lost the auction, yet I gained ownership of the corporation in question.
