Had ANOTHER Host stop a game in the 10th round because he made a boneheaded move! I have had a rash of Hosts ending games and really adding up my abandoned stat! I keep a list of guys next to my computer that are quitters or troublemakers and the list is getting quite long and i have only played 20 games! Tired of QUITTERS !!! About ready to just play against 3 AI and forget humans!

They should be #1 and #2. Just by volume of games played! Everytime i log on to play those 2 are on there! Dont they have jobs or lives? There needs to be a better rankings system in place! Not just being the king by pure volume of WINS

I do have another thought on this.  The final ranking will also probably take abandonment ratio into the ranking as well.  That way, abandoning a game will be able to negatively affect player ranking.  Should abandonment negatively affect player ranking?  There is one note here - if all players abandon a game, then the game would not be ranked at all.  That way if a player drops out, there would be no penalty for all players quitting and restarting a new game, if desired.

Thats a bunch of BS !!!!!!! I have never QUIT a game of MULE in my life but have 3 negatives(abandoned) to my credit! 2 times the HOST stopped the game and i received a abandoned credit and the other time our power flickered off and i couldnt get back to the game in time to continue. When a outside force like a Host stops the game or it crashes dont give me a ABANDONED game on my record! I do agree on showing a persons abandoned stats if the system works properly but not when outside forces beyound my control do it!

I love MULE but this business of running up the Auction price stinks! STUPID! There is a game called Space Horse that copies MULE and you cant lower your bid ! Like that idea better!

     Why did Planet Mule try so hard to just copy the original game and spruce up the graffics? Sure we all loved the old MULE game but it had many flaws that should have been looked at and fixed not just carried over! The biggest joke to me is during the Auction phase where a guy can bid the price of a plot up as high as posible and just drop off the screen at the last second! I would rather see it where you cant drop off the screen and your required to pay ATLEAST the minimum at the bottom of the screen. A few new events could have also been added along with other original mule problems being improved! Even in last place i still run into the problem of a guy snatching my plot away! Much less of a problem than in the original game but still happens on occasion.

  The atari MULE was fun but the Crystite was always in the same spots! Top left and bottom left! In the same EXACT spots many times!

Just played a game today and nobody could buy a plot because one of the players kept raising the Plot price to like $3200 and then dropping off screen at the last second! This needs to be fixed!

   I dont agree with Trebor1234 at all !!! Knowing that you only have 1 auction per round kills the strategy and waiting until the 6th Just have less auctions is the easy fix!

How about slider bars for the settings so people can customize things themselves. Set the amount of events to your liking when playing non tournement games and limit the auctions to like 6 max for tournement games.

   I am yet to even play a game online against another human! I just found out about planet mule and am playing a few practice games even though i have played MULE for 25 years. Since i cant play that often i will probably always be at the bottom of the rankings with the current rankings system even though i know how to play well. Damn rip! Some people have jobs and families! :Let us have a break! Winning % with atleast 20 games minimum or spmething!?

        I have a logitech duel action gamepad but have trouble running straight and am always doing a zig zag which costs me time especially in the corral. Anybody use a gamepad that lets you run around smoothly or do i just need to practice like a madman Thanks
