Hello,
I'm TopherGene, and I've been playing MULE back to the C64 days. I was so excited to see that the game had been re-created and online for multi-player use. I signed up this week, downloaded the game, and played a few local games to get the hang of the interface. I played my first game, and was the recipient of a "LOT" of unfriendly tone from the other players for not moving quickly enough, not knowing where the Crystite was (I didn't ask, they just kept responding "None There"), and just for not being an expert of the game on my first try.
I blew it off as I figured they were ultimately just trying to help me understand how they played the game, and how my clicking of a button during production may interfere with their need for an expedient match. air Enough. Today, I logged in to play my 2nd match. Found an open game. Jumped into the game, and [J]oined. Rhodan, who I am sure is very important, as he is currently number 2 in the community rankings. I am merely 2969th. C64 is also ranked well at number 60. When they asked me if I knew how to play. I responded, "Yes". C64 and Rhodan joked about beating one another to the punch for asking that question. I explained that I played the game about 6000 times back in the 80's. Still that was not enough, and they suggested that the #102 ranked Beaster should join instead of me, because in response to my saying "Yes" to the question, the two aforementioned jerks replied "That's what they all say".
