Hi main, thx for your excellent mule4u-bot! I particularly enjoy the "obscure records". I´ve got one little suggestion which others have already talked about: PLEASE remove "bot: auctions" altogether. I think this command is indeed totally superfluous. Even worse, it gives a huge advantage to players who are familiar with your bot. I needed some time to check out that some players now type this command to find out if they have to bid the extra $60 in an auction in order to prevent another player from buying another plot. In my humble opinion, this command is really a nuisance, because it also makes the game unnecessarily complicated and distracts from the real action. I don´t enjoy having to type commands in order to have a better chance to win. Pure gameplay - that´s what we want, don´t we? Greetings from mopssamson

I agree completely.

Great ideas both, Chip.

Planet M.U.L.E. has done an excellent job of reviving this classic game, especially tournament mode. However, it is not exactly like the original. As is, player race has no bearing, the wumpus is too easily caught by each player every turn until the last mountain plot is taken and the amount of MULES able to be placed in a single turn feels double to the original tournament mode. With these things in mind, I personally would like to see the town outfitters randomized, perhaps even the Crystite Probe dealer, Land Auctioneer, Bar and MULE Seller randomized as well.

I'm curious how other players feel about the proposed changes.

Happy trails...

I just realized that I hadn't given yet any due praise to this effort.

I hope that the number of games I have played (and will play) speaks for my appreciation.

What Piete said, plus a big thank you to the Buntens, Mr. Watson, Mr. Rushing, the Turborilla team & Big Head Zach.

Happy trails and happy "Mule'in"!

Irata needs a Home Depot...badly. :p

Can you say forum moderator lockdown? :p

Atari while listening to Dr. Demento in a trainboard cramped and dimly lit garage. And then there was that life size cut-out of Steve Martin from "The Jerk". :]

I just finished a game, and when I went to profile to look at it, and/or hi-scores, that game does not show as a game I have played.

Same thing happened to me.

Works nicely, Salinga. Thank you!

It seems to me that land auctions are only occurring on the left/western side of the map. Has anyone else noticed this too?

Personally, I'm a Talisman fan.  I have all 4 versions of the release game...

I loved Talisman!

In version 1.1
it wasn't all that fun
Since smithore was king
the host with no ping
could buy out the store and be done
(and your chances of winning are none).

Zposse FTW!

I learned of MULE, back in the 90's, from the same guy who introduced me to Escape from Colditz. Fun times.
