i've been away for months and it's unfortunate that this is still a problem with numerous people... i know megabyte was always a problem even though he claimed he had problems but it always happened when he wasn't winning and he wouldn't let anyone else host... it was always fun playing with people as respectable as c64

i've seen this happen before and i was pretty ticked about it... but then when i pointed it out to the person, he got all upset about it... anyway, you have to keep in mind that's part of the game so just try to win anyway!

mule should be available on every single device possible!    i miss the game but i got burnt out on it and couldn't keep up with the ranking model awarding playing numerous games rather than win percentages

i know there was talk about resetting all the scores/stats at some point in time... has it been decided when this would happen?   or since the medals started, there is no expectation of this?

yeah that seems like it could be an easy option on the profile... consider myself voting on it too... that way at least it could change it up a bit

unfortunately having so many different rankings just makes it hard to read and a busy interface... i think that starting with 4 humans is the only real option because people will leave for whatever reason... however if the host kicks when they didn't get a message saying not responding or waiting a couple minutes, then it should also not be ranked... i agree with piete that people would start disconnecting at the end if they knew that would make it so the other player would not get credit for the win

when are the high scores going to be reset?  i heard about this and felt i would just as soon know when and how often they are reset before trying to make it back up the rankings... honestly i don't care much for playing with newbs because it's not much fun... i like playing against people that know what they're doing... i'm sorry if that hurts people that are trying to start out but why should i waste 1.5 hours of my time if i'm not having fun... now if i'm really itching to play a game, i'll play with whoever but there is nothing more frustrating then trying to teach someone and then they quit after a round or two to have an AI take over their spot

yeah Zach, that sounds pretty good... you're right, that would make some incentive to get highest score even if not 1st...  i just don't think there is going to ever be a possible ranking that will solve all issues but i guess we can come close!

i've always found that to be quite a strange feature but figured it helps newbs not waste money

unfortunately the way mule works it will always be first and not first in my eyes... colony score is good but only if you are winning or close... otherwise, let's say i end with 12k and the colony is 120k+... i really wouldn't care because i know that i was doing sh$tty in the game

heh Kelmi, i totally agree... i've done that before where i didn't sell food and/or energy and was accused of that as well but i was just trying to teach them to be a better mule player in the future... it's always best to provide your own unless you know someone will sell to you cheap

yeah that would be nice so someone couldn't wait for a better price if they were the only one with $

thanks piete... yeah i was thinking about just waiting to play when next version comes out... i started not having it as much fun before and it took up so much time to keep up and not let someone pass me in the rankings! heh   cheers!

i was on vacation last week and came back surprised to see the rankings very similar... does this mean the problem has not been fixed?

mega byte, i think what people have an issue with you on is that you tend to quit games and your list of games show it for your bad connection or whatever reason.  so sometimes that is misperceived as quitting when you're losing or think you will... but you are right, you can't cheat in mule!

i can believe that... i even read c64's post but didn't realize what it meant until i played one just now and it didn't save anything from it   it was a fun game though
