On Mac you may have to add the parameter "-Xmx800M" to your Java settings. You find it in Applications > Utilities > Java Settings. Click on "Java SE 6", click "Settings" and then type "-Xmx800M" (without the qutations) in the box that appeared.

I'm using a 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac ( 10.5.8 ) with Safari Version 5.0.2. I'm still getting the error message "The game requires more memory. You can either download a new version of Java or go to your Java Control Panel and add the parameter -Xmx700M. Your Current memory limit is 99MB.", even after modifying the Java Preferences to include -Xmx800M

I've relaunched the browser after making the changes but it had no effect.

I really like the new ranking system. I think it does justice to those who play the game.

Just a thought, how about recalculating the weekly Top 3 to compensate for only Legal games?

It would be like checking for band steroids after someone has won a race.

Thank you for all the hard work that you've put in to making this game.

Ditto. I'l like to join.

Yep, additional notification for testing would be nice.

It's exactly stuff like this that we should be trying to discourage and prevent:

Hello Peter,

All games that are to be counted should have 4 human players at the beginning and at least 3 human players at the end and that should be retroactive.

I don't believe voting will help in this particular situation. The problem that I've seen with certain hosts is that they will not necessarily "kick a player" but will wait them out until the player finally disconnect.

(Example after the end of round 3 energy auction, the host simply takes a 20 minute break by not pressing their spacebar to continue the game, the other users are forced to abandon the game as it maybe 3 hrs before the host comes back to continue).

I would also ask that other users be able to report bad hosts to you directly. If the bad host quota gets reaches say from 10 different users in a 2 week period then I would 1st warn the host that there was a problem. If there were to be a continuation of bad reports, then a 1 month banning maybe in forced or even an extreme  penalty of "loss of Won" games.

As it is now, we've been policing ourselves. I've built up a list of players that I will not play against, nor hosts that I will not join. It's the new players unfamiliar with this predatorial tactic that get fooled initially by the host and then discouraged to continue or it's the hosts 2nd account that they use to initiate a game with "2 players".

There's been some controversy about this subject lately. We in the development team are thinking of how to fix this for the next release.

Currently there is a problem when the host can kick human players and then finish the game against the AI to score a win.

But there is a similar problem if players can leave by the end of the game to deny the leading player his or her score.

Maybe we should require at least 3 human players to start a tournament game?
Require voting to kick players?

Many games which currently do count as abandoned should maybe maybe not be abandoned. For example if you're kicked, if you leave when there are 3 AI and maybe even if you leave during the first round?

My current suggestion of how to count a won game is this: Two human players must have been in the game for at least 3 rounds. The host may not have kicked the last other player.

Do you better suggestions?

I'd like to suggest that all games ending with 1 player & 3 bots should not be counted towards the Hi-Score list nor the weekly challenge.

I'd also like this policy to be retroactive.

What are your thoughts?

- WhosYourBuddy?

Actually, it seems none of the games played after Jan 28th 03:00 are being saved or updated to the High Score list properly.

Version 1.2.3 is here. Just installed in on my iMac and it works.

- Who'sYourBuddy?

Well I'm glad it's been fixed but it still does work on my old 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running 10.5.8 with 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.

I've also did a clean install of mule, as well as tried to launch version 1.2.0 but nope, it didn't work.

It did and does work on my 2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo  MacBook running 10.6.2 with 2GB of RAM.

- Who's Your Buddy?

Actually a lot of people are having problems with the 1.2.2 version of Mule. You can read about it in the BUGS section of this forum.

- Who's Your Buddy?

Actually I'm running 10.6.2 on my MacBook, and it's still no go for MULE.

- Who's Your Buddy?

Well I hope 1.2.3 is coming soon!

- Who's Your Buddy?

Actually I manually deleted 1.2.1, downloaded 1.2.2 and installed it, and it won't launch.

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on an 2.4 Ghz iMac.

- Who's Your Buddy?

I can't seem to install this correctly. It seems to download and install, but when I go to activate the newly downloaded version 1.2.2, I get the request to install from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 again.

And again, and again.
