I went for the article..... but I stayed for the 202 comments.  Boy oh boy the comments.

I just tried out the new build on single player, I noticed the wumpus pops around a lot quicker than in a normal mule game.  Is that so you can't count on that bonus money each turn (where as in original it was a given you would catch it) or is it because multiple people will be on map at one time?  And since there will be multiple people developing land, does that mean only 1 of the 2 or 3 players per turn can catch him?

So I am guessing Wed the 17th is actually Tuesday the 16th on the west cost of USA?  I am on planet mule right now and server time says 07:00 UTC but nobody is here.... 

wait... you had the test already?  I thought it was later on tonight.  My two cents from trying playing solo is for the start, when you choose your races, maybe everyone takes turns choosing one then back to the winner of bid to choose their second race, this way everyone gets a chance of getting at least one race they wanted.

hey guys, I should be available Wednsday night (11PST).  Loading app now to see if it works, will repost if it doesn't load.

Thanks that worked, did an /ipconfig / all and used new address

same here, was able to host before, but not now after patch

You go to the Alps to go "Wumpus hunting"
You make the bwooooooooo, BWOOOOOOOOP sounds during the spoilage/production phase in auction house.
You wonder how the blob in the green overalls gets his suspenders up.

There was also a post-apocalypse car game (not Auto Duel) where u drove cross cuntry picking up cars and people to join your gang, had turn based combat where u drive down the highways shootingup people.  Cant think of the name but had a sequal that took place in Europe.... anyone remember the name?

Hey!  I dance all the time (But it is disco dancing with my MULE, not in auctions).  I've been accused by 2 opponents (in same game) of being a poor sport.  It was because i starved them out since they hogged up all the good ore plots.  I've played many people here and in other games and never been accused and cried too like that.  So after many rounds of complaining and boo hoos I gave in and feed em all to shut em up.

    My question is:  Do you consider that bad sportsmanship or a plan to win?  Denying people food and or energy when u have it (BTW after turn 2 of them all building ore they had no food or energy for next 6 turns).

     Oh and then they have the nerve to laugh when they end up winning cause I caved in and let them off the hook.

Or instead of hunting wumpus there was a "build your own MULE" mini game.  Could be like a logic puzzle, or matching game that u can play during your normal turn time and if you complete it, you get a free mule that you can then outft or sell to the store.  The mini game should take up at least half of your turn so that it woudn't be done every turn by all players.

What if we add another stage to the auction where u can spend money into R&D?  Everyone ca raise their bar as if they are going to buy a resource bt when timer ends tat cash is spent to research new technology.
  I was thinking for every 1000 spent in R&D you would get a random bonus.  You can only get 1 per round and lets say that it takes 1 turn to produce.

Some ideas for bonuses:

         Food capsules - for purposes of consumption, each food u have counts as 2.
         Glass drill bit -  Production of crystals on one of your plots is doubled/trippled but then breaks
          Bat-lizard spray (etc) -  Protects u from one form of bad event


just a quick jot down of some ideas... gotta gt back to my game   Please add suggestions on idea or types of inventions.

thanks
 

Doesn't rain bring floods?  Should also effect energy production.

 -effect: reduces energy production on board, also all farms on or adjacent to a river produce no food.

I'd like to think of it as "Natures' Spce Pirate"
