Hi there

[Ballabird]

Hey there guys.

Yesterday was a great day. My girlfriend has been playing some flash game that had a really familliar music in it. After an hour of thinking I recalled it was from a game I really loved and used to play with my father when I was still in kindergarten, of course I'm talking about MULE:)

I thought to myself that there's probably gonna be an Atari emu, and If I'm lucky I might be able to find MULE for it.

Imagine my suprise when I found this website with a whole bunch of people playing it online

Anayway long story short it's really nice to be here. I played my first game yesterday but unfortunatly it seems the guy that was hosting was a total twat becouse he kicked me, and some other guy in the middle of the game. Afterwards I checked the chat log and he wrote "black listed" (log here:(log here:http://www.planetmule.com/hi-score-game/game?game_id=38644) Someone in the lobby explained that he's doing it to all new players, so I guess beginners luck doesn't really work here, but its still damn cool to be here and play MULE again

Cheers~~

welcome to PM mate,

I asked for a black list to be compiled on the forums to avoid this sort of thing happening to new players. Luckily my first game was with proper players. Either way just check the amount of games the host has played and also his win percentage, even the top ranked players generally dont have win percentages over 40% or there abouts.

Youll get to know who are the real players and how to spot smurfs and griefers/cheats.

Thanks for the tip, I'm not going to fall for it again

the best indicator is the hosting %.... if its below 80% beware.  The win % advice, while coming from a good place, is wrong....many of us do indeed have over 40% wins...most the top level people are between 45%-55% and are the most ethical of the players on planet mule.  The best advise I can give is to search a players name in either the hi-scores or the ranks area of this website and look at the chat history of their last few games.....the very few bad hosts that exist show themselves to be untrustworthy nearly every game they play.

Welcome to Planet Mule and enjoy your stay

I was unaware that some of you guys had win% were that high!!, but certainly the 60% and above is suspect and as already stated the host reliability is a big give away

The host in question is very well known here, you can find miles of topics concerning his abuses in the forum (I've taken the time to compiled many of them)

I'm glad you didn't let him make your first game your last.
