Yogabbagabba visits
Yogabbagabba left the game
OnToMars: shoot no one else...sigh
OnToMars: you play well bossi
Bossi: my most abandoned games are from closed hosted games - restarts
Bossi: hmm, at mule luck is about 45% ;-)
OnToMars: do you snow the Japan player akita...or whatever monicker he uses?
Bossi: akira?
OnToMars: i am not sure what he uses...his M O is that he lurks with two bots on his server and lures newbies into a loss
OnToMars: I have a very smart MIT friend, played and was very disappointed
OnToMars: with atika, akira....whatever
OnToMars: anyway this Jpn bozo sent MIT a virus...not good to play with computer engineers
OnToMars: :)
Bossi: oh...
Bossi: i know that akira made same fake accounts and played his(or her?)self...
OnToMars: anyway i was trying to recruit some new players...and now they (my MIT) friends think it was a dirty joke
OnToMars: ugh
OnToMars: I has so 'splaynin to do
OnToMars: any way... my friends have floppy copies of Mule '83 circa in the MainFrame
Bossi: btw virus: maybe because of java...
OnToMars: Java had a huge breach
OnToMars: my friends think it was the PRC
Bossi: i dont know that stuff - but i use java for almost all games i play via net...
OnToMars: It nearly ruined JAVA, and Oracle...parent company i think
Bossi: sun - i think oracle bought sun some years ago...
OnToMars: JAva has since repaired and updated their software, but you have the talking heads like Kim Kommando telling the world to dump alll Java stuff
OnToMars: oh yes
OnToMars: quite right
Bossi: i use open office too - thats why i know that... ;-)
Bossi: at the updates there was a new brand name
OnToMars: Are you an attorney?
Bossi: no... ;-)
OnToMars: I am a teacher, bus-driver
OnToMars: finished a PhD in physics, now trying to get #2 PhD in Statesmanship from Hillsdale College
Bossi: i studied history and have only small jobs at the moment
OnToMars: Then i will be ready to confront the Obamanites
Bossi: 2 Phd? wow!
OnToMars: hey. work is work...tell you what though....bus driving around campus is a hoot
OnToMars: done some chicago, indianapolis, and st. louis stuff too...fun
OnToMars: yup....the educational goals are my Mt Everests
Bossi: :-)
OnToMars: I have had lots of folks asking why...my retort is, cause i want to.
OnToMars: :0
OnToMars: lol
Bossi: i was in the US some years ago - for a german its quit boring when you drive with 60 miles for over 4 h...! ;-)
OnToMars: oh man, i love Germany
OnToMars: that has got to be the best driving i have done
Bossi: autobahn? ;-)
OnToMars: did Garmish, lots of Alps, Switzerland
Bossi: ah, ok - i live in the north
OnToMars: hey, our Interstate is based on your autobahn
OnToMars: and yea got to drive it in a Army truck doing 50...lol
Bossi: 50 kmh or miles?
OnToMars: miles
Bossi: ah... :)
OnToMars: oh my 50 kph...32?
OnToMars: no that would be a snoozer
OnToMars: now
Bossi: puhhh - 1 mile is about 1.4 kmh i think
OnToMars: your english is very good
Bossi: hmm, thanks...
OnToMars: 1.62
Bossi: but i make VERY much mistakes... ;-)
OnToMars: no less than guys from 'Jersey
Bossi: :-D
OnToMars: One of my PhD requirements...aside from spelling is to learn two languanges: one ancient and one modern
OnToMars: I am going to read German, and I have choosen Latin
Bossi: for physics?
Bossi: ancient?
OnToMars: For statesmanship
OnToMars: Political Science
Bossi: ah, ok - but you REALLY dont need that - who reads the ancient philosophs in the original...?
OnToMars: Physics, I picked up some Italian and French....English everyone speaks...Thank God
OnToMars: Scientists from most other countries are usually very accomodating
OnToMars: Germans and the Italians are awesome
Bossi: i studied history, political science and sociology - but i didnt needed any language (didnt made middle ages...)
OnToMars: French are nice, if you show them some respect
OnToMars: it was the Brits who are tough to figure...jokes about everything, wasn't sure when they were serious
Bossi: the british humor!
OnToMars: yes yes
Bossi: monty python and so on!
OnToMars: yuppers
OnToMars: did you know your countrymen are working on a real transporter...very primitive...but it has demonstrated it's applicability
OnToMars: I am a particle physicist working on Fusion
Bossi: in 2000 i was in southwest US - we met some really strange, but enormous friendly people in Utah...
OnToMars: Utah...very different, very neat
OnToMars: lots of Mormons
Bossi: transporter - like Scotty beam me up?
OnToMars: yes
Bossi: working with electrons or more?
OnToMars: protons
Bossi: hmm
OnToMars: very stable
Bossi: matter
Bossi: but not atoms, right? (ok, hydrogen... ;-) )
OnToMars: electrons are not quite a particle, lots of work, heisenburg princeple etc demonstrates its a force
OnToMars: yes
OnToMars: atoms are a way of explaining the building blocks
OnToMars: that is what i do
OnToMars: and teach
Bossi: i know some physics - but nothing about the math behind that stuff... :)
OnToMars: hydrogen is an element, an atom of hydrogen, and
OnToMars: that is why i use a calculator
OnToMars: :)
Bossi: a proton is H+ i know - but, hmm, oxygen is much more heavier and much more complicated... thats why i asked because of the transporter
OnToMars: If Europe does not capitulate with it's Arab invasion, and internal Angst you guys will have a fusion reactor before North Am
OnToMars: water...lovely stuff
OnToMars: and yes, complicated
Bossi: hmm - im not sure if a fusion-reactor will ever work...
OnToMars: I assure you in 20 years it will be up, maybe 11 a working model...depends on how fast we can get to Mars
Bossi: its difficult and cost a LOT of energy to start it....
OnToMars: yup
OnToMars: u have done your homework
Bossi: i think using the solar power (wind, water) is much more easier to do
OnToMars: it is so slow, uses huge resources to make
OnToMars: and it will work
Bossi: build solar collectors in all deserts of the world - that would make enough energy
OnToMars: but not like Fusion
OnToMars: yes, if they are left alone
OnToMars: eco freaks like to break them up
OnToMars: the materials to make them are costly
Bossi: and political borders, i know
OnToMars: and yes it is a source and should be thoroughly looked into
Bossi: hmm, in germany the solar industry is going bankrupt because thje chinese are much more cheaper, isnt as much expensive as it was a few years ago
OnToMars: the US is going big into wind...the problem is the need for a battery that can store, utilize the energy collected over a long period of time
Bossi: jup
OnToMars: PRC are cheating sons of bitches, I failed one of my PRC students who found a part of my dissertation and helped himself to my work
Bossi: PRC?
OnToMars: I have found PRC students are Communists first and fake science...Peoples Republic of China
Bossi: ah
OnToMars: they steal everything
OnToMars: they cheat when they can
Bossi: doesnt that do everyone else?
Bossi: :-)
OnToMars: no not really. Except that Sonof aBitch Obama tapping into Merkles phone...so embarrased
Bossi: we have some political scandals here in germany - PhDs of politicans done with Copy n Paste...
OnToMars: Geez
OnToMars: oh man
OnToMars: Our allies, and my government acting like soviets
Bossi: secretary of defense some years ago about 70% of his PhD... ;-)
Bossi: btw: that spying was done all the years before...
Bossi: since the start of the cold war
OnToMars: it is one thing to look, listen, surveillance...it is quite another to spy on Iron-Clad allies
Bossi: but now the instruments are much more better - thats the difference..
OnToMars: yes indeed
OnToMars: here is what pissis me off the most: My own government, NSA, listening to ALLof our phone conversations
Bossi: i have no illusions about that - every goverment who can afford that is doing that...
OnToMars: I start my conversations telling the NSA to piss off
OnToMars: you are indeed more realistic than i
OnToMars: I fear big Brother more than ever
Bossi: Big brother is reality... :-(
OnToMars: the one thing that bothered me most about Europe, were the cameras...everywhere
OnToMars: no my moron US government is following like a bunch of lap dogs
OnToMars: now
Bossi: in UK, not Germany - fortunately
OnToMars: I might be a PhD, but damn i can not spell
OnToMars: yes...yes, i said Europe, i meant UK
Bossi: i use some translation-websites too ;-)
OnToMars: I spent most of my time with the Brits
Bossi: you know some history? the state ALWAYS wanted to control its citizens, no matter if that made sense or not...
OnToMars: Bossi, i really do love Europe, Britian and Germany especially, and want their best
Bossi: all the centuries...
OnToMars: yes...hence my passion for the study of the US Constitution and Statesmanship...you have my motivation
Bossi: i like US too - its nice to live there
OnToMars: I will be very loud when i finish, my PhD...I plan on running for government, I will take a vow of poverty and raise Cain.
OnToMars: I will have my country return to the Bill of Rights
OnToMars: Read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, and the next time you beat me at Mule, tell me how you liked it.
Bossi: hmm, look at the US at the time of 1800 - wasnt perfect... ;-)
OnToMars: no it wasnt...but we did ok
Bossi: slavery, poverty, eleminations of the indians...
OnToMars: nice that you brought that up, it means that there is hope for the better
OnToMars: slavery was resolved: 13th Amendment and a lot of dieing.
Bossi: yes - but it took a war for that ;-)
OnToMars: Poverty, not so much now....but we have embraced alot of stupid Keynesian and Socialist nonsense
Bossi: there was a interesting process some years before the civil war - right of freedom vs right of property...
OnToMars: Indians? hm mm....I am half Cherokee, my mother was full blooded
OnToMars: yes...tough questions. The Dred Scott case comes to mind
OnToMars: Indians in America are alive and in the millions
Bossi: dont know the name, but maybe
OnToMars: Curious my father is Mischling and from Danzig Germany
OnToMars: left Germany in 1936
OnToMars: feared the NAZIs

Bossi: isnt always a mistake
Shular: ended up losing by less than 500
Round 1 of 12
Shular: hey
Shular: I didn't press button :-(
Bossi: maybe its a high..?
Bossi: 1:44... ;-)
Shular: sometimes, if I'm last to hit from summary screen it gives me first plot
Bossi: wrong 4:44
OnToMars: ooh math, good
Bossi: sounds like a lag
OnToMars: shular make sure you shut down all your extra PC programsn
Shular: like explorer? I like to keep the mule website open

Bossi: ehhh
logen: coul be very tough to beat mars, now that he has his foot in the door...
Bossi: empty plots...
Bossi: they dont make money
Shular: I know I don't have a chance
logen: yeah, but plenty of time, he doesn't need to develop them until turn 10 or 11
Shular: behind everyone in plots now, and unlikely to win auction
OnToMars: it aint over, but i am far from being a threat...but thanks
Shular: well, maybe I might get an auction
logen: Your lack of money helps, but that could be solved by you, if you find a buyer for your old computer :)

Bossi: @ logan: we were both at the same amount of money... ;-)
logen: Makes no sense, ore should already be soo high...
Bossi: ore is the price i paid
OnToMars: well done
Bossi: you have two plots... :)
Bossi: burning took time because of my plot at the exit... :(
Bossi: open plots ;-)
OnToMars: should of sold me one
Round 11 of 12
Shular: why?
logen: why?
Bossi: spiking...
OnToMars: jacks the market
Shular: spiking price doesn't help me in the slightest
OnToMars: for you...yes it does
Shular: I spike the price, everyone just produces food
Shular: and since my plots are the hardest to reach, I change fewest
logen: Another fire maybe?
OnToMars: if i am lucky
Bossi: dont think so
OnToMars: but i do not believe in luck
Bossi: 6k
Bossi: hmmm
logen: no need to panic
logen: already only 3 k including your tite of this rd
logen: all you need is high tite
Bossi: jup - IF tite is 100 next round
Round 12 of 12
Bossi: gg
Shular: gonna try that move. never used it, but may as well start practicing
logen: yeah, gga
logen: Never spend enough time on training this
Bossi: hitting store when crossing river?
logen: You sure need to practise in bot games
logen: I loose time trying to do it
Bossi: just push up then down - dont wait for the window - it works or not - looking if it works negates the advantage
Shular: problem is sometimes my direction movement gets stuck
logen: grats bossi
Shular: it's not the keys getting stuck, because it doesn't happen with anything else
OnToMars: bossi did well
Shular: grats bossi, and gge
