Round 1

Arnold: wow, slow selection

George: yeah

Retsyn: I saw this earlier tonight, I hope it's not my connection...

viridianether: oh selection isnt always that slow?

viridianether: i would imagine it woudl have to be for internet play

Retsyn: I think it's the only part of the game where latency really matters,

viridianether: shoudl we divide the resources in order to have higher production

viridianether: since three factories produce 1 more resource

Retsyn: I'm not used to looking at this as Coop...

viridianether: ok fine well play this monopoly style

Round 2

viridianether: lol

viridianether: classic

Round 3

Retsyn: aw...

viridianether: how come i somtimes see what peopel survey and other times not?

Retsyn: I wondered that. You mean the survey result printing below?

viridianether: yes

Retsyn: no idea.

Round 4

viridianether: lol

Retsyn: I need more subtle strategies...

viridianether: no you just need to diversify.... teh food monoply ends as soon as there is another supplier or two peopel becom self suffieicent

Retsyn: I'd call that more subtle.

Retsyn: it often means a landslide victory against the poor AIs.

Retsyn: this is my first round with people.

viridianether: me too

Round 5

viridianether: wow we have talented mules

Retsyn: maybe the lack of a message during the assay happens when there is no crystite at all.

George: yeah

Retsyn: I should invite you all over to eat this bloody food.

Round 6

viridianether: nice

Retsyn: Woah, I never thought of that.

viridianether: dammit i didnt mean to make a crystite mine

George: Hold out

Round 7

viridianether: if you have smithore stores do they get stolen as well?

Retsyn: yep

Round 8

viridianether: aww couldnt it have been one of his mian areas

Retsyn: Man I've never seen it played like this before.

George: It's different

viridianether: how do you mean?

Retsyn: could be because the last time I played was on a NES when I was 12.

George: Smithore doesn't spoil

Retsyn: I just discovered this version yesterday.

viridianether: it didnt spoil

viridianether: lol

Retsyn: desperation.

viridianether: that is the highest i have ever seeen paid for energy

Round 9

Retsyn: Might not have been smart. Can't think of how to salvage this round for myself though...

viridianether: i knew that was coming

Retsyn: oops

Retsyn: that didn't go as planned.

viridianether: yorue telling me

Retsyn: looks like another dinner at my place.

Round 10

viridianether: :P

viridianether: ok wait purple did NOT have enough energy why didnt his structure go low energy?

George: Was only 1 short

viridianether: fuck!

Retsyn: As the losing player, I think that was great.

Round 11

viridianether: dammit that last one was a killer

George: I lost 2 mules

viridianether: i lost 10k in assets

George: Yeah but I had 2 mules just disapear top left

viridianether: oooooh

Retsyn: No animation?

George: No nothing there just gone

viridianether: only fair ;)

Retsyn: It'd be mighty upsetting if he weren't solidly winning.

George: Just weird

George: Bug or something

Retsyn: There's no normal event where you could use two, right?

George: No

viridianether: lose i think he meant

Retsyn: Yeah, that's what I meant.

George: Yeah that's what I understood

viridianether: i think they are still producing

George: Looks that way

George: DO you guys see the plats as empty?

Retsyn: Yes.

viridianether: yes

George: Weird

Retsyn: you could test it last round, see if you can pick up the mule and put it back.

George: Yeah

Round 12

Retsyn: looking for ghost mules

Retsyn: No dice...

viridianether: nipe

Retsyn: can you put a new one there?

viridianether: and yet i swear they must be producing

Retsyn: ...and will it produce double?

George: Maybe

Retsyn: I don't think it would though, if I'm guessing right about how it's coded.

George: Yeah looked like it

George: Count the smithore that is visable in production

George: COunted around 40

Retsyn: in the end game, you figure assets > money?

George: yeah

viridianether: taking a gamble on that myself

George: actual it's about even

viridianether: well its liek teh real market last traded price?

George: Yeah

viridianether: so all that i bought worthless

Retsyn: seems designed that way so you can't do what you just did.

Retsyn: or what I just did with my seven food. :(

George: Well since Smithore doesn't spoil if you have enough money you can manipulate the market

Retsyn: I'd be too scared of the pirates.

George: Yeah

Retsyn: Good game. I learned a lot more about how to play.

viridianether: do we disconnect now?

Arnold left the game

George: Yeah if you don't want to chat

Arnold was disconnected

viridianether left the game

Retsyn: if it was 3:55am here, I'd play another round.

viridianether was disconnected

Retsyn: thanks, cheers.

Retsyn left the game
