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
