Cyber Ranger: b/c that's what you created your acct as...

hipscumbag: ahh

hipscumbag: i'm interested in MULE because it's so different from other vg strat games

hipscumbag: Soren "Civ 4" Johnson is making a mule-inspired RTS

Cyber Ranger: you had a choice, unless you just skipped-thru the process...

hipscumbag: it was ages ago cyber, be nice

Cyber Ranger: No disrespect intended - just being direct

hipscumbag: i probably thought pumpkin guy looked funny & unassuming, i guess

Cyber Ranger: He does move kinda funky...

hipscumbag: i've called my noob friend, he'll be our 4th

hipscumbag: he's played some botmatches & that 2p before

Round 8 of 12

dracohouston: omg hit too soon hahah

callmemik: there are only 4 highs

callmemik: always

hipscumbag: our little colony is now just a crystite factory for the earthlings :(

Cyber Ranger: As it says in the joining msg

Cyber Ranger: Sub-contractors, working for the "man"...

hipscumbag: seems like it'd be nice if other resources were more valuable in later game

hipscumbag: power certainly important, but eventually players have all the mules they need...

dracohouston: smithore easy to scale up though

hipscumbag: bot:prob

dracohouston: if you dont land on crystite sites enough

hipscumbag: yeah it's kind of the game to keep the price so high for you

dracohouston: hahaha

hipscumbag: oooooooooooh

dracohouston: ive been owned

Round 9 of 12

hipscumbag: steam sale [NOBUY]

hipscumbag: does this mean the wampus is extinct

callmemik: y

Cyber Ranger: y

hipscumbag: poor gentle,wealthy creature

callmemik: 0

hipscumbag: i don't know what the game means by "underground contours"

hipscumbag: is it just a simple radius?

callmemik: you mean tite?

hipscumbag: yeah

dracohouston: luckkkkkkky

hipscumbag: is it just that there's a "very high" surrounded by four "medium" surrounded by "low"

callmemik: a plot nex to a high as always a medium

Cyber Ranger: plots nxt to meteor not affected

callmemik: 2-plot distance from high is alow

hipscumbag: mike likes to keep us in suspense during prod round i guess

hipscumbag: ok so it is just a radius

dracohouston: my mighty smithore boner shrivels

hipscumbag: i don't see how the price could ever rise again

dracohouston: pay day

hipscumbag: pirate random event seems kinda stupid -- shouldn't be able to lose $3k on a roll of dic

hipscumbag: *snort*

Round 10 of 12

callmemik: draco saved my ass

hipscumbag: how's that

callmemik: he forgot to pick a plot :)

dracohouston: did i?

dracohouston: christ

dracohouston: colours too similar

hipscumbag: i just hamered furiously on space bar to try to avoid

callmemik: better keep it pressed

hipscumbag: good to know

hipscumbag: bot:probs

host4u: Event Probabilites: Pirates(18.20%) Pests(18.20%) Radiation(9.09%) Acid Rain(18.20%) Sunspot Activity(0%) Meteor Strike(9.09%) Earthquake(27.30%) Fire(0%)

dracohouston: im done for basically

hipscumbag: what is ranger doing?

callmemik: if two player press for the same plot it always gone to the one with lower rank in the game

hipscumbag: dumping mules to raise smithore price or something? seems odd.

hipscumbag: that seems... unsporting

callmemik: not odd, but it is too late for that

dracohouston: the games full of unsporting things

callmemik: very common strategy

hipscumbag: seems dani should have designed against that

dracohouston: christ how do 3 panels make 4 power, yeah i know it has a random modifier but holy lo

Cyber Ranger: I hate partner games

hipscumbag: draco is so decisively behind i see no harm in selling to him,cyber :)

Round 11 of 12

dracohouston: yeah you guys locked me out of 2 turns i dont think im coming back

hipscumbag: that's not collusion, that's me making profit

Cyber Ranger: no, it's you giving away stuff - no profit in it...

hipscumbag: i guess i'll get what i deserve when everyone's 9 crystite factories makes them a heap of money despite dry plots

callmemik: pirates now/

callmemik: ?

hipscumbag: i'd like that.

callmemik: likely

dracohouston: wouldnt he lose power to spoilage anyway?

hipscumbag: yeah, i think draco is far enough behind me i should pocket the $300 or w/e instead of just letting it rot. if my crystite sitch were better i'd swap the power panels for crystite but..

dracohouston: yeah, dont do that ;)

hipscumbag: noice

hipscumbag: bot:probs

host4u: Event Probabilites: Pirates(20.00%) Pests(20.00%) Radiation(10.00%) Acid Rain(20.00%) Sunspot Activity(0%) Meteor Strike(10.00%) Earthquake(20.00%) Fire(0%)

Cyber Ranger: This is fucked...

Cyber Ranger: no more fucking noobs

hipscumbag: i don't see how this is our fault, cyber

callmemik: well, you knew the would not spike ore

callmemik: they

dracohouston: no mule demand now anyway

Cyber Ranger: you create it, idiot

callmemik: y, you can burn mules

callmemik: and free some plots

Cyber Ranger: and open plots...

hipscumbag: sounds like a failure of prisoners' dilemma

dracohouston: well good luck with that, i'll be looking forward to the pay day

callmemik: pure speculation:)

Round 12 of 12

callmemik: prisoner's dillema is always a failure btw

hipscumbag: whoever breaks the price-fixing makes all the money & everyone else gets nothing

hipscumbag: so nash equilibrium is that everyone sells rather than get cuaght holding the bag

Cyber Ranger: ...sounds like a liberal democrat speaking...

hipscumbag: or a game theorist ;-)

Cyber Ranger: yep, just like an engineer...

hipscumbag: this game is neat but i might not bother playin it again

hipscumbag: high hopes for Offworld Trading Company tho

callmemik: c'mon, it is just great
