Round 2 of 12
Round 3 of 12
MrChips: WTH! Couldnt' select a plot!
zsteelersman: if you try to get a plot that someone else is trying to grab it gives you the plot in order of your ranking at the time
zsteelersman: if you are hitting the space button rapidly, that is not a good idea, instead hold it down
MrChips: I tapped it, an dwas the last one to get a plot, so there should have been no interference...
zsteelersman: also, you want to press the button when the square turns grey on the plot just before the plot you want
zsteelersman: in other words do not wait until it ishighighting the plot you want
zsteelersman: it turns from black to grey
MrChips: I see... live and learn, I guess...
zsteelersman: the black means pick it
zsteelersman: the grey means pick the next plot
Metahive: glad I bought the extra food :)
MrChips: More to come...
Round 4 of 12
Metahive: also low frame rate and lag can cause slow lag time on picking a plot
MrChips: Yeah... I tried early, but didn't get the one I wanted...
htman_2000: lol
MrChips: Bummer!
Metahive: what happened?
MrChips: Quake!
Metahive: oh thats normal
Round 5 of 12
MrChips: What is the purpose?
zsteelersman: i bought the land for 60 more dollars than meta has so that he could not buy a piece if it auctioned
zsteelersman: i sold land because if mo one buys a piece of land that you sell, the next auction starts ay half price
zsteelersman: of the first auction
zsteelersman: so if it was selling for 8--
MrChips: Weird
zsteelersman: it would go to 400
zsteelersman: 800
zsteelersman: however, meta got some extra cash and i had to prevent him from buying my plot
zsteelersman: so i had to go up and stop him from buying
Metahive: drops price and then buying for 80 more then my top cash puts the next plot out of range
zsteelersman: i knew i would have the most money though because i had cash and ore production
MrChips: I thought flappers started with $200 extra, too...
Metahive: not here
MrChips: So there has been some rule-bending, I see..
MrChips: Is the yo-yoing a trick, too?
zsteelersman: yes people run the price up so you cant sell to the store
Round 6 of 12
Metahive: ugg
Metahive: all 4 high tites have been got
Metahive: one you have on a river plot
MrChips: Didn't know there were only 4...
MrChips: WIsh I hadn't lost that plot...
zsteelersman: you need to make sure he pays more than $1030 for his plot or her will get two
zsteelersman: if there is an auction
zsteelersman: your best bet is to ake him pay $1600
MrChips: Couldn't go down! Was stuck in the chat bar... how aggrivating!
zsteelersman: he will buy it, but you dont give anyone land for cheapo or they will ewin
Metahive: carefull I might stick you with the plot to
RhoBot: Event Probabilites: Pirates(13.30%) Pests(13.30%) Radiation(6.67%) Acid Rain(13.30%) Sunspot Activity(13.30%) Meteor Strike(13.30%) Earthquake(13.30%) Fire(13.30%)
zsteelersman: he wil buy it

zsteelersman: or not
zsteelersman: lol
MrChips: Wish the game screen was a little larger... my aged eyes....
MrChips: SO no more wumpus hunting now, right?
Metahive: ya I killed it :)
MrChips: Too bad - would've then been EASY to catch 'em for everyone...
Metahive: no good for us, cause they can't get 300 each time
Metahive: they are short of cash so it good for us
zsteelersman: CRAPPPPPPPPPP
zsteelersman: CRAAAPPPPPPPPPP
MrChips: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

zsteelersman: wow i qould have been rich
Metahive: yup
Metahive: woops
Metahive: forgot
Round 8 of 12
zsteelersman: space
zsteelersman: bar
MrChips: How many units does the store need for MULE prices to drop?
MrChips: ALso, do you need to keep pulling down to continue selling to the store?
Metahive: depends on how many mules there are and empty plots
Round 9 of 12
MrChips: IS there a co-operative mode? THat'd be FUN! If so, I'd take food / energy production so everyone else could concentrate on mining...
Metahive: People have played games to boost coloney score...
MrChips: I throught we needed 50 or 60K to be considered 'sucessful' in the end...
Metahive: I was in a record breaking game but it was beat'n
MrChips: Are there stats for that kinda stuff?
Metahive: yes in the forum
Metahive: I also recomend looking up "flower of tite"
MrChips: So I should have waited...
zsteelersman: lol chips may win
MrChips: THat would be funny, since it's my first... but y'all w/ the Crystite will blow me away in round 11
Round 10 of 12
zsteelersman: nice mr chips
Metahive: good one
Metahive: made of for the lost plot
MrChips: Yeah... hope we reach 60K... I'd hate to live in a penal colony...
MrChips: WOO-HOO! That was close...
zsteelersman: better dude that was not a good play
zsteelersman: they are loaded with ore and i would have kept the price dwn and you played against me
zsteelersman: now they may spike ore
zsteelersman: rough play
MrChips: eh?
zsteelersman: if i sell ore to store it keeps price low
MrChips: Didn't think about that... sorry, d00d!
Metahive: I would of bought it all
Metahive: steel getting nasty now :)
Round 11 of 12
zsteelersman: meta did not have the money to buy it all
zsteelersman: i would have gotten some in the bank
zsteelersman: he made his money selling tiite
zsteelersman: but i am not mad
zsteelersman: i am just saying that those without ore
zsteelersman: work to keep price own
zsteelersman: if they are succesful in raising the proce we all pay
Metahive: I would of got most and then bought it out next time :)
MrChips: THat was a craptastic play..
MrChips: SO leave the store dry?
Metahive: not selling now way, not giving you an energy spike
