fredcadete: aaahh
neomorph: nice
fredcadete: what thing do I need to put to work well on mountains?
CmdrDeadman: probably the mineral one
CmdrDeadman: cost 100
BaronHelix: see how i went up to the box in town above before leaving?
CmdrDeadman: but i am a noob too
BaronHelix: that tells it what to make
fredcadete: yeah baron
fredcadete: learnt from seeing :)
neomorph: that sucks
BaronHelix: wow, this is not going to be good
CmdrDeadman: what happened to my stuff :(
BaronHelix: the mule ran off before it worked :(
CmdrDeadman: stupid mule
CmdrDeadman: lol
neomorph: you want to sell ore
BaronHelix: yeah, but not at that price
BaronHelix: pirates may steal it, but i will gamble
BaronHelix: get food
CmdrDeadman: none left
BaronHelix: oooooh. deadman overbought
BaronHelix: not nice
neomorph: oops
fredcadete: what are we doing here?
neomorph: buying and selling
BaronHelix: buy and sell the goods you make
neomorph: buyers at bottom
neomorph: sellers at top
CmdrDeadman: its an auction
fredcadete: hmm
BaronHelix: short on food = less time in next round
CmdrDeadman: you meet at the price you want pay
BaronHelix: short on enrgy means
BaronHelix: that your mules won't work
fredcadete: and the sale is when lines meet?
CmdrDeadman: whats short on food
neomorph: less time on your turn
BaronHelix: 1 energy per mule working (except energy ones which self-supply)
CmdrDeadman: ohhhh
CmdrDeadman: that sucks
CmdrDeadman: i'm -3
BaronHelix: no -3 for food
neomorph: space
BaronHelix: no time to play next round
CmdrDeadman: yeah
Round 2
CmdrDeadman: sucks
fredcadete: whats the gravel plot?
neomorph: desert
fredcadete: and the empties?
neomorph: desert good for energy
neomorph: plains
fredcadete: for food right?
fredcadete: and the valley?
neomorph: river
neomorph: good for food
fredcadete: sorry if I'm being annoying
neomorph: np
CmdrDeadman: i think 3 of us
neomorph: gj
CmdrDeadman: haven't played a tournament game yet
BaronHelix: river 4 for food,2 energy no mining
BaronHelix: plains 2/4/1
neomorph: lucky
fredcadete: money
BaronHelix: mntns are 2 3 or 4 for mining depending on how many mnths. 1 for food or energy
CmdrDeadman: ugh my directions were set up wrong
CmdrDeadman: that messed me up first turn too
CmdrDeadman: i thought i fixed it
neomorph: oh
BaronHelix: crystite is "gold". it has a hidden value that needs to be found.
BaronHelix: oh fred. you needed to hit space to put the mule in location once trained
fredcadete: yeah
BaronHelix: thought you knew b/c you were letting them go before
fredcadete: I was afraid it woul go away as the other time that's what happened, but it was because the mule was empty before
fredcadete: wont happen next time i hope
CmdrDeadman: so i guess i didn't pick a good square for the crystals thing
BaronHelix: they range 0-3
neomorph: normally you assay first
CmdrDeadman: i see
BaronHelix: 4 if a meteor crashes
BaronHelix: if a space is really good, the spaces around it will have some too
BaronHelix: 3 high value spaces in the board secretly hidden
BaronHelix: i sold cheap to help out :)
fredcadete: thanks :)
fredcadete: funny auction system
BaronHelix: oh, one weird thing about energy "needs"
Round 3
BaronHelix: the value it says you need is what you have on the board +1 for growth
fredcadete: woohooo
fredcadete: didnt mess up :D
BaronHelix: so, if not putting down a new mule or putting in energy you can mentally subtract one from the need it tells you
CmdrDeadman: you didn't use your other land though...
fredcadete: can I put more than one mule?
fredcadete: damn....
BaronHelix: wrong color
fredcadete: it's the cold that's making me stupid
CmdrDeadman: only 1 mule left!
CmdrDeadman: omg
BaronHelix: i wanted the plot you did get though
fredcadete: the mules dont replenish?
BaronHelix: errr, deadman got I mean
neomorph: so, I messed up again
BaronHelix: they do. w/ smithore in supply. as i don't sell, the mules run out/get expensive. but ore value rises :)
BaronHelix: ?
CmdrDeadman: oops
neomorph: lol
CmdrDeadman: lol
BaronHelix: oy
fredcadete: damn space gipsy inlaws
neomorph: lol
fredcadete: do you have to press space to catch the walpus?
neomorph: yes
BaronHelix: you do
neomorph: nice
BaronHelix: sweet. $ time :)
CmdrDeadman: you win by having the most money at the end?
BaronHelix: neo pull down to sell
BaronHelix: most expensive it will get
fredcadete: whats ore for?
BaronHelix: win w/ most $ plus value in land and mules
BaronHelix: sell
BaronHelix: crystite is worth 50-150 randomly a turn
BaronHelix: over 100, holding is a big gamble
BaronHelix: b/c pirates can be the event for a month
BaronHelix: they take all smithore and crystite from store and players
CmdrDeadman: this is only a 6 round game
CmdrDeadman: fyi
BaronHelix: ahhhhh. missed that. thanks
BaronHelix: remember fred, if you build energy, you won't be short next turn
fredcadete: y
fredcadete: thats the plan this round :)
CmdrDeadman: press space fred
Round 4
fredcadete: soz
CmdrDeadman: np
CmdrDeadman: i'm a noob too obviously
CmdrDeadman: so much for the plan
neomorph: upper left
CmdrDeadman: he shows himself
BaronHelix: and it is never in claimed mntns. only open ones
neomorph: did he just lost 50 dollars?
BaronHelix: ???
CmdrDeadman: probably
neomorph: going to two modules
CmdrDeadman: i bought the wrong one
neomorph: I know
neomorph: just wondering if you got your money back
BaronHelix: awww crud. i put energyu (not mining) in upper left
CmdrDeadman: ugh
BaronHelix: and now it didn't matter. production would have been lost
neomorph: you can move your mule
BaronHelix: yep
BaronHelix: going to the plot and hitting space picks it back up for relocation or retraining or selling back
BaronHelix: fred, BUY
fredcadete: cant
BaronHelix: move up
fredcadete: if I do dont have moneu
fredcadete: need 150$
BaronHelix: no energy means you produce zero to make zero $ later
Round 5
fredcadete: damn...
fredcadete: I'll have to find the little bugger then
CmdrDeadman: you just missed it
neomorph: only unclaimed
BaronHelix: not in owned mntns]
fredcadete: lol
neomorph: gj
fredcadete: I'm a bit on the low end of capitalism here....
BaronHelix: aw crud
CmdrDeadman: hehe
BaronHelix: BUY ENRGY fred
fredcadete: wil do
BaronHelix: you could have had food to sell this turn
fredcadete: thanks
BaronHelix: np
Round 6
CmdrDeadman: don't take the last wumpus square!
CmdrDeadman: yay
fredcadete: glad you told me that!
fredcadete: I was going to take it :P
CmdrDeadman: why?!
CmdrDeadman: why wumpus why
neomorph: too low
fredcadete: he was shy
BaronHelix: colony masters will not be happy :(
CmdrDeadman: lol
fredcadete: they will put me in exhile
BaronHelix: 230 is the most smithore can be worth. don't buy at that price
CmdrDeadman: is there a good guide for finding this stuff out?
BaronHelix: planetmule site is pretty good. and the forums
CmdrDeadman: yeah, that is what i was using for now
CmdrDeadman: this is the last turn
CmdrDeadman: should you always just sell everything on the last turn?
BaronHelix: doesn't matter. you get same value in goods
CmdrDeadman: okay
BaronHelix: i do it cause i like the big $ value :)
CmdrDeadman: i'm gonna make another
BaronHelix: ok, i'm in
fredcadete: I'm gonna go to sleep
fredcadete: have fun
neomorph: gg
BaronHelix: should be interesting this time
