DanHomerick: What land type did Cato get?

DanHomerick: Good for... ?

happysin: energy

cato: oops

cato: I assume energy is the lightining bolt

happysin: yah

happysin: Cato, you're gonna get mad cash, so it balances.

cato: do I need to buy another mule to put energy on it?

cato: can you have two types?

happysin: once you get another spot, yah

happysin: each type has one

cato: hmmm... thanks

cato: curses!

DanHomerick: Oh noes!!! We'll run out of mules!!!

happysin: ooh, good price!

zezzene: chill out we'll be fine

DanHomerick: =)

zezzene: the market always makes it balance

DanHomerick: Ru ro

DanHomerick: Oh noes! We'll run out of mules!!!

zezzene: don't worry ill make sure of that

DanHomerick: Heh

happysin: Nicely done

DanHomerick: Supersize me!

zezzene: cmon

zezzene: are you serious

happysin: I'd rather rot. ;)

zezzene: fine fuck you

DanHomerick: Need a LIITLE money for the effort.

happysin: says the man who will be a mule monopolist. :D

zezzene: you all had a surplus

zezzene: the supply outweighed the demand

Round 3

DanHomerick: Hmm. May not have enough mules to develop it. =(

happysin: Cato, you don't lose mules, you can repurpose them. :)

happysin: good timeing

DanHomerick: Not so bad, even without food.

happysin: oh noes, my minerals!

cato: thanks

zezzene: yes

zezzene: im rollin in dough

happysin: What am I to sell to the Zezz monopoly now!

DanHomerick: <gulp>

happysin: I have been hit by aliens soooo many times, that gameplay takes balls

DanHomerick: Need some cash. Not gonna charge major, but at least a LITTLE to recoup costs.

zezzene: sell some to the market

DanHomerick: At 10 each? Is there any way to make the market up the price?

Round 4

happysin: don't sell

DanHomerick: Heh

DanHomerick: Don't wa

happysin: amusing bug

happysin: I assume that is fixed in 1.1?

DanHomerick: He plays mean...

zezzene: you guys are in the pooper

happysin: Well, you did bug exploit, but I won't hold it agianst yah. ;)

zezzene: whats the bug

DanHomerick: Don't remember the original for sure, but I think that strategy was in it.

happysin: You upped the money for the site to more than we could pay, and then abandoned the auction. The price is supposed to automatically go down to where we can buy

zezzene: oh

zezzene: i didn't know that

zezzene: i was just being an ass

DanHomerick: Heh

zezzene: just because i could

happysin: heh, no worries.

happysin: this is a game about being an ass, after all. :D

DanHomerick: True. =)

zezzene: well it depends on how cutthroat you want to play

DanHomerick: While claiming to be a saint.. =)

cato: how manu rounds does the game last?

cato: many

happysin: 12

zezzene: 12

cato: dang. I think I have to bail. guys

cato: sorry

cato left the game

Computer takes over cato

zezzene: its kool

DanHomerick: No worries.

happysin: see yah

DanHomerick: Hmph. So much for playing energy tycoon

zezzene: that usually doesn't work

zezzene: i have tried that

zezzene: and from experience it doesn't work that well

zezzene: smithore is the way to go

Round 5

DanHomerick: Looks it.

happysin: Food bastard can work if you try.

happysin: ROFL

DanHomerick: Leave a couple mules and the store will still be dry by the next round.

zezzene: but other people usually invest in food enough that you can't have a monopoly

zezzene: crystite can be worth alot or jack shit

zezzene: so sithore is the only stable invest ment

zezzene: it is worth at least 45 every time

zezzene: well same with crystite but you have more power with ore

zezzene: because if you don't sell

zezzene: mules will go out

DanHomerick: Computer gives his brother a hand out. How typical.

happysin: With food, the goal is to take all river if you can, and then take as much plains as possible. If you do it right, energy players will completely fall for it.

happysin: the one isue I see with minerals is if everyone tries it, you all might be screwed.

happysin: lol supplies

DanHomerick: Now energy will still be priced at 10...

DanHomerick: I'll turn pirate myself!

DanHomerick: I'm totally in the wrong business.

happysin: heh

DanHomerick: Whoo hoo! Mind if I milk you for all you got, Happy?

zezzene: dont sell

zezzene: just dont do it

happysin: sell

zezzene: they are screwed if you don't

happysin: lo9ls

DanHomerick: That wasn't much milking. =(

happysin: ah wlel, I have enough food to not die...

Round 6

DanHomerick: '

DanHomerick: AFK for a moment.

DanHomerick: Just kidding..

happysin: dont sell!

happysin: ;)

Round 7

happysin: lols

DanHomerick: Hmm. Ya. They should change that, bug or not.

DanHomerick: Cato <AI>, you prick. =P

happysin: lols

happysin: dind't realize timer went down whn you were payi9ng

Round 8

happysin: ? My screen showed me top biddeer

happysin: biddeer even

happysin: bidder

DanHomerick: Odd. Mine showed Zezz.

DanHomerick: That's a genuine bug, I imagine.

happysin: what a great time to have mor energy farms

zezzene: i got my shit together

DanHomerick: heh

Round 9

zezzene: ok

zezzene: let work together now

zezzene: make a good colony

happysin: oh WTF

zezzene: that sucks

zezzene: that shit is mine next turn

zezzene: MINE

DanHomerick: Cause you're just too FAR AHEAD! =)

zezzene: i just want it to make my farms more productive

happysin: tht's not a mine, it's a plains!

zezzene: two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff

zezzene: ba dum, ching!

DanHomerick: Guess Cato will get another Crystallite rich plot he won't use.

zezzene: yeah comp always gets it

DanHomerick: Last place always gets it. Same thing, really. =)

zezzene: no the computer just knows exactly when the marker is on the plot

zezzene: and can click it the very instant it is available

zezzene: same with the wampus

zezzene: it can get it everytime

DanHomerick: damnit

zezzene: green what are you doing?

DanHomerick: Go ahead, buy all 20

happysin: being a 'tard

zezzene: ok

zezzene: thats a reasonable explanation

Round 10

zezzene: of course

DanHomerick: Pretty sure it's the last place aspect.

zezzene: its whoever clicks it first

zezzene: and of course the computer has the fastest click

zezzene: it just makes sense that way

zezzene: i have seen people in last place not get it

DanHomerick: Oh, I didn't realize it doesn't show the assay results to everyone else.

happysin: Dan, it will say it to everyone, but the buyer of the assay is the only one that sees the permanent sign

DanHomerick: I guess I missed the message? I didn't see it at all.

zezzene: oh snap

happysin: I went back inside right away, and that clears out the message

zezzene: yhup

DanHomerick: Ahh

happysin: ROFL, game wouldn't let me move...

zezzene: nice purp

happysin: we haven't hit aliens taking stuff yet

zezzene: space pirates!

DanHomerick: Where do I sign up?

zezzene: lol

DanHomerick: I don't think it lag compensates. Anyone ever able to beat the host off the line for an auction?

zezzene: no

zezzene: the comp can

Round 11

happysin: cheapskates

zezzene: jk

DanHomerick: This late in the game, just not worth much.

happysin: more stuff!

happysin: I figured Zezz would take it just to have it

zezzene: nah

zezzene: its not connected to the rest of my land

zezzene: worthless

DanHomerick: Low

happysin: crystals don't play by ajacent rules, so it could still have had value

zezzene: gp\

DanHomerick: 89 in stock at the start, and the price still isn't bottomed out.

DanHomerick: At an hour and half (without being able to step away for long), this isn't a game that my wife is going to let me play often.

zezzene: oh jeez

zezzene: its fun though

happysin: the revised version theyh are working on is supposed to cut down time

DanHomerick: Ya

Round 12

DanHomerick: Really appreciate the award, fellas.

happysin: award?

happysin: oh, heh

happysin: don't mind me, barely awake.

zezzene: same

zezzene: good game you guys

zezzene: we might have a cushy colony

happysin: indeed, GG.

DanHomerick: Learned a lot at any rate. =)

happysin: zezxz has reminded me how important "asshole rules" are to economy games. :D

DanHomerick: Oh noes! Were going to run out of mules!!!

zezzene: yeah. . .right

zezzene: watch this

zezzene: my asset score will shoot through the roof

zezzene: you have no clue

zezzene: i hang on to my goods at the end of the game

happysin: hmm, indeed?

zezzene: for exactly this reason

zezzene: cash<assets in terms of your final score

happysin: is it really a gain over the cash, though?

happysin: ah, there we go

zezzene: i have observed that

zezzene: its not a fact but i have noticed that it works

DanHomerick: If this thing was open source, we'd have ALL the answers.

zezzene: our store is well stocked

zezzene: we all have mad cash

zezzene: it was a nice planet

zezzene: aww shit

zezzene: minimum standards?

happysin: boo

zezzene: thats bull

happysin: I blam AI

DanHomerick: Always a safe bet. =)

zezzene: well. . . he wasn't in last

zezzene: but yeah

zezzene: good game

happysin: I think I might sleep now

DanHomerick: Hush how

zezzene: thanks for my first ever win!!1

DanHomerick: Thanks all. Was fun.

happysin: welcome.
