BaronHelix: hi, may i?

bigheadzach: Sire!

bigheadzach: I mean, sure

BaronHelix joined the game in slot 2

krustovsky visits

krustovsky joined the game in slot 3

bigheadzach: cmon in

BaronHelix: No, sire is right. I will be king here shortly.

bigheadzach: lol

bigheadzach: methinks amx181 is a bit impatient and forgets this is still a work in progress...i've rarely had a game crash

bigheadzach: only IBM is expected to have programs that never need bugfixes

BaronHelix: hey krust. so the whole game went kablooey? Not just me?

krustovsky: my client just crashed suddenly

bigheadzach: games going kablooey usually are a result of something on the host's end, but I have no access to the code so I'm just guessing

fatamaus visits

fatamaus joined the game in slot 4

krustovsky: my ping is ultra high

bigheadzach: let's do this

bigheadzach: that could be a factor, krusty

bigheadzach: I need to check what got fixed in 1.1 for the FAQ, so I'm still good for moving on

Round 1 of 12

BaronHelix: change 1... you can't leave w/ a mule that is not trained :)

bigheadzach: meeting original spec

BaronHelix: yep. also, finally no negative events in 1st round. orange is safe

bigheadzach: that we have to trust got changed...it's stilla 27.5% chance

BaronHelix: we can press space to skip production phase

BaronHelix: or comps turn

krustovsky: doh!

BaronHelix: and my surprise (and fave) in market there is now a delay b/w choosing to selll/buy and to move in market

BaronHelix: so now last place player has edge even w/o twitch reflex

bigheadzach: that change will be evident later on in the game

bigheadzach: the crystite isn't at $48 :)

bigheadzach: Food spoils at 1:2

bigheadzach: Energy should now spoil at 1:4

BaronHelix: oh... wow

BaronHelix: did not see that

bigheadzach: So you can store 1 food and 3 energy between rounds and it won't spoil if it's not used

Round 2 of 12

bigheadzach: green - can you test a theory for me and try installing smithore on the river valley?

krustovsky: wont work

BaronHelix: green would have to train a smithore he can't use

BaronHelix: and it should be blocked according to the post

bigheadzach: If someone tried it already, that's fine. It was one of the things that was changed.

bigheadzach: Outfitting costs are refunded if you change them, actually, so all it would have cost him is time

bigheadzach: Need some help, fatamaus?

Warning: Game is not synchronized with fatamaus

bigheadzach: shortcut production yay!

bigheadzach: Uh oh, desync...

bigheadzach: I think he might have ragequit

bigheadzach: Just a guess

bigheadzach: Ok, with 7 or less MULEs, Fatamaus should go first in development

Round 3 of 12

bigheadzach: Krusty, it's yours if you want it

krustovsky: not that you had a choice :)

bigheadzach: lol

BaronHelix: ewwwwwwww

bigheadzach: 2nd place is where both good and bad events happen to you

bigheadzach: Uh, yay?

BaronHelix: especially w/ mules at a premium now

bigheadzach: Got assure myself a MULE

bigheadzach: We should have 7 next round

Round 4 of 12

bigheadzach: well played sir

BaronHelix: teach you to hold back on $20 :)

bigheadzach: he's wigging out...

BaronHelix: the hell?

bigheadzach: desync?

bigheadzach: Question mark...nice touch!

BaronHelix: bleah

Connection to fatamaus timed out

Timed out users must be kicked to continue the game

Computer takes over fatamaus

fatamaus was kicked

krustovsky: again and again and again

bigheadzach: If your connection can't be trusted...that's a shame

BaronHelix: you are NOT purple

bigheadzach: Also, lucky finding that High plot

BaronHelix: whew. almost did it again krust :P

BaronHelix: #&(#&*(^

krustovsky: im too colorblind for this game :)

bigheadzach: Which colors are most difficult for color blind people? orange-green?

krustovsky: all of them when you're eyes are already tired :)

krustovsky: run a.i. run !

bigheadzach: AI tries to get to the line when it can't afford base price, still.

krustovsky: that's exactly what i hate about the ai ...

Round 5 of 12

bigheadzach: lol

bigheadzach: I almost don't want to install a MULE this turn...

BaronHelix: glad i made a 2nd

bigheadzach: We should be good for a while :)

bigheadzach: I'll gladly sell for $164 to you Baron :)

Round 6 of 12

bigheadzach: *sigh*

BaronHelix: one thing they did not fix :(

bigheadzach: oh, glad that was for testing purposes and not douchebaggery :)

BaronHelix: little from colemn A, little from column B :)

bigheadzach: WHORES

BaronHelix: heh

bigheadzach: whateva, price is gonna go down more

BaronHelix: hey. valuable. you guys should sell :P

BaronHelix: ooooooh. pirates.

BaronHelix: :) :P

Round 7 of 12

bigheadzach: Checked that one in Round 1 ;)

krustovsky: hit me baby

bigheadzach: I can't sell the last unit?

krustovsky: what the hell

bigheadzach: Coin flip

krustovsky: i was buying and my energy got negative????

bigheadzach: If you sold to crit level and then sold again, you can

Round 8 of 12

krustovsky: i was on buying

bigheadzach: *shrug*

bigheadzach: there was some amount of weirdness in the last auction - did you all see I couldn't sell my last Crystite, or did you see something different than me?

BaronHelix: no. and i've seen it happen once before

krustovsky: on my monitor you were running off the bottom of the screen

bigheadzach: Ahhh. I'll link it to that issue

krustovsky: and i bought energy and lost all my onits

BaronHelix: uh oh

bigheadzach: and now I think the time bar is frozen

krustovsky: crash

krustovsky: ???

bigheadzach: That's my guess but I'm host - I'll give it a minute or two to correct

BaronHelix: krust, did you get a warning? when it happened to me last game, i did

krustovsky: no, the game is just frozen

bigheadzach: I haven't received a warning yet...I would like to have the option to show the debug log if it doesn't let me cheat

bigheadzach: But the devs are the ones who can pull that, so it's not important to us except for awareness :P

krustovsky: you can view the logs of the game online

bigheadzach: Ok, I'm calling it. Go ahead and disconnect if you wish.

krustovsky: is everyone elses client frozen too?

BaronHelix: i can interact. dunno

bigheadzach: the chat works still, but the rest of it is Krusty's gollumer standing in the middle of town, time bar isn't draining.

krustovsky: i see your gollumer in the middle of the shop and nothing is moving

bigheadzach: He's dressed in orange for you?

krustovsky: you are orange, so yes

BaronHelix: i see green. i think it is krust who is timed out

bigheadzach: So there's some fatal desync between green and orange - looks like green never saw me take a turn

krustovsky: ok i disconnect tell me in main chat if your game continued.

krustovsky left the game

Computer takes over krustovsky

BaronHelix: yep

bigheadzach: Now it's heads-up poker ;)

bigheadzach: and there's your price bump :P

BaronHelix: coming

BaronHelix: not yet

BaronHelix: running out of cash to keep holding it off

BaronHelix: better go over 124 next month or i lose out

BaronHelix: should though

bigheadzach: The only way it wouldn't is if demand were to drop

bigheadzach: Somehow I lost my energy :P

BaronHelix: bad market fire

Round 9 of 12

BaronHelix: wow

bigheadzach: Hmm, misjudgement of time

BaronHelix: not that. he ate up all the mules

bigheadzach: Oh, he was going to run off that last one

BaronHelix: for the first time yesterday, i saw a comp mis-place a mule and it ran off the board

BaronHelix: grrrr

BaronHelix: ch-ching!

bigheadzach: I have to re-assure myself that fires don't happen every game

bigheadzach: But it's definitely better than when pirates were two additional chances to cause a smithore shortage

Round 10 of 12

bigheadzach: Hmm, I still question the buzz-in priority

bigheadzach: I could have claimed that first plot

BaronHelix: did you hold down the spacebar?

BaronHelix: now, if you just want any plot, you can hold it down

bigheadzach: No, but that shouldn't matter.

bigheadzach: If I buzz in on a plot and I'm furthest behind, I should get it

BaronHelix: sure it would. lower tiers get priority on ties, but i was holding down from 0.0 seconds, so not a tie

BaronHelix: if you were too, then you would have beat me

bigheadzach: But the intent isn't to reward the person with the fastest time, it's to give it to the most-needing person when the cursor is over that space

BaronHelix: yes and no. if you tie, you win. but if you don't try.....

bigheadzach: I did try. I hit the button when that cursor was over that space. What you're talking about it just not having to wait for the cursor to appear in order to buzz in

BaronHelix: true. but when only 3 plots, everyone should know that.

BaronHelix: thus, all hold button down, and i get aced out of a plot

bigheadzach: I'll atempt that next time

BaronHelix: wow. GE over there

Round 11 of 12

bigheadzach: *nod*

BaronHelix: bah

BaronHelix: it was a good try :)

bigheadzach: cheap energy, thanks GE!

BaronHelix: you almost got 0 though

Round 12 of 12

BaronHelix: how are there 4 highs?

BaronHelix: or that medium on top row is abberation?

bigheadzach: There's always been 4 - but they aren't always on plots you can mine ;)

BaronHelix: ooooh. i thought it was 3 :)

bigheadzach: They still bloom out though

BaronHelix: nice catch up

bigheadzach: Smithore and Crystite you can sell in the end - food and energy you shouldn't

BaronHelix: this will be a good colony

BaronHelix: why not?

bigheadzach: Food and Energy are sold from the Store at -$15 current price

bigheadzach: Smithore is sold at current price, and Crystite as well

BaronHelix: so, 30 for energy instead of 10?

bigheadzach: Wait, got that backward, Store BUYS at -$15 for Food and Energy, but not for Smithore/Crystite

Game Over. Your progress has been saved.

bigheadzach: Yay comfy ending!

BaronHelix: so buy at 10, sell 45 means end of game worth 30?

bigheadzach: Would've been closer had I gotten one more smithore plot and been able to control the price (or go along with the embargo)

bigheadzach: Buy @ 10 means current price is $25

bigheadzach: For Food and Energy, store buys at -15 and sells at +30

bigheadzach: Smithore, store buys at current, sells at +30

bigheadzach: I'm not exactly sure, but it'll go in the FAQ

BaronHelix: gg

BaronHelix: bye

bigheadzach: cya

BaronHelix left the game
