arghman: well, chance comes into play
arghman: crystite should be interesting in 1.1
unrequited: i heard it was broken?
arghman: :p
arghman: all's fair... :-)
arghman: idk about crystite... in 1.0 it was different than the original
Round 3 of 12
unrequited: hah
Tetraptous: ack!
arghman: watch out for low food :/
Tetraptous: I'm new to this, if you couldn't guess :)
arghman: you seem pretty savvy

Round 5 of 12
arghman: looks like you can make a decent living farming / energy now!
arghman: whew
arghman: darnit forgot how many plots i had
unrequited: i don't like how other players can jump in if they're of lower status
unrequited: in the original a higher player could lock out if they engaged first
arghman: yup
unrequited: damned socialist aliens
arghman: ? who's socialist? :-)
unrequited: the planet for catering to lowest economic status
arghman: p.s. gershom: next time there's production, help us skip the wait!
unrequited: shoulda locked him out of energy
arghman: :p
arghman: i'll do that to people for food, not energy
Round 6 of 12
unrequited: same difference no production
arghman: nope, you just need food to put new mules out
arghman: haha the auction dance
unrequited: i mean you waste the entire guy's turn if they have no energy
unrequited: no production
arghman: yes
arghman: but not for food
arghman: he
arghman: heh
unrequited: nobody else can see my assay markers right? they can see if if they pay attention but not on the map afterwards?
arghman: yes that's correct
arghman: Gershom -- help us skip!!!!
arghman: f'ing pirates!!!!!
Round 7 of 12
arghman: too many auctions!!!!!!!!!!!
arghman: tetra: your 3 plots on the upper left all have 1 unit crystite each
Tetraptous: how do you know that?
arghman: b/c there are patterns in crystite
Tetraptous: I see!
arghman: a 3unit crystite plot is always surrounded by neighboring plots that have at least a 2unit yields
arghman: fine, be selfish. :p
unrequited: i'm hungry
Round 8 of 12
unrequited: hah
arghman: unreq: it's not necessary to assay that much, you can figure a lot of it out yourself
arghman: somebody tell gershom to press the btn during the production round
arghman: $34?!??!?!
unrequited: cha-ching
Tetraptous: damn!
arghman: yup
unrequited: you went negative gershom
arghman: don't think he's reading chat
unrequited: he still has a lot of plots without mules too heh
Round 9 of 12
arghman: see, you learn quick! :-)
Tetraptous: I try!
Tetraptous: do doot doot
arghman: you're short on energy b/c the energy forecast is based on only putting 1 new nonenergy mule
arghman: you put 2 of them
arghman: $56?!?!?!?!?!
Round 10 of 12
unrequited: ...
Tetraptous: ho hum
arghman: crystite rules!
arghman: i smell pirates though
Gershom: I check chat from time to time, but I play in full screen, no pirates
unrequited: already came
unrequited: once per game unless they changed that
arghman: they can do that more than once though :-(
arghman: at least in 1.0 that was true
Gershom: that would be nice to know if you're speculating on ore
arghman: thx! :-)
Warning: Game is not synchronized with Gershom

Gershom: gg
Gershom: I'll adapt my strategy
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
