bobc455: I'm used to the old joysticks
Bullet: oh wow
Bullet: i played as a kid, but used the keyboard
Bullet: and i've played it multiple times here
bobc455: I didn't know you could use the keyboard
Bullet: i think so
bobc455: we just plugged in 4 joysticks
Bullet: i was about 10 at the time
bobc455: I can't figure out this port fowrading thing at all
Bullet: yeah, i don't know about that
bobc455: I thought you had to if you are the host
Bullet: i just start a new game
Bullet: ready
bobc455: hmm
Round 2 of 6
Bullet: i have trouble joining games though
Bullet: usually if i start the game, it makes it through w/o disconnecting
Bullet: oh, they changed it
bobc455: You can't leave town without outfitting your mule
Bullet: yeah, wasn't like that until they updated it today
Bullet: i was gonna let mules out and up the smithore price
bobc455: You could outfit him with food
Bullet: oh yeah
Bullet: i guess i could release them before i outfit my last plot too
Round 3 of 6
Bullet: space bar
Bullet: top right
Bullet: you gotta be facing the mountain where he popped out
Bullet: and start hitting the space
Bullet: crap
bobc455: Oof
Bullet: moose has got the chrystite!
Bullet: facing up at the mountain
bobc455: Hmm
bobc455: okay
Bullet: only two plots of land!
Round 4 of 6
bobc455: expensive mules
Bullet: yeah
bobc455: Mmm swamp eels
bobc455: sorry, it's been a few years since I've played
bobc455: well decades actually
Bullet: understandable
Bullet: takes a few games
Bullet: you know what you're doing already
bobc455: 2nd game
bobc455: rats, lost a mule
bobc455: and a mountain
Bullet: i don't remember much, i don't think i really understood it when i was a kid
Bullet: but i've played a bunch of games on this
bobc455: we used to play this for hours and hours
bobc455: this is 99% the same which is cool
Bullet: yeah, they supposedly tried to keep it real close to the original

bobc455: forgot about those
Bullet: fire and pirates
Bullet: and earthquakes
bobc455: oh my
Bullet: ha
bobc455: sorry
Bullet: just watched a few mins of wizard of oz last night, actually
Round 6 of 6
bobc455: how come mechtrons never buy/sell last round?
Bullet: i dunno
Bullet: haven't figured that out
Bullet: why's he checking a river?
Bullet: you can't mine there
Bullet: i don't think
bobc455: you can, just does poorly
bobc455: besides I think christite is kinda random like that
bobc455: maybe its not built into his AI
Bullet: ah
Bullet: perhaps
Bullet: he'll make some seemingly stupid moves sometimes
Bullet: i haven't figure out if holding anything in the last round makes a difference
bobc455: I wish there was a way to know how the game valued the assets
Bullet: yeah
bobc455: well I will do like the mechtrons I guess... nothing
Bullet: land has a set value for assests
bobc455: right, 500 I think
Bullet: plain is worth one thing, 1 mtn is another
Bullet: or so i was told
bobc455: I thought all land was the same
Bullet: i dunno, i was told different, but that may be right
bobc455: I thought I read that somewhere today
bobc455: maybe I didn't read correctly
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
Bullet: nah, i haven't checked the forum since last week
bobc455: nice!
Bullet: so you might be right
bobc455: come from behind
Bullet: nice
bobc455: never done much better than minimum standards
Bullet: i haven't made it beyond "your life won't be easy"
bobc455: I haven't on this game
Bullet: although there's 2 or 3 stages above that
bobc455: in the old days, we did better
moose48fan left the game
bobc455: sometimes
moose48fan was disconnected
bobc455: well it was fun, thanks
Bullet: how do you make it higher?
bobc455: have the colony total be higher
Bullet: yep, i'll look out for you. keep playing!
bobc455: lots of chrystite
bobc455: I think
Bullet: ah
bobc455: but that's kinda hard
bobc455: actually I think if you team up you can do it
Bullet: yeah, i saw the pattern on one of the forums once
bobc455: one person focuses on food and energy
Bullet: yeah, guess you gotta go for the collective
bobc455: then another focuses on smithore and chrystite
bobc455: then just work together - exchange the food at a cheap price
Bullet: wanna do a six rounder again?
bobc455: yeah
bobc455: nah
bobc455: thanks though
Bullet: yeah, next time
bobc455: its very late for me!
bobc455: lol
bobc455: usually asleep by 8:30
Bullet: wow
Bullet: tonight's a friday for me
bobc455: me too
bobc455: but I'm pretty tired
bobc455: thanks again, it was fun
bobc455: seeya!
Bullet: alright bob, cya!
