Bullet: gotta hit the space bar, facing north, on where you last saw the wampus

britmarwell: oh

zposse: i was confused when i first played this version too, in other versions you just walk over the wampus

Bullet: yeah, i think they changed that

britmarwell: why?

Bullet: i dunno

Bullet: if you have 0 food, you have full time on your next turn

Bullet: if you have negative food, u have less time on your next turn

britmarwell: really?

britmarwell: cool

britmarwell: i'm last :D

zposse: food = time, energy = production, smithore = produces mules

Bullet: yep, try to stay at 0 for food, and +1 at energy

Round 3 of 9

Bullet: damn, keep forgetting what color i am

Bullet: keep thinking i'm brown

britmarwell: i keep thinking i'm green

zposse: if you're last, it is more likely that good random events will happen to you

britmarwell: cool

Bullet: and if you're first, bad random events will happen

britmarwell: and that is not cool

Bullet: where's everyone at?

Bullet: i always find that interesting

zposse: cali, usa

Bullet: nc, usa

britmarwell: shesh menes, first your child is bitten, then you bet money and lose tsk tsk

britmarwell: middle USA

Bullet: lots of americans

britmarwell: because we're the home of the free and the braaaaaave

Bullet: oooh, pirates

Bullet: robbing the usa

britmarwell: soldiers attack, grrr i hit the bar again!

zposse: smithore prices at the market go up when there are not a lot of mules left

Bullet: yep

britmarwell: good

zposse: every round, 2 smithore from the store gets used to create 1 new mule

britmarwell: only one?

zposse: every 2 smithore i m ean

Bullet: one for every 2 smithore

zposse: the store has 21 smithore right now

britmarwell: oh

zposse: so next turn it will have 10 more mules

Bullet: so there'll be 10 extra mules next round

Round 4 of 9

Bullet: jinx

britmarwell: pinch poke you both owe me a coke

zposse: ah too bad

britmarwell: :P

Bullet: that sux

zposse: ?

Bullet: ur putting it on the wrong color

britmarwell: did her mule just run away?

zposse: i was wondering why he was doing that

MenesCCIV: brain fart

zposse: actually, you can do that if you want to cause the price of smithore to go up

Bullet: it's hard to keep up with the colors

zposse: or if you don't want to be first next round :P

Bullet: yep, release the mules, smithore skyrockets!

britmarwell: hmmmm

zposse: i guess there is a bug?

britmarwell: its flashing menes

Bullet: yeah, there's lots of bugs

Bullet: sometimes you have to wait

Bullet: sometimes, it's done

Bullet: so it's menes on other's screens?

zposse: it's menes on my screen

MenesCCIV: but you're host

Bullet: true

Bullet: i might have to try to kick someone

britmarwell: it's supposed to be zposse though wasn't it?

zposse: not if there are not that many mules left

zposse: if there are a lot of mules, it goes 1st to 4th

zposse: if there are not that many mules, it goes 4th to 1st

zposse: so that the lower ranked plaeyrs get a chance to develop

zposse: in case the mules run out

britmarwell: ooooh

Bullet: the way i understand it, first to last develops first

zposse: that's only if there are a lot of mules left

zposse: at least, that was the way it was when i played it on the c64

Bullet: last to first wins all the ties in the land acution and resource auctions

zposse: yeah that is correct

zposse: lemme see if i can find the rules on turn order online or something

Bullet: i don't won't to be a jerk, but i'm gonna have to kick and hope that it continues

zposse: hold up for a sec

MenesCCIV: kick me

MenesCCIV: its cool

Bullet: alright menes, i'll kick you. thanks. hopefully that will work

britmarwell: bugs suck

Bullet: u there zposse?

Computer takes over MenesCCIV

MenesCCIV was kicked

britmarwell: zposse is looking for a bug thing online

zposse: i'm actually looking for turn order rules

Bullet: i kicked menes

Bullet: turn is 1st to last

britmarwell: oooh, mine isn't doing anything

Bullet: but last wins all the ties at the auctions

britmarwell: well it's still flashing on menes

Bullet: yeah, it said it kicked menes, but computer is not taking over

britmarwell: it said the computer took over, it's just...not

Bullet: crap

zposse: if there are 7 mules or less, then the last place player moves first

britmarwell: we got a bugged game
