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

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

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

Bullet: jinx
britmarwell: pinch poke you both owe me a coke

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

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
