zposse: i just finsihed a game a couple of hours ago
snarf135: yeah
Captain_Sinbad: oh yeah I had to cancel out of some games by myself, router issues
zposse: that's why a lot of people, like me, never host
zposse: can't get the router issues to work out right
Captain_Sinbad: bummer
Captain_Sinbad: I had set up a special app then added a virtual server setting and that was a mistake
Captain_Sinbad: it was all working with the dmz setting on
Captain_Sinbad: so I knew it was router issue

Round 5 of 12
piete: damn
Captain_Sinbad: a little pricey
zposse: the wampus doesn't appear on developed land
piete: yeah, thats different to original
piete: rich man, can afford to spoil...
Captain_Sinbad: this sucks I have to go eat dinner
Captain_Sinbad: leaving game running though is that ok?
zposse: bring your computer to dinner
piete: eat in front of cpu
Captain_Sinbad: theyd kill me

zposse: i can wait too
snarf135: np
zposse: tell them food is too expensive
zposse: it's over 200
Captain_Sinbad: its not fair to you guys
snarf135: lol
Captain_Sinbad: kill me off lol
piete: cpu can still destroy your good game ;)
Round 6 of 12
piete: he's away already, didnt get a plot
zposse: should have let an ai take over
piete: better kill than no play
zposse: yeah, now it will hang up on his turn
zposse: maybe he thought the post-auction screen would stay forever?
zposse is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
snarf135: crap, now ill be at 4 games 100% abandon
zposse: hmm now what
snarf135: ??\
piete: dunno...
zposse: i wonder why it went to his turn instead of flashing his plots forever
snarf135: you should kick him
piete: anyway, when he gets back his chances are weaker, 1 lost turn means a lot
snarf135: oh, hes host
piete: oh...
piete: :)
zposse: i wonder if he put some weight on his space bar or something
piete: ok, you chat was purely academic then
piete: you=our
piete: damn
piete: shall we wait for him now then?
piete: :)
zposse: is he ever going to come back?
zposse: he could be gone for hours
snarf135: yeah
piete: who pressed his button?
Round 7 of 12
zposse: maybe he put a stapler on his spacebar to weight it down
piete: but why did it not take plot?
zposse: i dunno
zposse: maybe you have to lift it up then press it down again for taking plots?
piete: you dont like land auctions?
snarf135: you payed alot before thought you might buy it
piete: enough is enough
zposse is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
snarf135: sigh
snarf135: we tried
piete: i dont get that message
zposse: we can finish this game, it just won't be that fun :)i
snarf135: well true
zposse is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
zposse: this is really laggy
snarf135: zposse is not responding to continue
snarf135: Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
zposse: kick me
snarf135: did you get that msg
zposse: i got a network connection msg
piete: but the games going on
zposse: wait
piete: play on
zposse: sorry about causing that lag
snarf135: np
piete: the server could just kick the player off if it decides that the player is harming the game instead of leaving the responsibility to the host
zposse: i think my connection is getting kinda bad, if you guys want me to leave let me know
Round 8 of 12
zposse: otherwise i'll just play through
piete: game on
snarf135: yep
piete: cpus no fun
Captain_Sinbad: b
piete: hey, i bought it!
snarf135: ummmmm, no
piete: shit
zposse: so close
piete: on my screen i was up
snarf135: wow, you were never over once on mine
piete: so the lag harms the auctions
zposse: who ended up buying it, snarf?
snarf135: my ping is 109, what about ya'll
piete: once another player complained to me about what i just suffered
piete: 219
piete: and that was v1.0
zposse: mine's the worst, it's 484, so if you want me to leave lemme know
piete: i thought sindbad was back
snarf135: this game is so screwed up as it is, i don't care. I jus want to finish it so im not 100% abandoned. folks will stop letting me play
zposse: it's only 4 more turns
snarf135: yep
snarf135: you should rush up and buy higher if you want the price to rise
piete: no hurry
snarf135: i'm just trying to keep the price down. its the only reason i mined it this game
piete: :)
piete: was that "b" a sign that the weight moved from space?
zposse: maybe
snarf135: probably
piete: great
zposse: the b is right above the space bar
zposse: but then you'd have to hit enter
zposse: and it would probably look more like "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"
piete: strange...
snarf135: ok I have stuff to get done, We gave it our best
piete: im not quitting, í have enough abandon% and havent abandoned once that did not have to do with technical difficulties
zposse: we're so close to the end
snarf135: i'll leave it up for a bit and check back on it every 15 or so
piete: ok
snarf135: back in a few.
Round 9 of 12
zposse: oh wow
piete: hey
snarf135: or that
zposse: right when he said that
piete: hes back!
zposse: he got the last plot
Captain_Sinbad: I know I suck lol
snarf135: welcome back
snarf135: i'm just happy to get a finished game
Captain_Sinbad: came back two or thrre times while eating rofl
snarf135: oh that was the "b"
Captain_Sinbad: damnI gots stuff in inventory
piete: no more wampus
snarf135: wampi?
zposse: wampus only appears on undeveloped land
piete: no free mountains
Captain_Sinbad: ok
piete: price not good enough for snarf?
zposse: careful of pirates
snarf135: nah, ill look for 125 +
piete: :)
piete: greed makes world go around
piete: and stock markets
snarf135: hehe
Round 10 of 12
snarf135: ack 84!
Captain_Sinbad: I dunno 9 mules left
piete: have to let them out...
zposse: that's gonna be expensive
piete: no, cheap, 70+25 per mule
zposse: times 9
piete: yeah
piete: cheap
zposse: i guess there is still undeveloped land for other people to use mules
Round 11 of 12
piete: how come 130?
piete: store low price was 36...
zposse: i think the rule is newly made mules are expensive, and then gradaually go down in price each round
zposse: so it's indirectly tied to store price because everyone is selling smithore when the store price is high
zposse: which causes more new mules to be made
Captain_Sinbad: why did I mention the mules rofl
piete: shouldve got 1 more...
zposse: i think the pirates are coming this round...
snarf135: never
zposse: they should have pirate insurance
piete: :)
piete: thanks but its still not enough
piete: there should be empty plots
zposse: there u go
piete: thanks radiation! :D
Captain_Sinbad: wouldnt you know it
zposse: look at u
piete: i was hoping 250...
piete: on original it never rose that fast
piete: i was thinking this turn only 60-80 and next turn 200+
Captain_Sinbad: mules happen
zposse: $400 mule for me next turn, maybe i will leave that plot undeveloped
piete: well, at least pirates wont come anymore
piete: this price you cannot affect, its purely random
zposse: if i put a crystite there, i'd have to make 5 or 6, and have a price of a little more than 100 to make it worthwhile?
zposse: i guess i'll see how much the mule costs
piete: its 340
zposse: ok
piete: buy energy!
Captain_Sinbad: wonder if you can colude in this version
zposse: i don't think so
zposse: i never really used it in the old version
piete: me neithre
Round 12 of 12
Captain_Sinbad: I grew up with it
Captain_Sinbad: I had about 5 atari computers
Captain_Sinbad: well 8 if you include the ST's
zposse: atari fanboy
zposse: you are
piete: i wish i had had
Captain_Sinbad: its all about the 6502
piete: i really like the old atari
piete: i had only st
piete: and vcs the "modern" version
Captain_Sinbad: I had the 520 and the mega 4 ST's
piete: actually still have them
piete: and an amiga
piete: and c64 and 128 that dont work...
Captain_Sinbad: I had a c64 too
zposse: i played on the c64
Captain_Sinbad: tape drives disc drives for all
piete: one friend still has a working one, we played real 4-player live mule until few years ago
zposse: so are mules double the store smithore price?
zposse: i never really paid attention to that pricing mechanism
piete: yes
zposse: ok
Captain_Sinbad: buddy of mine is coming over to play this, but gotta take a break to do some domestic stuff
piete: but last transaction price that is
piete: last round
Captain_Sinbad: after this is done of course
piete: quite a fast drop
snarf135: they crushed the town!!!
Captain_Sinbad: hope the colony lives good
piete: didnt pay attention to colony score
zposse: last game i played the colony score was over 120,000
piete: crystite didnt flourish this game
piete: thats a good score
snarf135: nope
zposse: the lead guy (not me) had almost 50,000
piete: on c64 never had over 40000
piete: and i played a lot
Captain_Sinbad: me and buddy had over 90k last night
