Dysiode: yeah

Dysiode: you'll pick it up quick, don't worry

Reactor5: desert = solar

gcr: Ah

Dysiode: Hit space to place your thing

Dysiode: just walk into a stall to buy from it

Dysiode: you probably want to use energy like I did

Dysiode: @Amanda and Brian

Reactor5: yeah

Dysiode: er, Mike*

Reactor5: that works too though

Dysiode: true story

Reactor5: press space

Reactor5: go to the pub!

Dysiode: and then walk back to the bar

Dysiode: it converts unused time to money

Dysiode: You can do it mike!

Reactor5: solar or food

Dysiode: Noooo

Reactor5: nooooo

Dysiode: buy something

Dysiode: There ya go =D

Icthyophobia: what just happened?

Reactor5: we produced goods!

Dysiode: We moved onto buying and selling

gcr: I have a "shortage"?

Dysiode: get down here, jerk >:|

Reactor5: har har har

gcr: ok, so now that I'm 0, does that mean I'm OK?

gcr: What happens when I don't do that?

Reactor5: yeah, 0 is +-0

Reactor5: positive numbers are extra, negative is defecit

Dysiode: Ah blah

Reactor5: and Amanda is very much in the green now

Dysiode: You don't need energies either of you

Reactor5: stop buying, you capatalist pig

Round 2 of 6

Reactor5: button?

Reactor5: build a farm there, Amanda

Dysiode: Ohj.

Reactor5: and it doesn't wrap guys

Dysiode: Oh wait. I wanted food

Reactor5: ah HAH!

gcr: Is this a good plot?

Dysiode: Pretty good

Reactor5: yeah, unfortunately I played too well last auction

gcr: eh, I sure hope note.....

gcr: not. :P

gcr: Can I change another plot?

Dysiode: yeah, it'll swap out whever is on it

Dysiode: and then sell it

Reactor5: sell it at the corrall

gcr: Seriously?!

Dysiode: now go to the pub

gcr: It isn't supposed to work like that. ;_;

gcr: oh well

gcr: Could one buy another mule of the same type and enhance production or something?

Dysiode: Nope

gcr: Aw.

Dysiode: Production is based on plot type

Dysiode: There is a list of plot types and productions in the how-to

Reactor5: sweeeeeet

gcr: What happens if you can't make it back?

Dysiode: PRODUTION TIMEZ

Dysiode: You don't get a bonus

Reactor5: you forfeit any mules you're carrying

gcr: Aw.

Dysiode: that too

Dysiode: lololol, not enough Power for Brian

Reactor5: bugger

Icthyophobia: what's smithore good for?

Reactor5: makin' da mules

Dysiode: You sell it to the town to build more Mules

Icthyophobia: and the crystite?

Dysiode: selling

Reactor5: sell it off world

Dysiode: the market price is random

Reactor5: 92 is a good price though

Reactor5: it's basically anywhere from 80 to 120

Dysiode: I've seen it get to 160

Reactor5: really? huh.

Dysiode: I didn't know how amazing that was

Dysiode: You don't -need- food, Mike

Reactor5: yeah he does

gcr: But I'll have more later, right?

Dysiode: Not direly

Reactor5: it goes up to 4 next round

gcr: well except for that

Dysiode: oh, ok

Dysiode: DON"T SELL TO BRIAN

Dysiode: or at least not low

Dysiode: ;)

Reactor5: meanies

Reactor5: meanie faics

Dysiode: You were selling high for food and they don't even know the difference!

Round 3 of 6

gcr: ASsets = the stuff we produced?

Reactor5: yes

gcr: Where are the expenses?

Reactor5: dangit Amanda

Dysiode: XD

Dysiode: Asay that on your tern, Amanda

Dysiode: Assay* it'll check for crystalite content

gcr: Was that smart?

Reactor5: HE WHO CONTROLS THE SPICE CONTROLS THE WORRRRLD

Dysiode: If it's Medium or higher it's a good idea to place a crystalite mine on it

Dysiode: other wise just solar

Reactor5: not enough time

Dysiode: You won't have time

Reactor5: sell 'im

gcr: How would we sell Smithore to the pub?

Dysiode: sell it

Icthyophobia: dangit.

gcr: er, store*

Dysiode: O___O!

Dysiode: We all know who's going for -that-

Icthyophobia: i lost a mule. :(

gcr: Who?

gcr: Everyone?

Dysiode: Everyone.

Dysiode: It's ok, Amanda

Dysiode: you should have seen what it did to Brian last game

Dysiode: It stole like 3 mules all in all

Reactor5: that was horrible

Dysiode: hilarious*

Dysiode: "I looked away and my factory was gone. What happened?!"

gcr: How does the and the offworld Crystite buy?

gcr: or: how do we know which price?

Dysiode: It's a random price

Dysiode: we can't control it

gcr: ah, so there's no definite line you can meet?

Dysiode: DOn't sell too much

gcr: maaan...

Dysiode: Also, Amanda is hilarious =D

Icthyophobia: what did i do?

Reactor5: right where I should be

Icthyophobia: ...other than lose.

Dysiode: You teased him and then sold a bunch of your food when he backed off and didn't sell to him when he tried to catch up to you

Round 4 of 6

Icthyophobia: i did?

Dysiode: I was losing to bots, don't feel bad =p

gcr: What if we don't have enough food / energy / whatever?

gcr: at the end of a round?

Dysiode: Lower production

Dysiode: on't amanda!

Icthyophobia: ..dangit.

Reactor5: good luck developing on it.

Dysiode: Now you don't have enough money to buy a mule

Reactor5: put energy one it though.

Icthyophobia: i am not very good at this.

Dysiode: You'll get better

Dysiode: fail, Mike =3

gcr: How so?

Reactor5: 'cause everybody knows it's SABOTAGE!

Dysiode: Just go tot he pub

Reactor5: pub, sis

Dysiode: or I guess you could have auctioned off a plot

Dysiode: When you do a lane sale you have to walk to the plot and hit space, just so you know

Dysiode: I didn't.

Dysiode: ;~;

Reactor5: you have to go to the land box first

gcr: Really fast, cause I don't understand something: How come I fail, Pat?

Reactor5: EFFFFF

Reactor5: this game freakin' hates me

Dysiode: Oh, because you were suppsed to artificially raise the price to make him pay more than he could have other wise

Reactor5: which I did

Dysiode: but mike bought it at the higher price

gcr: But I got that land for somewhat cheap?

gcr: wait, what?

Reactor5: nope. You got it for close to double the asking price

Dysiode: Don't worry about it, you take a risk when you do that anyway

Dysiode: =3

gcr: How do you know what the first asking price is?

Dysiode: O_O holy smithore price

Reactor5: you got a good mining plot anywyay

Reactor5: fire in the store tends to do that

Dysiode: ah, was it a good plot? never mind then

Dysiode: heh, I guess I'm used tot he bots keeping the smithore low

Reactor5: 3 mountains = best mining

Reactor5: 2 mountains = second best

Reactor5: 1 mountain = third best

Dysiode: I didn't actually see what plot was being auctioned

Reactor5: no mountains = kinda crap

gcr: Augh.

Dysiode: no mountained = crap =p

Dysiode: Gouge Brian!

Reactor5: no, you stlil produce a little

gcr: ok, so the number in the lower left is asking price. What are the numbers at the top right and bottom right?

Round 5 of 6

Icthyophobia: you people are evil.

gcr: so here, is $572 the asking price?

Dysiode: Yeah

gcr: Ah

Dysiode: and it's pretty steep

Reactor5: especially for that

Icthyophobia: agh, i can't afford a mule AGAIN?

Reactor5: excellent

Dysiode: How much is the mule?

Icthyophobia: 400 something.

Dysiode: O__o

Dysiode: wow

Dysiode: The game might have mercy on you

Reactor5: you had another one to produce though...

Reactor5: hooray Amanda!

Dysiode: Except it doesn't do her anywagood

Reactor5: do the mountain!

Dysiode: don't buy it

Reactor5: oh, you're right.

Dysiode: ;~;

Reactor5: that's right sucker

Reactor5: karma's a you know what

Dysiode: That plot....

Dysiode: It got hit 3 times in our game

gcr: What does the $265 at the top right mean?

Dysiode: How much you can buy it for

Reactor5: that's what you'd have to pay the store to sell it to you

gcr: Ah.

Dysiode: the house/town price

Reactor5: if you want to create a mule shortage, for instance

gcr: And the one at the bottom lower right?

Reactor5: good question

gcr: I bet the top right is stock?

Reactor5: good job sis

Icthyophobia: i'll get the hang of this eventually.

Reactor5: no, you did it right that time.

Dysiode: After 12 rounds you've got it down well enough to realize how badly you screwed up at the start

Dysiode: so 6 is good to learn on

Reactor5: I actually have to agree there

Dysiode: haha, beating mike by 54

Round 6 of 6

Dysiode: LAST ROUND =DDD

Reactor5: why did you have to do that on the last round

Reactor5: you jerk

Reactor5: with good lag

Dysiode: 2ms is good lag?

Reactor5: well you're friggin' hosting though

Reactor5: Amanda, hot cookies up here

Dysiode: What's the ping on your end?

Dysiode: You're mean, brian

Reactor5: 30

Dysiode: ah, ok

gcr: !!

Dysiode: now you just sell everything ^^

gcr: OH, OK

Reactor5: or don't, if you think it'll be more valuable to keep

Reactor5: like energy I think is

Dysiode: oh, ok

gcr: When will that be?

Reactor5: now

Dysiode: (now for energy)

gcr: How is energy valuable to keep after the game?

Reactor5: it's higher under your assets. It's worth more than 10 points IIRC

gcr: Ahhhh.

Reactor5: actually I think Crystite is worth more than 50 as well

gcr: ANd you are keeping your crystite for that very reason.

Reactor5: I'd have to look it up again

Icthyophobia: what about food?

Reactor5: sell it if you're going to

Dysiode: I figure follow brian's lead =3

Reactor5: I can't remember

gcr: Oh well.

Reactor5: money always looks good

Dysiode: IT SURE DOES =DDD

Game Over. Your progress has been saved.

Icthyophobia: I lose...

Reactor5: well, shall we play again?

Dysiode: That's a good score for 6 rounds

Icthyophobia: sure.

Reactor5: no kidding

Dysiode: Now it loops

Reactor5: hit new game pat.

gcr: Question about usage

Dysiode: Lets have Q&A perhaps?

Reactor5: www.planetmule.com

gcr: Does usage take effect on the previous round or the next round?

Dysiode: Usage happens to your current stock

gcr: Because at the end, there was no usage.

gcr: and everyone had surplus

Dysiode: and the surplus tells you how much you'll need for next round

Reactor5: the end is just screwy. It's calculated differently then.

Dysiode: or rather

gcr: Is this taking account for whether you actually buy land the next time though?

Dysiode: the... second time when it tells you with that red line

Dysiode: No, I don't think so

Icthyophobia: this is a very interesting song.

Dysiode: oh wait yes

Dysiode: it does

Dysiode: The supply of Energy is the number of units possessed by all players and the store. The demand is the number of units that will be used by all factories in the next round, plus the number of players, because we expect all players to build at least one more factory the next round.

Dysiode: Interesting how, Amanda?

gcr: Ah, so if you don't build any more factories next round, then you'll have a higher surplus next round than it expects?

Dysiode: That it predicts at least

Icthyophobia: not in any particular way, it's just interesting. it has whole new stanza-type things that you have to sit around for a few minutes to get to hear.

gcr: Right.

Dysiode: heh, true

Dysiode: anyway, off to a new game?

Dysiode: another 6 rounds or do you want to do 12?

Icthyophobia: let's do another six.

gcr: 6 works

Dysiode: (you being a collective "you guys"

Dysiode: ok
