Gunnar joined the game in slot 4

Ramerco: everyone want to do coop?

LPrez: yes

vaylen: ok

Ramerco: worktogether for high score

LPrez: damn not gunnar again

Ramerco: gunnar? still teh strong silent type?

LPrez: i call smithore

vaylen: crystite

Ramerco: i think we should all go at least 3 ore plots

vaylen: so we auction our lands to whoever could use it the most

Ramerco: so we can keep money high

Gunnar left the game

Ramerco: i think the best way is to keep smithore as high as possible

Ramerco: so we all need some to have enough money

LPrez: ok

Ramerco: if we only each sell 2 each round, we can keep it at 150-230

LPrez: maximize crystite too

Ramerco: crystal is hard because of random price and pirates

LPrez: sure but if its been too long since the pirates came i think we need to dump

vaylen: we also need to keep land auctions at rock bottom prices

LPrez: pirates take smithore too

vaylen: not any more

Ramerco: not anymore

LPrez: oh shit

Ramerco: it is back to original, crystal only

LPrez: had i known

Ramerco: so ore can last forever

LPrez: i would have won my last game

Ramerco: unlimited amounts

Ramerco: haha

LPrez: wow that changes things

Ramerco: so i think only ore

vaylen: we can make sure everyone has enough money with the food and energy auctions

Ramerco: yeah

Ramerco: try to live on -1 food

LPrez: i think we make more money from the pub wiht full food though

Ramerco: most of the time, then we can get by with fewer plots

Ramerco: also if one person gets two plots in river adjacent they make tons of food for all

Ramerco: and one person gets lower two

Ajax visits

LPrez: sure

vaylen: I'd rather use the extra food to catch the wumpus, it's a net gain

LPrez: ajax its coop

LPrez: well you can do both will full food

Ramerco: are you cool with working together for high score?

Ramerco: i think it is better to spread things around

Ramerco: you can get the wampus easily with -1

Ajax left the game

LPrez: k but with specialisation we get more productivity

vaylen: but we need to have 1 smithore miner and 1 crystite miner

LPrez: basic eco right there

vaylen: that maxes out EOS

Ramerco: i dont think so

Ramerco: if all smithore we can do better

vaylen: why do you say that?

Ramerco: ore can be kept at 230 most of the game if done right

Hemophage visits

Ramerco: crystal is random 50-150 and has pirates

vaylen: you get a bonus if one person does all the smithore mining

LPrez: thats what im saying

LPrez: the bonus is key

Ramerco: no, you get a bonus based on the plots you have

vaylen: exactly, the more the better

Ramerco: so if three poeopel have 9 plots each, they each get +3 to all plots

LPrez: and if they are adjacent

vaylen: but they need to be adjacent

Ramerco: yeah

Ramerco: but adjacency doesnt stack

LPrez: whatever which strategy are we picking

Ramerco: so two adjacent are as good as three

vaylen: are you saying it maxes out at +3?

Ramerco: i think all ore

Ramerco: no it can be +4 for 12

LPrez: im fine either way i jsut want to try

Ramerco: hemophage is new, but we can teach him

Hemophage: Hey everyone

LPrez: hey hemophage

Ramerco: a coop game can be a good way to lern i think

Ramerco: watch what we do closely

Ramerco: you need to join with j

LPrez: this is a coop game

vaylen: I've played this way with 4 controllers on an Atari 800 and the score was higher when one player mined all the smithore

Hemophage joined the game in slot 4

Ramerco: and your "button" is spacebar

Ramerco: the arrows to move around

Hemophage: Okay

Ramerco: select a plot on the river bed, above the store

LPrez: press it now

Ramerco: that will make sense soon

Ramerco: use your button to select a plot

Ramerco: when the black outline is over it

LPrez: ill grab that energy

Ramerco: ok

vaylen: ok

Ramerco: i will go lower left

Ramerco: press button
