LOTR_Dan: Oops

cyounghusband: don't know if that was the network or what

cyounghusband: this is my first tournament

cyounghusband: not a good start!

Mega Byte: You're doing fine.

LOTR_Dan: It happens to the best of us.

LOTR_Dan: And I'm pretty awful, so it shouldn't be a nig deal

cyounghusband: bugger.

Round 2 of 12

LOTR_Dan: COME ON

Mega Byte: Yeah... bugger.

cyounghusband: yah, that's annoying

Mega Byte: Buy Dan!

Mega Byte: :)

Round 3 of 12

cyounghusband: i actually thought i had that...must have scooped it at the last second

Mega Byte: It was a tie for money, so person lower on the ranking wins.

Mega Byte: You were both at 968

LOTR_Dan: Yeah. I'm losing so the game is nice to me.

LOTR_Dan: I mean, I'm still losing, but hey. :)

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: Nice one.

Mega Byte: Is good to play with a group that isn't cut throat.

Mega Byte: I don't enjoy the game so much then.

Mega Byte: Nice catch anveen

cyounghusband: wow, never caught the moutain thing before

Mega Byte: Run near it, and press the space bar like crazy. :)

cyounghusband: how many rounds are we playing?

Mega Byte: 12, its tournament

LOTR_Dan: Oh right, the energy...son of a...

cyounghusband: what makes a game cutthroat?

Mega Byte: people screwing each other over.

Mega Byte: Is better collective score if we work together.

Mega Byte: I get enough greif from the computer... :D

Mega Byte: So, I basically lose a turn the next turn, thanks to pest attack.

Mega Byte: And no engery, so 0 production for me...

Round 4 of 12

anveen: that was needed...

anveen: nice relatives :)

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: Wow.

Mega Byte: That was very lucky...

LOTR_Dan: Man, I am just wasting my money all over the place.

cyounghusband: looks like your smithore speculation worked out megabyte

cyounghusband: i like the trick

LOTR_Dan: Ok, this will LOOK like I'm quitting because I am losing, but I have to go. Girlfriend calls.

LOTR_Dan: Sorry guys. Have a good night.

Mega Byte: Night

cyounghusband: bummer

LOTR_Dan: Yeah, this was fun.

LOTR_Dan: NExt time I guess.

LOTR_Dan left the game

Computer takes over LOTR_Dan

Mega Byte: AHHH

Mega Byte: Sorry

anveen: wow...gourmet prices for food

Mega Byte: Meant to sell to you guys

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: You should keep 1 spare unit.

Mega Byte: For new placement on plots.

Mega Byte: Or you will have energy shortate.

Mega Byte: shortage.

cyounghusband: of energy?

cyounghusband: oh

Round 5 of 12

Mega Byte: WTF!

Mega Byte: Man, screwed myself on food price from accident last round...

cyounghusband: ? didn't you just make a lot?

Round 6 of 12

cyounghusband: first ever catch!

Mega Byte: Nice one. :)

Mega Byte: Food was 126 last turn, before that was 251. My mistake was seeling 1 unit to store at 251, or we woud have all been selling at that price.

cyounghusband: ic. so part of doing well as a community is gaming the store sortof

Mega Byte: Yup

Mega Byte: Prices are set by previous actions.

Mega Byte: So price fixing is possible.

Mega Byte: But that's good for the economy... (in this game)

Mega Byte: :)

Round 7 of 12

cyounghusband: stupid network! damn, not what I wanted

Mega Byte: Yeah, I didn't get my plots either.

cyounghusband: 301 ms ping seems long to me, where are you located?

Mega Byte: Tokyo

Mega Byte: Has nothing to do with where I am though.

cyounghusband: Oh, I thought you were the host

cyounghusband: so it's all off the planet mule server then

Mega Byte: I am. But I'm on a 100m/bit fiber connection. I'm sure it's not on my end. :)

cyounghusband: dammit, when is the price of christite going to go up? Is it totally random?

Mega Byte: Yup

Mega Byte: Not market drvien like everything else.

cyounghusband: i'll be screwed in this game if pirates come along... caught they took not just the store stock but everyone's stock also, right?

Round 8 of 12

Mega Byte: CY, press button

Mega Byte: lalalala

cyounghusband: when I tried on training, the christite would sometimes go much higher...bad luck i guess

Mega Byte: No need for extra food, unless you are worried about glack elves

Round 9 of 12

cyounghusband: does it actually matter who presses the button first, or does the server just take the input of everyone who wants a plot, and then assigns it randomly?

Mega Byte: If we all press on the same plot, whoever is lowest wins the plot.

Mega Byte: Just like in auctions

cyounghusband: ok, thanks for the good info

Mega Byte: Maybe that will help.

Mega Byte: Thanks Anveen

cyounghusband: you think that might push up

cyounghusband: yeah

Mega Byte: Maybe...

Mega Byte: Not supposed to though.

Mega Byte: Figured I'd buy one, and see what happens.

cyounghusband: yeah, just odd that it has been low for 9 straight rounds

Mega Byte: I'm worried the pirates will come now...

cyounghusband: yeah, i'd be screwed.

Round 10 of 12

Mega Byte: So where are you located?

cyounghusband: montreal

cyounghusband: i was in tokyo last year... very worklike city...expensive

cyounghusband: but at least the sushi was great

Mega Byte: How long were you here?

cyounghusband: just a few days for fun

Mega Byte: Cool.

Mega Byte: Have been working here 4 years.

cyounghusband: next time if I go to japan, i'll probably go outside of toyko

cyounghusband: c'mon!

Mega Byte: 3 turns in a ROW!!!

Mega Byte: WTF

cyounghusband: i think the total score will not be good

Mega Byte: BAH

Mega Byte: No way I can catch up now...

Mega Byte: Nice move CY

Round 11 of 12

cyounghusband: just some insurance against an energy shortage

Mega Byte: Well, that is game over for me...

Mega Byte: Nice one Anveen, you just won.

cyounghusband: doh... i think that seals it up for anveen

Mega Byte: Indeed it does.

Mega Byte: The man of few words. :)

Mega Byte: Total BS about minning...

Mega Byte: 3 quakes and then pirates... WTF.

Round 12 of 12

cyounghusband: ? I thought the pirates would kill us, i don't understand why i was in first? whatever. I haven't understood yet how the server values resources that you have

Mega Byte: No need to sell...

Mega Byte: Price is the same for goods or seeling.

Mega Byte: :)

cyounghusband: based on the last round?

Mega Byte: In the last round.

Mega Byte: Yes.

Mega Byte: That is why AI characters never sell.

Mega Byte: Wow.

Mega Byte: If that had been crystite at 144, I might have had a chance. :)

Mega Byte: Actually, is bad strategy to sell food & energy in last round, as they lose 15% of their value by selling.

cyounghusband: yeah, you have a ton of production there...i thought I was aggressive with it, but you really had a lot of production going

Mega Byte: That's why I've been cringing over the mining and pirate losses...

Mega Byte: I had a chance before that.

Mega Byte: But I don't think it's enough with such a low crystite value.

Mega Byte: First time I've ever seen it go where crystite was only about 100 1 time...

Mega Byte: And a 64 value in last round is crushing...

Game Over. Your progress has been saved.

Mega Byte: Nice one CY

anveen: gg

cyounghusband: thanks

cyounghusband: gg

Mega Byte: Ta

cyounghusband: yes, that was fun

Mega Byte: Thanks everyone.
