Tingcat: dude il buy ure plot for alot!
dude2005: ok
Mega Byte: Since I won this game anyway... (and I have) can I get someone to buy one unit of smithore from me at $500 or more?
Mega Byte: Buy out the store stock (not many, cause I gouth them)
Tingcat: yaknow, the one with crystals
Mega Byte: And then the value of 1 share from me run up to $500+ will fix the price of smithore for round 12 at 250+
Mega Byte: Otherwise our colony score is going be crap...
Mega Byte: Please just buy 1
Mega Byte: Guess not..
Mega Byte: Thanks.
Round 12 of 12
Mega Byte: Way too late to catch up with crystite now.
Mega Byte: No wampus after all mountan plots taken
dude2005: think so too
Tingcat: no more wampus
dude2005: oh yeah
dude2005: forgot that one
Mega Byte: I wish people would cooperate more in the game.
Mega Byte: Everyone gets a higher score then...
Mega Byte: Instead of this "mine mine mine" thing...
Tingcat: k
dude2005: whats the problem
Tingcat: u and me will work together
dude2005: the price of smithore?
Tingcat: mega byte
Mega Byte: Sure
Mega Byte: Norlamin didn't help us any but not selecting plots
Mega Byte: so per turn production was crap.
Mega Byte: Yeah, this is where I get F***ed
Mega Byte: You guys sold at 66 last turn
Mega Byte: So my production value is now 1/2 what it was.
Mega Byte: And we will get a crap score
Mega Byte: Don't sell in last round
Mega Byte: Will not change the outcome of value/goods/$$$s
dude2005: it is also a game
Mega Byte: And if you seell food or energy, you are cutting your value in those areas by 1/15th.
Mega Byte: I have validated this with the game desginers.
Mega Byte: That won't help the valuation in round 12
Mega Byte: Also validated with desginers, and in the Home page
Tingcat: so no selling
Tingcat: ??
Mega Byte: Nope
Mega Byte: You can, but it will reduce your value
Mega Byte: Just slowing the game down
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
Mega Byte: Yeah... dismal result.
dude2005: ok pretty goog game
dude2005: could be better
Tingcat: oh.
Mega Byte: Yeah
dude2005: but agh
