C64 nostalgia: Hello and Welcome Everyone
Round 1 of 12
C64 nostalgia: percy, you could hunt the wampus next time
percybyshe: tell me about this wampus
percybyshe: how do you know where he'll be
C64 nostalgia: look for the little blue head
C64 nostalgia: in the mts
percybyshe: got it
percybyshe: thanks
C64 nostalgia: np
Round 2 of 12
percybyshe: should I have put energy there instead?
C64 nostalgia: maybe
Round 3 of 12
C64 nostalgia: only on unbought plots
percybyshe: i hate the wampus
BaronHelix: :(
C64 nostalgia: early first curse
C64 nostalgia: it does suck
BaronHelix: that was awful timing to lose $
BaronHelix: and yay
Round 4 of 12
percybyshe: !
percybyshe: that sux
C64 nostalgia: what $300?
percybyshe: yeah - what determines those events?
percybyshe: wow
percybyshe: now i see why everyone was stocking up on that
BaronHelix: 1st place only gets bad. 2nd good and bad. 3/4th get only good. when is totally random
C64 nostalgia: order and randomness
percybyshe: when the mules were done that drove up the demand for smithore?
BaronHelix: yes
Round 5 of 12
percybyshe: why are the mules so expensive?
C64 nostalgia: double the price of smitore
BaronHelix: mules are equal to double the smithore buy value
BaronHelix: each mule uses 2 smithore.
percybyshe: I see
BaronHelix: so, if no ore in supply, nop mules. then price skyrockets
percybyshe: so if the price this turn is cheaper, the mules will be less
BaronHelix: yep
Round 6 of 12
percybyshe: why does no one seem to care about crystite
BaronHelix: higher up
BaronHelix: there ya go :)
percybyshe: thanks baron!
percybyshe: my very first wampus!
C64 nostalgia: yeah
BaronHelix: sweet!
percybyshe: what does that mean
BaronHelix: no ore = high price
BaronHelix: ]230 next turn
percybyshe: got it
percybyshe: I think
BaronHelix: which is highest possible
BaronHelix: crystite ranges from 50-150. anything over $100 i sell
percybyshe: also good to know
BaronHelix: welcome back to the game c-64
percybyshe: should I not have sold to him?
C64 nostalgia: ty very much
C64 nostalgia: you made a lot of money
BaronHelix: once market price is driven up, the base market dissapears that turn
Round 7 of 12
percybyshe: got it - thanks
percybyshe: you can change the mule?
C64 nostalgia: yep
percybyshe: no more wampus/
BaronHelix: no wmore wumpus
C64 nostalgia: no more wampus
percybyshe: I wouldn't have taken the last mountains if I had known that - sorry everyone
BaronHelix: only when there is an uncontrolled mountain
BaronHelix: s'ok. someone would have this turn or next
percybyshe: great
C64 nostalgia: i have food!
Round 8 of 12
percybyshe: the land sale shop -can you buy or sell land in it, or just sell plots you already have?
C64 nostalgia: just sell
BaronHelix: sell a plot you own to other players
percybyshe: I see
percybyshe: and does anyone ever do that?
percybyshe: !
Round 9 of 12
BaronHelix: whew
BaronHelix: glad i filled the market before :)
percybyshe: I still don't really understand the way the market moves
BaronHelix: if i had sold less before, orange might have bought all stock. i starve this month and do nothing to fix it
percybyshe: like will smithore be much cheaper now since we sold so much of it?
Round 10 of 12
BaronHelix: yes, it will
BaronHelix: half
percybyshe: why are there so few mules if we sold so much smithore?
BaronHelix: well, half-ish. i still don't know the exacts. it has to do with # of open plots, and ore in stock plus last sale price
percybyshe: so I did what I saw c64 doing - wasting the mules so that other players couldn't use them?
BaronHelix: yep.
C64 nostalgia: rasie smithore
C64 nostalgia: most don't need mules
BaronHelix: if no mules in stock at end of turn it does two things
percybyshe: raise the ore
BaronHelix: first: last player may get no mules
BaronHelix: second: no mules in stock auto-raises value of ore in market
percybyshe: got it
BaronHelix: earthquake eats mules of leader in this version
C64 nostalgia: nice
percybyshe: that was good playing right?
percybyshe: i learned from y'all
BaronHelix: end of game months, harder to tell
C64 nostalgia: i learned about that recently too
BaronHelix: it gets weird when open # of plots gets smaller
percybyshe: I see
BaronHelix: why i took no chance and went at 130
BaronHelix: prolly my mistake
percybyshe: now food is less important because turn lenght is shorter?
BaronHelix: yep
percybyshe: i see
percybyshe: and because the house has energy
percybyshe: mine is worth less
Round 11 of 12
percybyshe: do I need food?
C64 nostalgia: you can't mine on the riverbed
percybyshe: got it
BaronHelix: wow. earthquake ate one of the mountain dots in my space too!
BaronHelix: buy all
BaronHelix: yep
percybyshe: so purple buys so orange can't
Round 12 of 12
BaronHelix: needed care package
C64 nostalgia: i wish for those too
BaronHelix: whew
percybyshe: is food or energy worth anything in the last round?
C64 nostalgia: usually low
BaronHelix: just the sale value
BaronHelix: +10
percybyshe: so I should've changed it to ore for the last round?
BaronHelix: or that's what i have been led to believe
percybyshe: and why is energy so expensive? because we were short last time?
BaronHelix: yep. plus it was bought high
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
percybyshe: so ostensibly selling in the last round is meaningless
C64 nostalgia: well done percy
BaronHelix: gj
percybyshe: thanks guys for all ofyour help - i really appreciate it
C64 nostalgia: thanks baron the lessons
C64 nostalgia: Thanks everyone
BaronHelix: revenge?
