Round 1 of 12

Mega Byte: augusto, what is your ping rate?

titanik: slooooow :)

augusto: i dont know what to do

Mega Byte: you picked a plot, but now you just have to wait for us to get one.

Mega Byte: But below this line, it says Ping: xxxms

Mega Byte: What is your ping saying?

augusto: 1940

titanik: holy...

titanik: dialup?

augusto: nooo

Mega Byte: No kidding...

augusto: to slow?

titanik: we will see

titanik: i just guess this takes 2 hours :)

Mega Byte: haha

augusto: why soo long?

Mega Byte: And you were worried about 318

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: Plot selection will take a long time.

Mega Byte: go to pub

augusto: shit!

Mega Byte: Its no big deal

Mega Byte: You just lost out on a few dollars at the pub.

augusto: ok someone explain me please!

Mega Byte: Won't hurt you.

Mega Byte: after each turn, return to pub if you have time, and you get a little extra cash.

Mega Byte: now the auction comes

titanik: you get money from pub if you make there at the end of the turn

Mega Byte: you need to make sure you hvae enough food and energy for each round

Mega Byte: No food means no time for turn

Mega Byte: no energy means your plots won't produce

Mega Byte: Augusto

Mega Byte: Don't selll

Mega Byte: You're on the wrong side

Mega Byte: you need to be on the buy side

Mega Byte: your turn will have very little time this time.

augusto: i cant understand sorry

Mega Byte: stay down. You won't need extra energy this turn, so just keep the 1 you have.

Mega Byte: Its ok

Mega Byte: Just suggesting so you can learn

Round 2 of 12

augusto: ok thanks

Mega Byte: put food plot on that square

Mega Byte: You can't mine (smithor or crystite) in the river bed.

Mega Byte: See, he just put down a food plot

Mega Byte: So you will want to do the same thing he just did

augusto: ok

Mega Byte: Perfect

Mega Byte: augusto press space bar

augusto: why?

Mega Byte: Production is automatic then, and makes the game go faster.

augusto: ok

augusto: i don understand this part

Mega Byte: Now you are buying and selling

Mega Byte: Sorry mate

titanik: come on...

Mega Byte: Nothin I could do

titanik: i was there before augusto i think

Mega Byte: I didn't take extra

Mega Byte: Its about rank

titanik: oh

Mega Byte: If we all get there at the same selling level, it sells to lowest ranked person first

Round 3 of 12

augusto: you know another games like this?

Mega Byte: Not really

Mega Byte: Turns going backward now because mules are scares

titanik: those smithore mountains are just unbeatable

Mega Byte: hehe

Mega Byte: Never seen 4 3 mountain plots linked before.

Mega Byte: Would love to have yours. :)

titanik: me neither

Mega Byte: No the way I would normally develop my turn, but just can't passs that up.

Mega Byte: Hopefully I'll be able to hang on for a couople turns

titanik: damn

titanik: should have bought the mules out

titanik: to raise the price

titanik: nice :)

Mega Byte: Your welcome. :)

Mega Byte: Wasn't going to but since you asked...

titanik: lol

Mega Byte: Can you wait 1 turn?\

titanik: omg

Mega Byte: It will be 230 next time

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: We just have to sit through 1 turn without mules.

titanik: actually this choice was bad for me

Mega Byte: don't buy

Mega Byte: You don't need it

augusto: iam bored

augusto: lol

Mega Byte: You'll get the hang of it.

Round 4 of 12

augusto: if i go i do something to the game'

augusto: ?

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: I have had more games freeze when people bail out.

titanik: the ai takes your place

Mega Byte: Go to pub

augusto: so i can go??

augusto: im tired

Mega Byte: You can

augusto: i like 3 in the morning here

Mega Byte: Just raises the risk that this game will freeze.

Mega Byte: If you go, go now while its not your turn.

augusto: sorry guys

Mega Byte: And not in mid-sale

Mega Byte: Its ok.

augusto: bye

Mega Byte: I suggest play training game on your own with AI first, and get the hang of it before joining a torunament game.

augusto: ok thanks i wil do it tomorrow

titanik: bye

Mega Byte: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

augusto: wtf!!

Mega Byte: that sucked

titanik: lol

Mega Byte: Night augusto

Mega Byte: go befor auction start

Mega Byte: or stay until it is over

Mega Byte: Otherwise, it will freeze

augusto left the game

Computer takes over augusto

titanik: 29 both :)

Mega Byte: Yup

Mega Byte: Nice

Mega Byte: Makes for a good game.

Mega Byte: Maybe it will speed up since 1920 left... hehe

titanik: :D

Mega Byte: That hurts.

Mega Byte: Sorry dude

Round 5 of 12

titanik: it's the name of the game

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: I don't like cut throat though

Mega Byte: I only took 1 etra

titanik: i'm usually as evil as can be :)

Mega Byte: hehe

Mega Byte: I don't do that

Mega Byte: Because then the colony top score suffers

Mega Byte: No need to be cut throat

Mega Byte: I just played to what was needed, with 1 extra energy for extra plot...

Mega Byte: If there had been more, I would ahve left it for you

Mega Byte: Nice turn

titanik: ...

titanik: didn't count right

Mega Byte: Not bad though for only losing 1 when you were -3

Mega Byte: There you go

Mega Byte: I got him down for you. :)

titanik: lol

titanik: ty

titanik: nice price for energy

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: I probably should have sould a couple...

Round 6 of 12

Mega Byte: Made me ern that one. :)

titanik: would have wanted that by myself also

Mega Byte: I wanted that one to link the others

titanik: eat me

Mega Byte: Ouhc

Mega Byte: Hahah, funny

titanik: i don't get it how i'm first

Mega Byte: You have it

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: Too early to buy the store out mate

Mega Byte: Don't do that...

titanik: worked yesterday

Mega Byte: Ok

Mega Byte: Sorry

Mega Byte: Your strategy :)

Mega Byte: Happy for you to play your game

titanik: nice price

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: I can live with that.

Mega Byte: hopefully the store won't burn...

Mega Byte: but that usually happens at least once in the game...

Round 7 of 12

titanik: wrong plot i took :P

Mega Byte: First one in the alleey

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: Hmmm you screwed me on that one...

Mega Byte: No mule for me this turn.

Mega Byte: All because my total score is 187 more...

titanik: didn't knew that was coming

Mega Byte: thats why I said too early to buy out the store...

Mega Byte: only round 6

Mega Byte: Do that at round 9 :)

titanik: i wonder why there are no pirates

Mega Byte: No much crystite production

titanik: not enough courage to buy yet :)

Mega Byte: When you hoard it, they come

titanik: bug??

Mega Byte: I just said the same thing... hehe

titanik: or just not selling

titanik: i feel like storage burning

Mega Byte: That would be great now actually...

Round 8 of 12

titanik: lol

Mega Byte: Yup

titanik: here comes the money

Mega Byte: Yeah...

Mega Byte: Not happy that you out produced me that round...

Mega Byte: Didn't see that coming.

titanik: 52 :P

titanik: almost cheapest crystite ever

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: I've seen it 48 I think

titanik: 50 is the minimum

Round 9 of 12

titanik: or so i have read/heard

titanik: from 50 to 150

titanik: though luck

Mega Byte: I just made up for it... :)

titanik: you got the cheap ones ;)

Mega Byte: No mules again dude...

Mega Byte: SHould have left a few.

titanik: four mules enough

Mega Byte: We all have undeveloped plots, and that means the donpt produce for turn, and the colony loses...

titanik: i'll rather starve

Mega Byte: Need time to move...

Round 10 of 12

titanik: ok, wasn't enough :)

titanik: hmphm

titanik: 132...

titanik: i'd produce food next turn if i had time

titanik: the price will be luxurious

Round 11 of 12

titanik: this will be interesting :)

Mega Byte: Yeah... Will this work???

titanik: i'm not sure

Mega Byte: I'd have rather you kept one, let me buy out the store, then run the price on 1 unit up to like 1000

Mega Byte: hehe

titanik: the price is affected by unused plots so it won't be as high as before

Mega Byte: Sell me that, and see what the stock price is after that.

Mega Byte: I'll hold that

titanik: i think the price is average price of sold goods but im not sure

Mega Byte: No pirates on last round, and if it goes up, only good for me...

titanik: pirates don't take smithore anymore

Mega Byte: Nope

Mega Byte: Never did in the original game unless there was no crystite

titanik: so it's all up to this smithore buying now :)

Round 12 of 12

Mega Byte: Uhhhh?

Mega Byte: OH

Mega Byte: I get it.

titanik: should have moved faster to get more energy

Mega Byte: Yeah

titanik: just saving the last inch of every penny

titanik: maybe you should have bought mules out to raise the price

Mega Byte: Hmmm

Mega Byte: Didn't think of that...

Mega Byte: WIsh I had

titanik: just came to mind

Mega Byte: I don't think it's enough.

Mega Byte: I think you win this.

Mega Byte: Becasues my units are worth less now then the were bevore.

titanik: true

Mega Byte: No need to sell

Mega Byte: Its last round

Mega Byte: We were 7000 apart

titanik: yep

Mega Byte: I don't think that will make up the gap

titanik: worth as assets as much

Mega Byte: still 84 so that is the same

Mega Byte: yea

Mega Byte: h

Mega Byte: And food/energy is worse

Mega Byte: you lose overall value by selling in last round

Mega Byte: I think it will be less than 2000 gap, but I think you win.

Mega Byte: Wow

Mega Byte: That was a surpise

Mega Byte: 140 energy

titanik: i have never undestood this as a whole

Game Over. Your progress has been saved.

titanik: this last auction/asset thingy

titanik: gg anyway

Mega Byte: I was spot on...2000

Mega Byte: I would have been much better off letting mules all go.

Mega Byte: That was my downfall.

Mega Byte: Sorry for taking your energy in last round.

titanik: though game even with big values

Mega Byte: But my only hope for a win.

Mega Byte: yeah

titanik: of course

Mega Byte: Wow that is a big score.

titanik: name of the game :)

Mega Byte: Asset and $$$ at the end are the same.

Mega Byte: So no need to sell

titanik: i just love being played by hard

Mega Byte: Yeah, best game I ever lost...

Mega Byte: hehe

titanik: bye

Mega Byte: I wanted this win to move my rank up

Mega Byte: CU
