ChittyChangChong: really?

Mega Byte: Jesus... you guys suck

Samvega: Should I have backed down to let you have some?

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: Then, yeah, I could have done with 1 more. ;)

Mega Byte: FOOD

Mega Byte: Is all you can buy

Mega Byte: Good one

Mega Byte: Nice CCC

ChittyChangChong: :D

Mega Byte: Go to the top.

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: OH...

Mega Byte: Bad plan Vega

Mega Byte: Your plots won't produce next round

Mega Byte: Only energy plots for you will produce...

Mega Byte: Even food = full turn

Mega Byte: even energy = all plots produce

Samvega: Ah

Mega Byte: - energy loss of product

Mega Byte: - food, loss of time

Round 4 of 12

ChittyChangChong: phew

Mega Byte: Bugger

Mega Byte: Too early for that.

Mega Byte: Vega... economic tip: Buy LOW sell HIGH

Mega Byte: CCC you live in fear of Glac-elves???

Mega Byte: :)

ChittyChangChong: perhaps

Mega Byte: hehe

Mega Byte: You and Prez

Round 5 of 12

ChittyChangChong: oh that's wrong

Mega Byte: hehe

Samvega: Ive got $61. Yes! I am awesome.

Mega Byte: Piete is most in fear of elves though... He has glack-elfPhobia

Samvega: Awesomely Terrible

Samvega: Why no crystite? Bad investment?

Mega Byte: Its always a gamble

Mega Byte: I'm behind, so playing agressive to try to make up the gap.

Mega Byte: It could backfire on me.

Mega Byte: Press space vega

Mega Byte: Makes production animation skipped

Mega Byte: and game goes faster

Samvega: Ah

Mega Byte: But we ALL got to press

Samvega: Thanks for tip

Mega Byte: AGAIN!!!

ChittyChangChong: nice

Mega Byte: soso

Mega Byte: hehe

Mega Byte: Bugger

Mega Byte: I hate being in the lead

Round 6 of 12

ChittyChangChong: damn that computer

Samvega: What impact does smithore have on production? Any?

Mega Byte: Mules

Mega Byte: No smithore, no mules

Mega Byte: :)

Round 7 of 12

Samvega: What!! I didn't know you could move development

Mega Byte: Man, it would suck if you couldn't move them

Round 8 of 12

ChittyChangChong: that sucks

Mega Byte: Nice...

Mega Byte: :D

Samvega: yowzers

Mega Byte: Now I have cash...

Mega Byte: It will get interesting from here.

ChittyChangChong: yes it will

Mega Byte: Nice, but it won't help...

Round 9 of 12

ChittyChangChong: what i cant believe is how there's been a lack of negative events, even though you've been in first forever

ChittyChangChong: i always get have my mule run away, or lose land

Round 10 of 12

Mega Byte: Perfect

Mega Byte: Thanks

Mega Byte: lalalala

Round 11 of 12

Samvega: Thanks for enduring my pathetic attempt at playing mule for the first time again guys

ChittyChangChong: hehe

ChittyChangChong: you did totally fine

ChittyChangChong: what kinda sucks is that if you dont use the method of manipulating the ore market

ChittyChangChong: you cant win, or at least have extremely low odds at winning

ChittyChangChong: kinda makes the game not fun

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: The key is knowing WHEN to do so.

ChittyChangChong: even then, why do anything else?

Samvega: All has to do with selling ore when MULES are low, right?

ChittyChangChong: yup

ChittyChangChong: see, the ore is related to the production of mules

Mega Byte: With or without low MULE

ChittyChangChong: so if there's no ore, no mules right

ChittyChangChong: when mules get really low, the ore price goes up

ChittyChangChong: but as mega byte is showing you again

ChittyChangChong: if you buy out the market times and again

Mega Byte: Pretty much

ChittyChangChong: you can manipulate the market

Mega Byte: Yup

ChittyChangChong: so if you're host, you have the best ping and can get to the auction lines faster than anyone else

ChittyChangChong: so, you're shit out of luck

Mega Byte: As I said, buy low, sell high

Mega Byte: Low can still be 125 if high is something more than that...

ChittyChangChong: i discovered this game for the first time about a week ago

ChittyChangChong: was an absolute blast

ChittyChangChong: then i discovered the ore trick...thought i was a genius...

Mega Byte: WAS?

ChittyChangChong: yea, it's the same old shit strategy now

ChittyChangChong: if you go after anything else, *anything else*, you lose

Mega Byte: Not true

Mega Byte: I have one in Crystite too

Mega Byte: But scores are not as high

ChittyChangChong: you cant tell me going after crystite gets you 40k by round 9 or 10

Round 12 of 12

ChittyChangChong: so you see now samvega

ChittyChangChong: he's buying out all the mules

ChittyChangChong: to drive up the demand for ore

ChittyChangChong: mix, stir, repeat

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: Sorry...

Mega Byte: But we will have a GREAT colony score

Mega Byte: Maybe high score...

Mega Byte: 217k is top

Mega Byte: CCC would have been better if you had more energy

Mega Byte: You would have produced more

Mega Byte: No need to sell last round guys

ChittyChangChong: i was busy talking to my friend on aim

Mega Byte: asset = cash value

ChittyChangChong: didnt see when the auctio nwas

Mega Byte: I think this will be a personal best though.

Mega Byte: Thanks.

Mega Byte: Vega

Mega Byte: No need to sell

Mega Byte: Value is same

Mega Byte: and in fact, if you sell engery or food, you lose money

Samvega: ah

Mega Byte: asset = $$$

Mega Byte: value

Mega Byte: This is our "performance review" :)

Mega Byte: Nice

Mega Byte: Just what I want... NO energy

Game Over. Your progress has been saved.

Mega Byte: Great game everyone

Mega Byte: WOW

Mega Byte: My first game over 200k!

Mega Byte: But 5k short of the top score.
