Round 1 of 12
gtp_tj: guess we were both eyeing that same set of mountain plots
jmwells2: yep...you can nab the other one...i'll get some up top
gtp_tj: nah... go ahead and grab those around you. I'll move up to the others
gtp_tj: stocking up while its cheap. I'm going for a food plot this time.
Round 2 of 12
gtp_tj: was trying to sell to you... but DAN ran up the price first
jmwells2: no problem
Round 3 of 12
gtp_tj: just sell a few so we have mules
jmwells2: sorry...missed it
gtp_tj: doh didn't sell enough... we will only have 4 mules
gtp_tj: 3 mules
Round 4 of 12
Round 5 of 12
gtp_tj: doh... I was too quick on the trigger
jmwells2: dangit
gtp_tj: so close!
gtp_tj: one thing to speed you up a bit. You don't have to have the mule totally on the spot before hitting space.
gtp_tj: Just get your guy on it, and hit space. looks like you were touching when time ran out.
jmwells2: alright...i'll keep that in mind...that was a costly mistake
gtp_tj: u wanna buy?
jmwells2: guess i should have
Round 6 of 12
gtp_tj: one trick I've seen people do on land auctions, is wait till the last few seconds, then full speed ahead. once you get the lead, you keep it, and get the auction.
jmwells2: alright...i wasn't overly interested in the land, just wanted to run it up for the AI
gtp_tj: crase arsed mules
gtp_tj: crazy
gtp_tj: energy will be expensive next time. might be worth adding energy plots temporarily.
Round 7 of 12
gtp_tj: nice
jmwells2: thanks
gtp_tj: someone said that only bad events happen to 1st place, and only good to 3 & 4. 2nd is a toss up.
jmwells2: i was wondering about that...i played a 12 round game against the computer earlier and every bad thing happened to me, but nothing good
gtp_tj: sweet
gtp_tj: buy buy buy
jmwells2: buy or not?
gtp_tj: might leave 5 or 6
gtp_tj: should have 8 mules next round
gtp_tj: I called that one wrong!
gtp_tj: I thought price would be way up
jmwells2: i needed more just to get by
gtp_tj: but I guess demand was low with everyone adding energy plots
gtp_tj: sorry
Round 8 of 12
gtp_tj: OUCH
jmwells2: no kidding
gtp_tj: fire fire fire :)
gtp_tj: what is the ping time from your side?
jmwells2: 100
gtp_tj: 100 is not great, but not horrible either
jmwells2: i think that's the lowest i've seen it
gtp_tj: I've seen 60-70. I was playing with a guy from Austalia last night, and it wsa 370-410
Round 9 of 12
jmwells2: wow
gtp_tj: buy buy buy
Round 10 of 12
jmwells2: i got hosed
gtp_tj: I think I broke my space bar. :)
jmwells2: i was trying too
jmwells2: thanks
gtp_tj: free the mules!
jmwells2: i;'m sure he appreciated it
gtp_tj: this will take a while
gtp_tj: money money money MOONEEEEY
jmwells2: they keep taking it from me so i better get it while i can
Round 11 of 12
jmwells2: quite ammusing
gtp_tj: free the rest
gtp_tj: will screw the AI's
gtp_tj: and drive up demand again! :)
gtp_tj: dang it... we need mules again
gtp_tj: should leave 10 mules
gtp_tj: if we have extras we can free them
jmwells2: should work
Round 12 of 12
jmwells2: bout time
gtp_tj: finally some good luck
gtp_tj: most of the games I've played with others, haven't been as cooperative. More cutthroat
gtp_tj: But I think we will have killer scores!
jmwells2: yeah, i'm sure the people playing this are trying to beat the tar out of everyone else. What are the high scores?
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
gtp_tj: highest personal is 153K
gtp_tj: but 40+ is a good personal score
gtp_tj: highest colony score is 234K
jmwells2: how in the world did someone get 153k?
gtp_tj: not sure... I think maybe they manipulated things a bit (kicked off players, played against AI's... dunno)
gtp_tj: http://www.planetmule.com/hi-score-players
jmwells2: interesting
gtp_tj: u can see the games, logs, etc
gtp_tj: for any game.
gtp_tj: http://www.planetmule.com/hi-score-game/game?game_id=12622
gtp_tj: thats the game we just played
jmwells2: cool
gtp_tj: that score of mine is #9 on the scoreboard for personal scores
jmwells2: not too shabby
gtp_tj: and urs was #25
jmwells2: decent
gtp_tj: our colony score is #26
gtp_tj: coolness!
jmwells2: yup
gtp_tj: I think I'm gonna catch a few winks before tonights activities
gtp_tj: u wanna play again sometime?
jmwells2: yeah, i was kinda thinking the same thing.
jmwells2: Definitely...maybe sometime tomorrow
jmwells2: if you're gonna be around
gtp_tj: ok... about the same time? 1:30ish
gtp_tj: I should be here
jmwells2: should work...as far as i know we don't have any plans
gtp_tj: sounds like a plan
jmwells2: have fun tonight...later
gtp_tj: next time we can try being a bit more cutthroat, or play with others, or whatever u want
gtp_tj: l8r
jmwells2: sounds good
