Round 3 of 12
Mega Byte: Well that blows
Mega Byte: :)
boodxx: oh - you can let the mule loose!
Mega Byte: press space bar to skip production animation
Mega Byte: :)
boodxx: oh yeah - sorry
Mega Byte: If we don't sell this round, price will go to 230
Mega Byte: Sell your crystite and get som $$
Mega Byte: Wish I had some to sell. :)
Mega Byte: I'm going to kind of "miss a turn" next turn, as I won't have food.
Mega Byte: Oh, its bad when they get a food lock on...
Mega Byte: We'll need to get a food plot in or they will murder us.
Mega Byte: If you can, it is a good idea to keep 1 spare, in the event you get an extra plot.
Mega Byte: Wow, how is it that I"m in first!????
Round 4 of 12
Mega Byte: Wampus only appears in mountain plots that aren't yet claimed.
Mega Byte: So watch those spaces.
boodxx: ahhhh
Mega Byte: It never comes in a plot that is claimed.
boodxx: been a long time since i played this
Mega Byte: It's a little different.
Mega Byte: That wasn't the case in the old game, but is true in this one.
Mega Byte: Sweet.
boodxx: woha
Mega Byte: Food plot coming my way... :)
Mega Byte: You should keep your spare one
Round 5 of 12
Mega Byte: Paid for that one in blood.
Mega Byte: :)
boodxx: :(
Mega Byte: Damn bugs. :)
Mega Byte: I could have used the extra $$$s right now.
Round 6 of 12
Mega Byte: What is a Kazinga anyway... :)
Mega Byte: That hurt...
Mega Byte: Wish it would stop messing with my food.
Mega Byte: 2 turns that I couldn't complete.
Round 7 of 12
boodxx: might be pirates next round
Mega Byte: Yup
Mega Byte: Crystite is too risky most of the time.
Mega Byte: I sometimes use a few plots to have something to sell when I want to hoard crystite.
Mega Byte: smithore I mean
Mega Byte: Oops
Mega Byte: That's what I get for buying and typing..
Mega Byte: Guess I don't need food the rest of the game... :)
Round 8 of 12
Mega Byte: Wampus grounds are all gone now.. :(
Mega Byte: I"m giong to take a hit here.
Mega Byte: bugger
Mega Byte: :(
Mega Byte: Oh well... still plenty I guess.
Round 9 of 12
Mega Byte: Oops
Mega Byte: No MULES
boodxx: dumb bots
Mega Byte: Indeed!
Mega Byte: :)
Mega Byte: I don't like to play with more than 1 usually.
Mega Byte: Save the food I guess...
Mega Byte: Wow 2 meteors
boodxx: ok you won, i give up ;)
Mega Byte: Hah
Mega Byte: Want to go for a rediculous score then?
Mega Byte: I can tell you how we manipulate it, get smithore price up to something ungodly, like 2000
Mega Byte: We could get the MULE High Score (highest ever) if we work together on it now.
Mega Byte: Interesteed?
boodxx: ok
Mega Byte: Cool.
Mega Byte: In round 11 we're going to get the price up
Mega Byte: What I'll do is buy out the store in Round 10, and we let all the mules go.
boodxx: ok
Mega Byte: In round 11, you have at least 1 bar of smithore, and you sell it to me at the last second, after I run the price up to as high as I can get it.
Round 10 of 12
Mega Byte: Important to keep high food volume
Mega Byte: So we can let mules go that are left if we need to.
Mega Byte: And we want to run up and buy as high from the bots as possible next turn if they sell SO
Mega Byte: Doesn't matter which of us gets it, and then buy the store out.
boodxx: ok
Mega Byte: So that at turn 11, there is none.
Mega Byte: Then, I'll buy out the bots, since I have most money, and run up. If they have a lot, sell me lots of them 10 or 15 or as many as they sold me at the high price.
Mega Byte: When it gets around 1500 and mid through the "tick" noise, that's when you'll want to sell to me.
Mega Byte: If we miss the selling part, SO won't be worth squat.
Mega Byte: Excellent
boodxx: hmm ok i think
Mega Byte: Just what we needed actually
Mega Byte: Dont sell\
boodxx: cant type and read and stuff at the same time
Mega Byte: Yeah its hard
Mega Byte: That's why I have been setting strategy now, as we go.
Mega Byte: Soyou know what to expect.
boodxx: k
Mega Byte: Nice crystite
Mega Byte: Sell that
Mega Byte: Never goes above 140
Mega Byte: Buy enough food for full turn
Mega Byte: oy are fine
Mega Byte: Trying to buy enough for 2 rounds, so I don't need next turn.
Mega Byte: Ok.
Mega Byte: So here, you want to put in as much mining as possible. SO will give you best return in turn 12, after we execute our plot on this next auction round.
Mega Byte: So I recommend it.
Mega Byte: Plus if pirates come, this time, it won't hurt.
boodxx: ok
Mega Byte: And you get best score you can get, rasigng the total score.
Mega Byte: We're after someting over 217,000
Mega Byte: BUT
Mega Byte: Make sure you buy enough energy in this next turn to keep all your plots powered too.
Mega Byte: I will help with that, in that I won't buy any more than I need.
Mega Byte: Ready? Remember what to do at auction time?
boodxx: yup
Mega Byte: You stay up top, I'll go down and buy all things being sold.
Mega Byte: Cool.
Mega Byte: Let's do it!
Round 11 of 12
Mega Byte: Great plan
boodxx: phew
Mega Byte: Nice one.
Mega Byte: This is going to be cool.
Mega Byte: I would like another quake so they don't produce so much...
boodxx: i stay up
Mega Byte: yes
boodxx: hahah i see
boodxx: sell
Mega Byte: AAAHHHH
Mega Byte: \YOu didn't sell to me!!!!
boodxx: was i supposedto sell?
Mega Byte: YES!
boodxx: oh sorrt
Mega Byte: It won't make the price otherwise...
boodxx: sorry
Mega Byte: that's what I was explaining to you...
Mega Byte: :(
Mega Byte: Bugger...
Mega Byte: I have always wanted to do that it was perfect.
boodxx: i got caught yup in the excitment
Mega Byte: You just needed to come down and sell to me.
Mega Byte: :(
Mega Byte: That was why I explained everything ahead...
Mega Byte: You needed to buy...
boodxx: sory
Mega Byte: Well, it was still over 230 and store has 0 and mules are 0
Mega Byte: So, we'll see what the end price is.
Mega Byte: It could still be very high since there are no mules.
Mega Byte: Or it may be capped... dunno
Round 12 of 12
Mega Byte: STUPID bot
Mega Byte: :)
Mega Byte: I've never seen it about 230, but from what I understand of the game, I believe it is possible to make it (or at least the asset value, which is what matters in round 12) higher.
Mega Byte: Convert your upper left energy plot too
Mega Byte: :
Mega Byte: :
Mega Byte: :
Mega Byte: Too late
boodxx: doh
Mega Byte: Would have got you about another $800
Mega Byte: Espcially if you moved it to the mountian next to it.
Mega Byte: Good production.
Mega Byte: No need to sell on last round as asset = sell value
boodxx: ok
Mega Byte: Still, 230 at final auction is nice price...
Mega Byte: And I have.....
Mega Byte: 271 units.
boodxx: noice
Mega Byte: Yeah
Mega Byte: Thanks for the help though.
Mega Byte: It did make it possible.
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
boodxx: heheh
Mega Byte: Well, we still go the maximum colony rating from the federation. :)
Mega Byte: Nice.
boodxx: yay
Mega Byte: Wow... first time my score has been more than 1/2 total colony.
Mega Byte: :0
Mega Byte: Thanks for the game.
Mega Byte: Cheers.
boodxx: night
