gtp_tj: hear me now

wlindauer: does this work?

wlindauer: yeah

gtp_tj: cool

gtp_tj: It is a bit odd to have DAN & BILL as the AI names

Round 1 of 6

gtp_tj: I may have to bail in a few... Beth & kids just got home. Thought they would be out longer.

gtp_tj: hit space to grab a plot

wlindauer: its ok

gtp_tj: go get a mule

gtp_tj: out energy on it ($50)

gtp_tj: then put it on ur plot

wlindauer: where are the mules?

gtp_tj: it the mule corral ($100) bottom right corner

wlindauer: oh ok

gtp_tj: did u see me & the AI's get them?

wlindauer: yes

wlindauer: do I need to grab something else while im in there?

gtp_tj: only 5 buttons to use on this game. up/left/right/down and space

gtp_tj: not in the mule corral... after you get a mule, you have to outfit it with (food/energy/mining)

gtp_tj: buy 2 units of food here.

gtp_tj: go up

gtp_tj: u need to buy from the store

gtp_tj: u will have less time next round to place mules, because u are 2 food units short.

gtp_tj: AI is selling energy to the store right there.

gtp_tj: hey... ur not last

Round 2 of 6

wlindauer: i should be

gtp_tj: clustering plots together helps.

gtp_tj: dang... I should have bought that one... 3 mountains is best for smithore

gtp_tj: good job!

gtp_tj: hurry

gtp_tj: nice

gtp_tj: its possible to place 3 mules during a turn, if u have a full food supply

wlindauer: so food gives you time?

gtp_tj: yep

gtp_tj: the wampus shows up on unclaimed mountain plots

gtp_tj: catch him with the space bar for 100/200/300 extra $$$

gtp_tj: my plan with smithore... is buy under $200, and sell at 230 (max price)

gtp_tj: price will go up as we use all the mules

gtp_tj: see the store has 7 mules left, but no smithore left

gtp_tj: u need 1 food unit

gtp_tj: or u can buy a boat load

wlindauer: wasn't sure how to buy just one

gtp_tj: just move back down away from the seller

gtp_tj: looks like jwc may be on wave now

Round 3 of 6

gtp_tj: that bastard BILL took the plot I wanted

gtp_tj: thats a desert plot (best for energy)

gtp_tj: ur turn

gtp_tj: place the energy mule on the plot with no mts

gtp_tj: mntns

gtp_tj: and the mining one on the plot with 3 mountains

wlindauer: can i move them?

gtp_tj: its ok... u can pick them up and move them later

gtp_tj: yeah.. just hit space

wlindauer: ok

gtp_tj: to get the wampus, just look for the blue dot on a mountain, move there and hit space

gtp_tj: nice only 1 mule left... should raise prices

gtp_tj: dang earthquake

gtp_tj: ouch... no $$$

gtp_tj: next round prices should hit 230

gtp_tj: jwc says he is installing now.

gtp_tj: I'm doing it to get cash

gtp_tj: buy energy!!

gtp_tj: u need 2 more

gtp_tj: 3 maybe

gtp_tj: we're both strapped for cash

Round 4 of 6

gtp_tj: I need to go help Beth.... I'm gonna try to kick myself, and let an AI take over.. might kill the game though

wlindauer: its ok...i will quit too

gtp_tj: doh, can't kick myself.

wlindauer: just stop the game

wlindauer left the game
