gtp_tj: lets rolllllll
jwclark: righto
gtp_tj: ok... short how-to
gtp_tj: u need food, so u have time to place mules on your land.
gtp_tj: u need energy so your mules can produce.
gtp_tj: mountiain is best for smithore (smithore is used to produce mules)
gtp_tj: river is best for food
gtp_tj: desert is best for energy.
gtp_tj: crystite is random.
gtp_tj: (price is random).
gtp_tj: everything elses prices is supply/demand based
gtp_tj: max smithore price is 230. I buy below 200, and sell at 230.
gtp_tj: someone described it as smithore==oil, and crystite==crack.
gtp_tj: les go.
gtp_tj: lets
jwclark: cool
gtp_tj: wes hit space
Round 1 of 12
gtp_tj: look for blinking blue dot on a mntn. then hit space bar there to catch the wampus
gtp_tj: lower left
gtp_tj: right
jwclark: damn it
gtp_tj: move up higher on that mntn
jwclark: ok
gtp_tj: BILL got a desert plot (best for energy)
gtp_tj: what do the ping times look like for you guys (bottom edge of the window)
gtp_tj: if everyone hits space here.. then production speeds up.
gtp_tj: crystite prices are random between 50 and 150
gtp_tj: wes, you probably don't want to sell more
gtp_tj: now u won't have enough time
jwclark: 147ms ping
gtp_tj: not great, but not too bad
jwclark: we are on wes's shitty wireless
jwclark: haha
gtp_tj: jwclark in last place. haha. :)
wlindauer: didn't realize it would sell that much
Round 2 of 12
jwclark: i'm a n00b...what do you expect
gtp_tj: it forcibly kicks you back up at 0 (your limit), but will let you sell extra if you really want to.
gtp_tj: oh and the dot doesn't have to show to catch him... just keep hitting space on that mntn till you do.
gtp_tj: go to pub
gtp_tj: thats due to your food shortage wes.
wlindauer: what happen to the mule i bought?
gtp_tj: u lost it
gtp_tj: jwc... your player wasn't on the plot when you hit space, so your mule ran off
gtp_tj: u were just barely off the edge
jwclark: damn
jwclark: stupid game...ha
gtp_tj: go down to buy
gtp_tj: would have sped up, if you hit down to declare as a buyer
gtp_tj: jwc needs 2.
gtp_tj: looks like u only got 1
jwclark: yeah
gtp_tj: u may want to get 1 extra on energy
gtp_tj: seems like the AIs always due (I assume for the energy needed for 1 extra mule in the next round)
gtp_tj: s/due/do
Round 3 of 12
gtp_tj: asshole got it from me
jwclark: rock on
gtp_tj: go
gtp_tj: u already had mining on the first plot.
gtp_tj: don't have to replace each round
gtp_tj: cool... getting low on mules. smithore price will go up
gtp_tj: u had time to place another mule on your 2nd plot wes.
gtp_tj: hit space
gtp_tj: don't sell yet
gtp_tj: 230 next round... but we will only have 1 mule for this round
Round 4 of 12
gtp_tj: 3 & 4th place can get good random events happen to them
gtp_tj: 1st only gets bad
gtp_tj: 2nd is a toss up (good or bad)
gtp_tj: wampus and pub are your only options
gtp_tj: nice
gtp_tj: sell sell sell
gtp_tj: we can all sell at the same time... no need to wait
jwclark: i wasn't sure if i should keep some
gtp_tj: i don't at 230. next round if price is <200, then buy as much as u can. (if you have cash)
gtp_tj: u need food jwc
gtp_tj: u could have bought 2 more from the store
jwclark: ok
gtp_tj: jwc up to 2nd
Round 5 of 12
jwclark: oh yeah!
gtp_tj: wasn't sure I would have enough time to place that 2nd mule
gtp_tj: hey... who's the mother?
jwclark: your mom!
gtp_tj: u have to be on the plot, not ur mule
jwclark: so did i just replace my smithore with energy/
jwclark: ha, wes did what i did b4
gtp_tj: yeah, then sold the mule back to the store
gtp_tj: but he did it twice
jwclark: wtf?
gtp_tj: heh
gtp_tj: put a crystite mine on that one
jwclark: cool
gtp_tj: i recommend buy. AI will sell
gtp_tj: was waitin for ya
jwclark: got confused
gtp_tj: u on a diet?
jwclark: yep
Round 6 of 12
jwclark: stupid AI
gtp_tj: 1 mule left for wes
gtp_tj: try not to let this one run off
gtp_tj: pub is about all u can do
gtp_tj: blah
gtp_tj: sell sell sell
gtp_tj: payday
jwclark: nice
jwclark: rich bitch :0
jwclark: :)
gtp_tj: haha
gtp_tj: food price will go up... store is dry
Round 7 of 12
gtp_tj: doh
gtp_tj: nice
gtp_tj: next tip... adjacent plots of the same type produce more. (like wes's 2 food plots)
wlindauer: so it helps to OCD
gtp_tj: wes has an energy shortage, so one of his mntn plots won't produce
gtp_tj: buy buy buy
gtp_tj: (smithore that is)
gtp_tj: woohoo
gtp_tj: might sell again
gtp_tj: yep
gtp_tj: sell
gtp_tj: if the store still had stock of smithore, then price would have been down, and we could buy
gtp_tj: but with the fire, the price stayed up at 230
gtp_tj: I usually sell over 100 here
gtp_tj: but u run the risk of space pirates stealing crystite
jwclark: haha
Round 8 of 12
gtp_tj: wes is cornering the energy market
gtp_tj: this round, you guys go buy smithore (buy the store, buy from the AI)
gtp_tj: and we can run the price up again. and see if we can get you guys caught up on score.
jwclark: cool
gtp_tj: doh
gtp_tj: might wanna keep $200 or so in cash... maybe more.
jwclark: damnit, didn't wanna sell that much
gtp_tj: that will leave us 5 mules
gtp_tj: each mule takes 2 bars of smithore to build
gtp_tj: expensive steak
Round 9 of 12
gtp_tj: whew... expensive land. I usualy don't go over 600 for land.
gtp_tj: hahah
jwclark: ha, dumbness
gtp_tj: does offworld == bldg5
jwclark: yes
gtp_tj: screw u BILL!
gtp_tj: dang crazy ass mules
jwclark: ha
gtp_tj: sell sell sell
gtp_tj: money money money --- MOOOONEEEEEEEEEEE
gtp_tj: nice price... sell jwc
gtp_tj: nice
jwclark: uh huh
gtp_tj: wes is about to pass the AI
Round 10 of 12
wlindauer: i feel so bad for you
jwclark: that was just pocket change
gtp_tj: haha
gtp_tj: weird lag issue there
gtp_tj: I was trying to set a couple mules free (increase demand)
gtp_tj: buy below 200 on smithore
gtp_tj: dang it
jwclark: ha ha!
gtp_tj: suz to be 1st place
gtp_tj: sux
gtp_tj: normally I would try to get up there first and buy all I could.
gtp_tj: trying to let u guys beat the AI!
jwclark: thx
gtp_tj: me hungryyyyyeeeee
Round 11 of 12
jwclark: can ya spare some change?
jwclark: *rattles cup*
gtp_tj: damn bugs
jwclark: again?
wlindauer: f u bill
gtp_tj: food is expensive
jwclark: damnit, could've got more $$$ for that
gtp_tj: for this last round you don't need to produce food or energy, sou you could convert some plots to smithore.
gtp_tj: wes in 2nd
Round 12 of 12
gtp_tj: one note u can't put smithore on the river
gtp_tj: nice
gtp_tj: no need to buy or sell on this last auction
gtp_tj: score is the same either way
gtp_tj: wes just likes $$$$$
jwclark: and the cock
gtp_tj: bwahahah
gtp_tj: auction clock runs slower when u move
jwclark: yeah, wes was just bitching at me for that
gtp_tj: heh
Game Over. Your progress has been saved.
gtp_tj: woohoo
gtp_tj: 30-40K for a individual score is good
jwclark: last place, wooooooooo!
gtp_tj: 100K for a colony score is good.\
gtp_tj: we set a new record colony score last night with 250K
jwclark: nice
gtp_tj: so what do you guys think about the game?
gtp_tj: up for another one?
jwclark: pretty cool game....i need to get better at it though
wlindauer: i think i like red alert better
wlindauer: a little bit faster
gtp_tj: we could play just us 3, so the AI won't hose up things
jwclark: sure, lets do it
gtp_tj: wes?
wlindauer: i guess
gtp_tj: k
gtp_tj: I'll set up another one.
