cuesight: hello
maskdbandt: hi
maskdbandt: please join
cuesight: first time playing MULE in, like, 20 years
cuesight joined the game in slot 2
maskdbandt: heh awesome
maskdbandt: i've only played like 3 games on here
cuesight: how long does a game take? It has been so long I don't remember.
maskdbandt: i actually have a c64 so i have played about a year or two ago... every once in a blue moon...
maskdbandt: we'll wait a few minutes for a couple more if you are ok or if you want to start with computer, we can
cuesight: I just heard the MULE theme music in the game SPORE.
maskdbandt: this version takes about 1.5 hrs
cuesight: Let's see if we can get some others.
cuesight: I'm free.
maskdbandt: if people skip where possible it helps... you can hit button to skip past production phase for instance
maskdbandt: ok, cool
maskdbandt: did you play commodore version 20 years ago then?
cuesight: yup
cuesight: More than 20.
maskdbandt: i was pretty excited when i heard about this... used to play with my brother when we were kids
maskdbandt: yeah more than 20 for me too other than just to try it out
maskdbandt: there are a few subtle diffs in this version... pirates can come more than 1x
maskdbandt: there are higher energy plots (the desert spots)
maskdbandt: and i don't remember the smithore being able to be bought out, but that is perhaps because
maskdbandt: of the max of 100 smithore before spoilage
maskdbandt: wampus are easier to catch and appear in mountains of unclaimed spots (and you must hit button)
maskdbandt: while on them whereas commodore version you just walked over them i thought
cuesight: holy crap, maybe I need to read the instructions. So much of that sounded foreign.
maskdbandt: it'll come back to you i think
maskdbandt: but yeah if you do a quick read on the internet somewhere perhaps that would help
maskdbandt: i never even knew some of the rules when i played on c64 years ago... i had a ripped off copy :)
cuesight: http://www.planetmule.com/how-to-play
maskdbandt: also once we start playing, it helps to not have too much other stuff running in the background.. lot of times it causes hangs from people
cuesight: OK. 1 sec, I need to put a log on the fire
maskdbandt: i think it's prob fine as long as you don't have streaming video downloading :) heh
maskdbandt: no prob
maskdbandt: what is the game SPORE? i haven't heard of it
cuesight: I was just about to look for a C64 Mac emulator when I found this.
cuesight: It is made by the people that did The Sims and other titles. Check it out; it is interesting!
maskdbandt: oh yeah i will have to... i like those but haven't played them in so many years
cuesight: It has several stages, each almost like a different game genre.
maskdbandt: this must be a pretty low amt of people time to get in... last week i was able to start a game at this time though
maskdbandt: that sounds cool
cuesight: There is a RTS part, and a part similar to Star Control.
maskdbandt: we can always go ahead and start if you don't want to wait... i'm fine either way
maskdbandt: star control was pretty fun
A.N.D.Y. visits
cuesight: Hi Andy.
A.N.D.Y.: hi
A.N.D.Y.: please no ai ok
maskdbandt: joining us?
maskdbandt: ok
maskdbandt: then let's wait for 1 more
maskdbandt: i prefer no A.I. too
A.N.D.Y. joined the game in slot 3
maskdbandt: you both have decent pings?
cuesight: It is cool how they came out with this for multiple platforms
cuesight: mine is going from 80 to 110... how is that?
maskdbandt: it's just your ping to the ip addr that's hosting the game
maskdbandt: 80-110 is completely fine.
maskdbandt: i hope someone else comes along quickly
maskdbandt: frustrating to wait
cuesight: I was telling Maskd that I haven't played this in 20+ years... I'm probably gonna suck =)
cuesight: (reading instructions again now, and it is all sounding familiar)
maskdbandt: yeah it's pretty quick to pick up again ... like riding a bike
maskdbandt: i was surprised some of my friends had heard of it when i mentioned this new online multiplayer version
cuesight: Hmmm, maybe I should go post it on FB...
maskdbandt: heh that's how i found out about it when my brother posted it on FB
maskdbandt: people that haven't heard of it will be what the f* is that
maskdbandt: it's funny how it's a lot of the same people in here though... i've played with 3 or 4 people in the lobby before
cuesight: Looks like someone put a lot of work into this for somehting that is free and has no advertising... or am I missing something?

cuesight: the word means "feces."
cuesight: "holy crap" means "wow"
cuesight: andy?
vox: holy fuck flaps
cuesight: "crap" would be a good thing to say now.
maskdbandt: lol
maskdbandt: that's one of the issues here in this game
maskdbandt: with the auction bug
A.N.D.Y.: lol
cuesight: maybe I shoulda gone into real estate
maskdbandt: i sholudn't have sold my food... didn't know i'd get so many plots

maskdbandt: nope, no buyer
maskdbandt: andy ran it up
maskdbandt: i would've paid 2k for it

A.N.D.Y.: sorry my engl. is not good
A.N.D.Y.: lol
maskdbandt: sorry, no prob... you should've been able to get it before me but the plot selection has some lag

maskdbandt: wow, andy is playing rough
maskdbandt: lol
cuesight: wampas is gone rtight?
maskdbandt: yeah no more wampus
maskdbandt: once all plots are claimed with mountains
