Round 1 of 12

Mega Byte: Cool. I'm originally from Indiana (born in Indianapolis) but I live in Tokyo, Japan now.

zubby: I grew up in Kokomo

Mega Byte: Cool.

Mega Byte: Thanks

Mega Byte: Better than nothing...

Mega Byte: :)

zubby: Don't like to be too ruthless

Mega Byte: Me either.

Mega Byte: That's good to know.

Round 2 of 12

Mega Byte: Nice one

Mega Byte: Wow...

Mega Byte: No production in an energy site...

Mega Byte: That's unheard of.

zubby: Yup... we are definetly hurting

Mega Byte: Only round 2

Mega Byte: We'll catch up.

Mega Byte: I hate leading early.

zubby: Plenty of food though

Mega Byte: At least we got them to sell to the store...

Mega Byte: That's a big help.

Mega Byte: Keeps them from hogging the price up.

Round 3 of 12

zubby: Ouch!

Mega Byte: Sorry, being thrifty...

Mega Byte: No cash. :)

zubby: Got the same problem

Mega Byte: This is what is going to hurt... :(

Mega Byte: Thanks

Mega Byte: Totally sucks that I produced 0 energy on my last plot.

Mega Byte: That seems like a bug.

zubby: Somethings events happen that make a game VERY frustrating

Round 4 of 12

Mega Byte: Yeah. Agre 100%!

Mega Byte: Did you play old-time mule as well?

Mega Byte: Or new to this one.

zubby: Atari 800 version... new to this one

Mega Byte: Cool.

Mega Byte: I played C-64 version

zubby: Last guy I Played with used C64 too

Mega Byte: Cool.

Mega Byte: This is a new version today. Very differnt game from what it was a couple weeks ago.

zubby: I just found it yesterday... running 1.2.0 version

Mega Byte: How did you find it?

Mega Byte: Seems like a HUGE more poeple today

zubby: Slashdot

Mega Byte: Hmmm

Mega Byte: I think they found the right "site" to announce it on.

Mega Byte: Because the # of users jumped by like 50x

zubby: You seem to have cornered the marked on the metal

Mega Byte: I'm actually involved in the design of the next version.

Mega Byte: now I got some cash...

Mega Byte: Wish I could hold out for a couple more turns before selling, but need the money now...

zubby: Me too

zubby: Do you program... or how are you involved?

Mega Byte: Wow...

Mega Byte: Just can't believe energy.

Round 5 of 12

Mega Byte: Bugger

Mega Byte: Not enough time

Mega Byte: And in retrospect, probably should have stuck with energy for that plot anyway...

Mega Byte: Lame

Mega Byte: I am a developer, but I'm more on the design side on this one.

Mega Byte: User interface, and the like.

Mega Byte: As well as game mechanics.

zubby: How close to the original are you guys? Or do you know?

Mega Byte: Fairly close now.

Round 6 of 12

Mega Byte: Runnun my butt off on that one

Mega Byte: If I had been thinking, I'd have bought you out instead of selling to the store. :)

Mega Byte: Keep Smithore Price up higher longer.

Mega Byte: ST

zubby: ST?

Mega Byte: STARVING here. :)

Mega Byte: hehe

Round 7 of 12

zubby: Interesting tactic

Mega Byte: hehe

Mega Byte: I decided not to be too cutthroat too

Mega Byte: Well, that's the least of my worries...

Mega Byte: Sorry

Mega Byte: Didn't notice you came up

Mega Byte: I would ahve backed off and sold to you.

Mega Byte: One annoying thing I find.

zubby: I thought play had priority over the store...

Mega Byte: You can't interrput someone selling ot the store.

zubby: playER

zubby: hmm

Mega Byte: It should

Mega Byte: But not in this version.

Round 8 of 12

Mega Byte: So close...

Mega Byte: No wamps

Mega Byte: After all mountain plots taken

Mega Byte: FYI

zubby: Didn't know that

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: Didn't want to see you waste time looking

Mega Byte: Wow...

Mega Byte: Didn't need that...

Mega Byte: Sweet...

zubby: I suspect that move just won you the game

Mega Byte: Very possibly.

Mega Byte: I fear glack elves now... :)

Round 9 of 12

Mega Byte: Wow

Mega Byte: Almost made it! :)

Mega Byte: Nice...

Mega Byte: There we go

Mega Byte: Now the dash for crystite... :)

Mega Byte: Ore market is dead, unless the store burns again now.

zubby: Yup

Round 10 of 12

zubby: Doh... The Glac-Elves!

Mega Byte: Yup

Mega Byte: Could have been worse though...

Mega Byte: I don't mind now, as long as my plots produce some kind of good.

Mega Byte: Even 1 or 2 units.

Mega Byte: And paired plots, even at 0 production between them will get a bonus and at least produce something.

Mega Byte: Ore should still be over 100 for 1 round too, so won't be a total loss this turn.

Mega Byte: 95 will do

Mega Byte: Your strategy with crystite puzzels me though...

Mega Byte: You know it is not market driven? (The price)

Mega Byte: And you risk pirates...

zubby: I'm assuming it will go higher... and yes I do risk the pireate

Mega Byte: And over 50 it spoils

zubby: Learn something new everyday

Mega Byte: But 144 is max crystite price.

Mega Byte: And you passed it once.

Mega Byte: (Didn't sell)

zubby: And I keep learning

Mega Byte: PC sells at 96 or over, which is median price.

Mega Byte: Sure.

Mega Byte: Just wondered if you had some plan for it that I didn't know about.

Round 11 of 12

Mega Byte: Well, let's hope they DON'T come this round.

Mega Byte: Round 12, they can't.

Mega Byte: BAH

Mega Byte: I'd rather have pirats

zubby: Any cap on smitore?

Mega Byte: 50

Mega Byte: So I should stop...

Mega Byte: Or it won't help.

zubby: Spoil cap... I'm talking price cap

Mega Byte: 230

Mega Byte: MUCH higher than crystite.

Mega Byte: And Smithore market can be manipulated (as I did before)

Mega Byte: Crystite price is a guessing game.

Mega Byte: And risk to pirates.

Round 12 of 12

Mega Byte: Wow

Mega Byte: I'm all converted to Crystite now.

Mega Byte: Hope its worth more than ore! :)

Mega Byte: I like your character specie

zubby: Didn't know mining wasn't allow there

Mega Byte: It looks cool.

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: None of the versions has mining ever been allowed in the river.

Mega Byte: That goes back to Atari & C64

zubby: I didn't actually own the game... just got to play it when I went to see one of my Cousins

zubby: You killed us... good game

Mega Byte: Haha

Mega Byte: Thanks.

Mega Byte: See the production on crystite, even on 0 plots!?

Mega Byte: That rocked.

Mega Byte: ANd I did help bring up the end price.

Mega Byte: Nice

Mega Byte: Good crystite price for last round.

Mega Byte: Wow

Mega Byte: 70 production on 1 turn
