Clupea: get a mule
chain chomp8: yes please :P
chain chomp8: ok
bigheadzach: Just go in th pub
heberttb: go to pub!
Clupea: watch time counter
Clupea: watch other players
bigheadzach: gotta hit the button to get it
chain chomp8: thanks for the help :)
heberttb: chomp, you need to read teh FAQ, and video. you're gonna be lost in this game.
heberttb: you can do that now. there's alot of waiting inthe game
bigheadzach: I'm working on an excellent guide: http://www.planetmule.com/forum?topic=379.0
bigheadzach: But feel free to ask questions when it's not your turn :)
bigheadzach: You need enough food to have time to move in the development phase. The Store is selling 8 units, you need 3
Round 2 of 12
bigheadzach: far left!
bigheadzach: hit the button!
bigheadzach: (that's a change from the original)
heberttb: oh, crap.. that's why i've never captured one!
heberttb: thanks! i played the origional alot as a kid on com64
bigheadzach: Nice price, I'd sell
bigheadzach: Oh you bastard.
heberttb: sorry, had to do it......
Round 3 of 12
bigheadzach: go go go :)
heberttb: Boo!
heberttb: he's reading.. i hope
bigheadzach: I suspect chompy is taking a poop
heberttb: skim reading, apparently
chain chomp8: bah was reading FAQ
bigheadzach: Just watch, learn, and ask ?'s
heberttb: lol. get a mule, outfit it for food. and put it on the river plot
heberttb: then, next get mule, outfit for energy, then on a dessert plot
heberttb: well done, big
bigheadzach: I'll roll the dice on which plot doesn't get powered
bigheadzach: (I have two MULEs which aren't producing Energy, so they need Energy to run. I only have one Energy; this means one of them won't produce anything this round.)
chain chomp8: right
heberttb: love it
heberttb: smith price was excelent
bigheadzach: No worries, I'll keep that demand high
heberttb: hehe.. thanks! i'll hit you up with energy in return.
heberttb: sorry, had to do that last round.... hard to resisti
bigheadzach: Could've waited a bit longer for the big money though, just you watch
Round 4 of 12
bigheadzach: Since there are less than 8 MULEs in the Corral, last player goes first. Man those things are expensive :)
chain chomp8: ?
heberttb: both have to be on the plot completely
heberttb: then, hit space key
bigheadzach: Oh noes! Gotta be in the center before you install!
chain chomp8: damn
bigheadzach: the wampus is sneaky
bigheadzach: Wow, the blooms are really close together this time
bigheadzach: Flying catbugs wtf
heberttb: i think that polot was already high
chain chomp8: So, river = food, desert = energy, mountain = the gear symbol?
heberttb: yup
bigheadzach: Lots of empty plots, and only 4 MULEs....time to SELL SELL SELL
chain chomp8: smithore, that's the one
heberttb: OMG. never seen it that high. thanks for buying last time, big
bigheadzach: Crystite is underground so you have to assay for it, or take a gamble and install blindly
heberttb: come get me, way at the top price
bigheadzach: A minor setback...I'm sitting on some cash
Round 5 of 12
bigheadzach: I think green and purple will need to find the wampus before they can do any installing...or just wait quietly for the price to go back down
heberttb: oh crap... i thought i got that plot!
heberttb: LOL!
bigheadzach: A tad bit of color blindness?
heberttb: i need to pay more attention...
heberttb: no, just bad A.D.D.
heberttb: watching tv, snacking on chips.
bigheadzach: It's all good bro
heberttb: oh, and trying to play this game.
heberttb: :)
bigheadzach: Crystite prices are random between 50 and 150 - take your chances with the pirates if you hold onto it
bigheadzach: There's more in the store chompy!
heberttb: food=time
heberttb: let's sell to poor chomp
chain chomp8: thanks
heberttb: np
bigheadzach: Oops. Seriously, I wanted to switch back. I don't usually power-starve other players.
Round 6 of 12
heberttb: lol
heberttb: (sitting on a gold mine, doesn't know it)
bigheadzach: You need to install an Energy MULE, I think.
bigheadzach: Far right!
chain chomp8: ah
bigheadzach: Man, crystite's been good all game...
heberttb: and, someone is sitting on unproductive plots!
bigheadzach: Smithore's where it's at. Next turn :)
heberttb: chomp you need 1 extra energy
heberttb: in case of outage
bigheadzach: Sit on your now-valuable energy hoard :)
heberttb: not for long, i'll convert it later
heberttb: hehe
Round 7 of 12
bigheadzach: You know if we don't help Chompy we might lose :(
heberttb: true
chain chomp8: "we" or "he"?
heberttb: big, you need cash. good plot for you
bigheadzach: I'll get my cash this round :)
bigheadzach: And no, that wasn't an accident, what I did - you can "damage the supply" of MULEs to inflate the prices
heberttb: thank, god!
bigheadzach: right on chompy
bigheadzach: I smell pirates...
bigheadzach: Damn bugs, I hate em
heberttb: cash is the new black!
chain chomp8: Nice
bigheadzach: No more artificial shortages this game guys, I promise. We need to pull together to make $60,000
heberttb: agreed... colony will be bad
bigheadzach: Very important chompy - if the group doesn't make $60,000 total, *no one wins*
heberttb: i'll go down on price
heberttb: meet you at 45
Round 8 of 12
heberttb: and,so smith becomes a commodity. nice run on that one.
bigheadzach: MULEs are always priced at the value of 2 units of Smithore - that's how much Smithore it takes to make one (by the Store)
heberttb: didn't knwo that. thanks for tip
bigheadzach: It's all in my guide in the forums (eventually)
heberttb: is cyrstite high around a meteor deposit?
bigheadzach: No, just the plot it strikes
heberttb: i thought it was, but am realizing now it isn't
heberttb: pirates.... not a risk taker ;)
bigheadzach: Hehe, you have every right to ROFL when pirates attack next round. :)
heberttb: meet at bottom
heberttb: opps
bigheadzach: Just switch out something to Energy, if you're nervous
heberttb: nah, i need to change to cryst. i'll take a chance
Round 9 of 12
heberttb: why does the ai go around the store , instead of through it. you ever timed the difference?
bigheadzach: It's faster through the valley
heberttb: leave it to a computer to know that.
bigheadzach: Ok chompy, you've got some cash now - your best bet is to install Crystite MULEs on empty plots.
bigheadzach: Crystite can be the most valuable thing at this point.
heberttb: far left is good choice
chain chomp8: this one?
bigheadzach: yes
chain chomp8: thanks :)
bigheadzach: Only you have to be in the square for it to work.
bigheadzach: The MULE can hang on the border
bigheadzach: At least it wasn't pirates
heberttb: lol
heberttb: i'm selling
bigheadzach: I'll self half, and hedge
chain chomp8: oops XP
heberttb: let chomp have it
bigheadzach: You can hold 1 extra food without any spoiling
chain chomp8: Thanks
heberttb: meet halfway
Round 10 of 12
heberttb: big, you're a friggen machine
chain chomp8: does assaying cost money?
bigheadzach: Nope
bigheadzach: I'm only 126th, if that says anything about the 125 in front of me (they also play a bit more often instead of posting guides and moderating the forum)
chain chomp8: take that, wart worms!
bigheadzach: Crystite plots, as many as you can do
heberttb: bottom right!
heberttb: run forrest, rUN
bigheadzach: Wow, last second pub
bigheadzach: Ok, round 11 is the last round pirates *could* attack...do you feel lucky?
heberttb: why not.
bigheadzach: Don't need to keep moving once you hit the line
bigheadzach: No need to starve on my account
bigheadzach: Tight race for 2nd...and it looks like we'll make $60k
Round 11 of 12
heberttb: is there any reason to have a farm on last round? or energy?
bigheadzach: Chompy - that plot in the lower right next to mine...it's got a decent Crystite density, so install a MULE there, for sure
chain chomp8: cool, thaks
bigheadzach: I know this because any plot that has 3 crystal icons on it, is surrounded on all sides by 2-sies
heberttb: did some weird things that time
chain chomp8: nice dance :P
heberttb: oh, crap. i thought this was round 12.
bigheadzach: Nope, 11.
heberttb: there's teh ADD again.
heberttb: i sold my farm, to see what would happen.
heberttb: and will be low on energy.
heberttb: on the last round, is there any reason to have a farm or energy plot?
bigheadzach: Not really unless the price is still high
heberttb: cool. so, you don't need any food on last round. or energy
bigheadzach: You do need food and energy FOR that round
heberttb: you need it to start round. but can convert them to something else during the round, right?
bigheadzach: That's what I intend to do
heberttb: right... again, yhou're a machine
bigheadzach: Plus pirates can't attack in round 12, so we're just speculating the price will be higher than $76 in round 12
heberttb: i'm getting drunk at the pub this round
bigheadzach: Man we caught a bad food harvest this month
heberttb: i got rid of my food plot.
heberttb: made it energy- on riverbed. wasn't thiknin
Round 12 of 12
heberttb: gg
bigheadzach: DId what I could.
bigheadzach: I just want people to learn and have fun
heberttb: well, you pulled the load, big
chain chomp8: Thank for being so helpful, everyone :)
bigheadzach: np
heberttb: yea, good learning experience for me too
bigheadzach: Be sure to check out the guide and send me ?'s
bigheadzach: BTW, no need to sell anything in this round - it gets totaled automatically
bigheadzach: oof, looks like we guessed wrong on the final price of crystite.
heberttb: got it bookmarked. will read tonight. for now, i got some chores to do for momma
heberttb: peace out
bigheadzach: Stay in until the score is saved, so you get credit
heberttb: well, we made 60k
