Round 6 of 12

Myrddhin: In keep thinking I'm orange and getting so messed up.

Dogmanj: these crystite prices are BS

Myrddhin: No kidding.

Round 7 of 12

Dogmanj: no more mules, again

Myrddhin: Sorry. I'm not the smithore hoarder.

zubby: Nyboe's doing

Nyboe: sorry i love the stuff

Myrddhin: Sadly, with my horrible timing on land grabs, I'm all excited just to have some food capability. ;P

Myrddhin: I use the term "food capabiliyt" loosely, mind you.

Dogmanj: argh

Myrddhin: WTF?

Myrddhin: Somebody toss out this game's random seed and plant a new one. Crystite sucks.

Dogmanj: I've never seen crystite prices this bad

zubby: Getting nervous about the pirates

Myrddhin: Me too.

Round 8 of 12

Dogmanj: lucky

Myrddhin: Heh. Yeah. Give land to the only guy with no money to develop it. =P

zubby: Hey!

Dogmanj: finally!

Myrddhin: 8 rounds before we get one over $100...

zubby: I thought the first round was good price, just nobody had any

Myrddhin: Maybe. I didn't pay attention, for that reason. =P

Myrddhin: Nice, zubby.

Round 9 of 12

Myrddhin: So which squares are "desert" and which are "plains?" That's still not clear to me.

Dogmanj: I don't think there are deserts

Dogmanj: Only river plots, mountains, and plains

Myrddhin: Huh. OK. I was reading the FAQ and it had different food/energy for plains and desert, but I always seem to get the same on non-river/mountain.

zubby: I always assumed the closer to the riverbed you were the better for farming

Myrddhin: That's a thought. Never tried food way away

zubby: Dogmanj going sneak a win?

Round 10 of 12

Myrddhin: Well, we're officially a successful colony, in any case.

zubby: What's the metric for that?

Myrddhin: Colony over 60k points is the minimum for success.

Dogmanj: 80K is a success

Myrddhin: 80? Doh.

Dogmanj: 60K is a rough existence

Myrddhin: No, no. 60k-79.99k is Overall, the Colony was a success. You have met the minimum standards set by the Federation, but your life will not be easy!

Dogmanj: 120K+ is the best

zubby: Wierd game.. in that there are lots of unusual happenings

zubby: Just what Dogmanj needed, more Crystite

Myrddhin: I didn't know you *could* get 2 meteorites in a game!

Dogmanj: with 120K you retire in luxury

Dogmanj: I had 2 meteorite side by side once!

Myrddhin: That's just wrong.

Dogmanj: YEAH

zubby: Another good round here

Myrddhin: Thankfully.

zubby: I've never seen the smithore market manipulated more than once by a play (nice Nyboe)... but I think Dogmanj and his Crystite is going to win the game

Nyboe: funny i haven't played this since the original - its fun!

zubby: slashdot?

Myrddhin: This is my first non-training bame against AI since I played the C64 version.

Myrddhin: Yeah, zubby.

Nyboe: yeah

zubby: I used to go to my Cousin's house to play it on his Atari 800... so when the slashdot article hit, I just HAD to play

Round 11 of 12

Myrddhin: Back in high school, a friend of mine had the Super nintendo, the best computer of any of us and a C64 and 2 of us would go there and we'd all just play MULE.

Nyboe: oops

Dogmanj: i knew it

zubby: THERE are the Pirates!

Myrddhin: Nice price, too.

Round 12 of 12

Dogmanj: colonial pirates

Dogmanj: lousy price

Myrddhin: Pirates.... now you have me wanting to play Settlers of Catan.

zubby: There a decent electronic version of that?

Myrddhin: Not sure. I know the Catan people do have a free to play version online, but I haven't tried it.

Myrddhin: Somehow I doubt it allows the crazy things my friends and I do such as trade future production for passes through ports.

zubby: I will have to investigate that...

Dogmanj: #1

zubby: House rules always seem to apply to ANY game

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Myrddhin: I think they said there's an iphone app for it too. I haven't seen an anrdoid version, though.

zubby: Good job Myrddhin!

Myrddhin: Yay. 80k success.

Dogmanj left the game

zubby: Bye!

Dogmanj was disconnected

Myrddhin: see ya
