safire: good timing too

Round 3 of 12

safire: just reading that the increased the chance of a 2-plot auction

Frausty: gahh!

Frausty: i knew that would happen, lol

safire: heh, yeah you came close to losing that mule

Frausty: pirate ship is coming...

safire: lol

safire: came twice in my last game

safire: Frausty, you play the old game?

Round 4 of 12

Frausty: yeah

Frausty: on atari 800

safire: this one's got the same play -- i miss the graphics though

safire: yeah same here

safire: atari 800 was a great machine

Frausty: it's not the same without a gray amorphous blob following me

safire: heh

safire: nice!

safire: i suck at catching the wampus

Frausty: it's not easy in this version

Frausty: i'm used to the other one

Round 5 of 12

safire: gotta say, that's a steal

Frausty: come on colony! let's retire luxuriou!

safire: you see in the rules that there's a production bonus for two plots adjacent of the same type?

safire: don't know if the original was like that, never actually saw the rules before

Frausty: oh yeah, it's like that

Frausty: and 3 of any same type

safire: rut roh

Round 6 of 12

safire: there it is!

safire: and JWD takes the lead

Frausty: i will buy it all

Round 7 of 12

safire: does 3 in an L (like I have in bottom left) count as 3 adjacent?

Frausty: i think so

safire: I still miss Lode Runner

safire: probably spent most of my game time on that one

safire: Spelunker was right up there, too

Frausty: steak dinner!

safire: lol

safire: please sir, can i have some energy?

Frausty: lol

Round 8 of 12

Frausty: last place hookup!

safire: and Frausty gets it

safire: i miss the strange 8-bit sound of training a mule

safire: the rest is pretty good improvement

safire: all crystite, all the time

Frausty: aahahhhhaha

safire: so close

Frausty: pirates?

safire: is about time

safire: or a fire ;-)

Frausty: ahh

safire: lol, forgot about that one

safire: all i wanted was a baked potato

Round 9 of 12

safire: nice -- that was close

safire: can he do 3

safire: energry crisis averted

Round 10 of 12

safire: damn, the curse of first place

Frausty: do we all have the same number of plots?

safire: 11 for me

safire: you manage to sneak in there

safire: i don't recall the original being so forgiving on getting into the pub at the end

Frausty: oh yeah, and the opening isn't as wide

Frausty: but you can go into land first to stop the clock

safire: what do you mean go into land?

Frausty: knew it

Frausty: if you go into the land office, so as to sell a plot

Frausty: it stops the clock

Frausty: then you can go into the pub

safire: really, that's interesting

Round 11 of 12

safire: heh - ad -- artificial dumbness

Round 12 of 12

safire: the symbols for the 4 mule types are awful

safire: the old game versions were much better

Frausty: i can't even tell - what the hell is crystite?

safire: particularly the "dish" for energy

safire: no clue

safire: and they should really update the number on the bottom as production increases

Frausty: oh no i won't cheat

safire: dude -- 97, that's nice

safire: ok, you must explain that --- cheat?

Frausty: oh, the score for an asset is the last price that it sold

Frausty: so

Frausty: you can buy one at a much higher price to inflate the score

safire: aah--- nice

Frausty: in the last auction

safire: i always figured it was just the store price

Game Over
