riversage: wow nice!!!
Myrddhin: If it doesn't work out, I'll blame the alcohol, no?
riversage: lol
mcdafydd: hehe
mcdafydd: i'll probably blame losing on not having alcohol
riversage: lol
Myrddhin: I'm still far too stoked that this exists.
mcdafydd: totallly
Myrddhin: Every year or two I reminisce about MULE.
fuzzycheeks: I guess no more wampus
riversage: ill blame losing on being bad at this game in general
Myrddhin: I've been doing a swell job of losing most of my games.

Myrddhin: Still amazes me how such rather simple mechanics can work so well.
riversage: lol ya
mcdafydd: yeah
Myrddhin: So I'll probably host a game after this one and not play. I'm assuming 4 people can join and play without me playing.
mcdafydd: i think so
mcdafydd: good idea
riversage: lol
mcdafydd: two pirates per game?
Myrddhin: *glares at mc*
riversage: when ur visisting u can press the spacebar and not join but watch

Myrddhin: Going to finally get off my rear and imstall Bryce after this so I can try and make Catan pieces.
riversage: lol wtf u talking about?
mcdafydd: 3d modeling?
Myrddhin: Settlers of Catan is an awesome board game. For their 10th anniversary, they released a 3D version. I'm making my own. Bryce is software that's good at doing #D modeling of landscapes.
Myrddhin: I need to use such to make the pieces.
riversage: cool
Round 9 of 12
riversage: lol
mcdafydd: i think my router might only allow a single incoming connection.. that's why only one could join.
riversage: lol im watching harry potter

riversage: ive read the books 6 and a half times
Myrddhin: That's entirely possible, Mc.
riversage: lol
mcdafydd: man fuzzy is the big winner
mcdafydd: i just got it today.. moved and had to get a little belkin
riversage: i have no clue wat u guys are talking about??
Myrddhin: Need to get a new power supply (and possibly motherboard, but I sure hope not) for my Linux box. I'm really limited wit just the Windows box.
riversage: bet u guys are talking about hacking into some thing
Myrddhin: I mean, I can play games, but.... I don't program worth beans under Windows (which isn't to say I'm particularly good under Linux, but it's comfortable).
mcdafydd: close
riversage: lol
riversage: cmon
riversage: button
mcdafydd: linux is about more than hacking.. it's about not having a computer crashing all the time :)
Myrddhin: hit space mc
mcdafydd: sorry
riversage: cool
Myrddhin: It's also about 8 virtual desktops, smoothly switching....
mcdafydd: totally
riversage: lol

riversage: lol u drunk or sumthing?
mcdafydd: i am very happy they released this for linux osx and windows
Myrddhin: Halfway through my second margarita. Each is somewhere between 8 and 10 oz, of which about half is either Patron tequilla or Patron's orange liquer.
riversage: lol
Myrddhin: So..... probably about 6 shots in me atm.
mcdafydd: that sounds good.

Round 11 of 12
riversage: god im soo grounded
riversage left the game
Computer takes over riversage
mcdafydd: maybe we won't see you tomorrow?
mcdafydd: nice computer take over feature
Myrddhin: Yeah. I'm really rather impressed by this game.
Myrddhin: They did a nice job on bringing it to life and into the modern age.
mcdafydd: yeah, and without modifying too much. lots of subtle differences though
Myrddhin: (Though 3D graphics would rock ;P)
Myrddhin: I can't even remember things like the original music and whatnot so this is plenty good for me.
mcdafydd: oh man.. i totally remember the original music.
mcdafydd: tried playing the emuulated version with a network hack a couple years ago
Myrddhin: Come on good prices!
Myrddhin: Sad how strategies change with but a single computer player.
Myrddhin: That is *not* a good price!
mcdafydd: <sigh>
mcdafydd: are the goods still worth a lot in last round if the price is high?
mcdafydd: maybe better to sell crystite last round?
Myrddhin: They're worth the store's buying price or the last sold price, I believe.
Myrddhin: So no point in selling on the last round
mcdafydd: gotcha
Myrddhin: One way to inflate colony score is to collude and have a pair buy/sell really high in the last round so that the remaining goods are worth a lot
Myrddhin: They just need to buy sell 1 of the item, but... well... why would the buyer want to, to give the seller so much better a score?
Round 12 of 12
mcdafydd: ahhh. i just learned about colluding recently. never knew about it back in the day
Myrddhin: Ditto. Internet forums are amazing things. =P
Myrddhin: Nice job on producing there.
mcdafydd: thx!
Myrddhin: Hmmm. MULE was released in 83. I vaguely recall 83.
mcdafydd: yeah. i remember mule and antic magazine
mcdafydd: among other things
Myrddhin: OK, never heard of antic magazine
Myrddhin: I played MULE back in, oh, 95 or so. =P
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
mcdafydd: atari mag.. code you can enter, games, etc.
Myrddhin: Woo! My first victory and it's a successfull colony of the second level.
fuzzycheeks left the game
Myrddhin: Ah.
mcdafydd: nice!!
Myrddhin: Going to start a new game for people.
mcdafydd: thx for the game.
mcdafydd: http://muttoo.on.ca/mulemanual/
mcdafydd: seen that manual?
Myrddhin: Nope. I have it now, though
mcdafydd: some funny strategies mentioned at the end
mcdafydd: about the authors
fuzzycheeks was disconnected
mcdafydd: have a good night take care
Myrddhin: you too
