Round 1 of 12
Mega Byte: Sorry, hi. I was distracted while waiting for players.
Mega Byte: Good catch
babbos: why did you buy ore?
Mega Byte: To make the price go up.
Mega Byte: Trust me. :)
Mega Byte: Where are you from?
Mega Byte: I am from US originally, but live in Tokyo now.
babbos: greece
Mega Byte: Cool.
Mega Byte: Planning on visiting there in December this year.
babbos: and the price will be more than 75 that you bought?
Mega Byte: In a couple turns, if we don't sell any to the store, yes.
Mega Byte: It will go WAY up.
Mega Byte: Up to 230 if we can keep anyone selling to the store.
Round 2 of 12
Mega Byte: You missed getting a plot that round.
Mega Byte: Was that on purpose??
babbos: no, mistake
Mega Byte: Bugger
Mega Byte: YOu shoould have bought one then.
Mega Byte: Now a plot behind.
Mega Byte: If there is land auction, I'll let you buy it.
Mega Byte: Before I start competing with you.
babbos: thankyou :)
Mega Byte: NP
Mega Byte: The game is about fun...
Mega Byte: Can't be fun to have no plots.
Mega Byte: Dont sell your ore
Mega Byte: and buy from bots if they made any
Mega Byte: Buy it
Mega Byte: Trust me
Mega Byte: I'm ranked 8th at this game...
Mega Byte: I know a bit about it. ;)
babbos: alright! :))
Mega Byte: Thi sis going to hurt.
Mega Byte: :)
Mega Byte: They are stingy when we don't have a food plot
Mega Byte: Don't buy too much
Mega Byte: It spoils
Mega Byte: and you need the money
Mega Byte: Energy is a problem though.
Mega Byte: Without it, plots won't produce.
Mega Byte: Ouhc.
Mega Byte: We are all hurting.
babbos: i should have a surpluss?
Mega Byte: No
Mega Byte: 0 on food is ok.
babbos: on energy?
Mega Byte: 1 surplus on energy is prefered, but only if you "buy" a plot that round.
Mega Byte: Otherwise, it calculates what you need to add 1 additional plot.
Mega Byte: (If you have more than 1 undeveloped plot, you need +1 for each.
Round 3 of 12
babbos: how much energy each plot requires?
Mega Byte: 1
Mega Byte: Nice
Mega Byte: If Ore is not a 230 this round, we should hold out one more.
Mega Byte: It will be worth it.
Mega Byte: Or sell just 2 ore each, only 1 mule can get produced then.
Mega Byte: Bots are killing us for land. :)
Mega Byte: But not for long.
Mega Byte: That little bug helped me that turn.
babbos: is there a way to up the game screen resolution?
Mega Byte: You can run full screen.
Mega Byte: f5 toggles
babbos: ...but cant see the chat
Mega Byte: but I don't use it.
Mega Byte: Didn't notice.
Mega Byte: I play on a 30" monitor...
Mega Byte: so, it is TOO big for full screen.
babbos: woa :}
Mega Byte: Don't sell
Mega Byte: Resist the urge. :)
Mega Byte: Next turn, promise you, they will be at 230
Mega Byte: Even if you don't get food this turn, is ok.
Mega Byte: NEED energy
Mega Byte: Well, I might have enough to get 1 plot down.
Mega Byte: Since still in 3 turns.
babbos: wtf?
Mega Byte: But I probably can't afford the mule. :0
Mega Byte: Ah...
Mega Byte: That is a bug.
Mega Byte: The buy line is behind you.
babbos: what now
Mega Byte: It will time out.
Mega Byte: Give it a second.
Mega Byte: Hear the ticker now?
babbos: yea
Mega Byte: It just take a long time because they think players are still trying to trade...
Mega Byte: LOL
Mega Byte: That's what he gets for being greedy.
Mega Byte: hehe
Mega Byte: Cool.
Mega Byte: We're good for energy
Mega Byte: Put down a smithore plot if you can.
Mega Byte: It will make you the most this turn.
babbos: how come?
Mega Byte: Crap
Mega Byte: I'm in first...
Mega Byte: So I won't get any bonus
Mega Byte: Because the units it makes will be worth 230 each
Mega Byte: During auction.
Round 4 of 12
Mega Byte: Ah
Mega Byte: Doesn't matter.
Mega Byte: No mules. :)
Mega Byte: And that is what will drive smithore price up to 230
Mega Byte: Man...
Mega Byte: Wish I had a little more time.
Mega Byte: I might as well now have not spent any money on food
babbos: it was on the bottom right
Mega Byte: Ah well...
Mega Byte: Told you. :)
babbos: super
Mega Byte: Next turn, they should still be over 100 each
Mega Byte: So still a good comodity to have.
Mega Byte: After that, switch to crystite, probably to end of gam.e
Mega Byte: Maybe lay down a food or energy plot just to keep from payint the bots redicuolus
Mega Byte: Greedy buggers.
Mega Byte: We need at least one food plot between us to force them to sell to the store.
Mega Byte: I'm going to be one minute....
Mega Byte: Before I press button to continue
Mega Byte: bathroom break
babbos: k :)
Mega Byte: Back
Mega Byte: Thanks
Mega Byte: Ready?
babbos: yup
Round 5 of 12
Mega Byte: You buy this
Mega Byte: Don't let them have it.
Mega Byte: I won't compete
Mega Byte: NICE one
babbos: thanks
Mega Byte: But now I go for it. ;)
babbos: now lets bleed :>
Mega Byte: hehe
babbos: :>
Mega Byte: Thanks for not killing for it at least. ;)
Mega Byte: Wow...
Mega Byte: Now that was the PERFECT turn.
Mega Byte: Wampus, 3 plots... still in the pub.
Mega Byte: SwiSH!
Mega Byte: Space bar skipps production animation.
Mega Byte: If we both press it.
Mega Byte: Great timing
Mega Byte: There was NO crystite anyway! :)
Mega Byte: They can still come in another round.
Mega Byte: You're good
Mega Byte: don't buy
Mega Byte: See, now they force to sell to store.
Mega Byte: Because they know you are producing...
Mega Byte: Stinky little bots.
Mega Byte: :)
babbos: right
babbos: bastards
Mega Byte: hehe
Mega Byte: YEAH!
babbos: its all the programmers' fault
Mega Byte: You should buy 1
Mega Byte: Or 2
Mega Byte: :D
Round 6 of 12
Mega Byte: Oopws
Mega Byte: I almost had you.
Mega Byte: But thought you were just trying to run it up on me.
Mega Byte: When I came down, you went up.
babbos: hehehe i love that
Mega Byte: Well played.
Mega Byte: Even if you don't need the last mule, buy it.
Mega Byte: Will drive the smithore price up again.
Mega Byte: Good one.
Mega Byte: Might have one more descent price for ore...
Mega Byte: Wow
Mega Byte: that sucks.
Mega Byte: Might as well have not placed those two plots last time... :(
babbos: no crystal 4 me :(
Mega Byte: Me either
Mega Byte: DOn't sell to me if you don't want
Mega Byte: Our objective now is make the store run out, and buy what the bots make.
Mega Byte: 35 ore will make some mules for the store,
Mega Byte: Which is good.
Mega Byte: Nice
Mega Byte: We're all good.
Mega Byte: Got to remember to back off with 1 when selling energy.
Mega Byte: But you are ok.
babbos: right
Mega Byte: As long as you don't convert an energy plot, or have more than 2 land this turn.
Round 7 of 12
Mega Byte: Wow... have that backwards. :(
babbos: wtf the mule left me
Mega Byte: BLOODY QUAKES
Mega Byte: Ah
Mega Byte: You missed pressing in the right place.
Mega Byte: You should stay down and buy some too.
Mega Byte: Or I will get a big surplus, and kill you when the time comes. :)
Mega Byte: Sucks.
Mega Byte: I should have had 14 of those... :(
Mega Byte: Stocking up for one round.
Mega Byte: Don't want to have to buy on the next one.
babbos: why not
Mega Byte: lazy
Mega Byte: :
Mega Byte: :)
Round 8 of 12
Mega Byte: HA
Mega Byte: Alomost picked up the wrong commodity. :)
Mega Byte: FYI, I can only hold a maximum of 50 SO without spoilage.
Mega Byte: So I need you to stay down and buy SO from the bots this time if they have more than 9 units.
Mega Byte: It is the only way we will get SO back up to 230 again in this game.
Mega Byte: Unless you want to run another strategy, then I'm ok with that.
Mega Byte: Youch
Mega Byte: Bugger
Mega Byte: Apparently, I wasn not on the sell line, and had to buy them out at 101 instead. :(
Mega Byte: BUT
Mega Byte: One turn, no mules, it will be 230
Mega Byte: :)
Mega Byte: Need the liquid cash.
Mega Byte: Crystite is just hedge money anyway.
Mega Byte: You should always back off the bots after buying 1 unit each time.
Mega Byte: They often come down after each sale.
babbos: right
Mega Byte: Will make your cost of goods cheaper.
Mega Byte: Cool.
Mega Byte: No energy buying this round, as planned. :)
Mega Byte: You should sell
Mega Byte: Mule price will be high
Mega Byte: you need the money
Round 9 of 12
Mega Byte: No mule for me this turn. :)
Mega Byte: Oh, there is more there.
Mega Byte: How did it produce that with 0 smithore... wierd.
babbos: ?
Mega Byte: SWEET
Mega Byte: BAH
Mega Byte: Should still be 230 this turn
Mega Byte: DAMN
Mega Byte: 181 doesn't suck though...
Mega Byte: Back to crystite for me next turn.
Mega Byte: Ore is dead now.
Mega Byte: But we gave it a good run.
Mega Byte: Now to screw the bots we want to keep ore as LOW as possible.
Mega Byte: Max price for crystite is 144
Mega Byte: Max for ore is 230
babbos: how do we keep it low?
Mega Byte: We sell at LOW price, as much as possible.
Mega Byte: You should be up to at least 3rd now, maybe 2nd.
Mega Byte: But keep the peddle on crystite from here out.
Mega Byte: Sell
Mega Byte: They just spoil otherwise, even ifyou only get 10 for tem
Mega Byte: There you go
babbos: 3rd! heh
Mega Byte: Nice
Round 10 of 12
Mega Byte: Ouch
Mega Byte: Hit the door
Mega Byte: :)
Mega Byte: I left
Mega Byte: 2 plots undeveloped
Mega Byte: Mules will be cheaper next turn.
Mega Byte: Let him sell
Mega Byte: THis will just drive the SO price down.
Mega Byte: Next turn, probably 52
Mega Byte: So if you buy now, it is a losing proposition.,
Mega Byte: Store already burned twice, and won't burn again.
Mega Byte: Crystite is still risky.
Mega Byte: Because pirates can return.
Mega Byte: And prci is not market driven\
Round 11 of 12
Mega Byte: See, dropped from 67 to 60 this round
Mega Byte: will be 52 next round, at best, and maybe even 48
Mega Byte: Don't sell
Mega Byte: I have to sell 26
Mega Byte: DOn't sell
Mega Byte: I only sold because I have over 50, and they will spoil
Mega Byte: And crystite isn't comodity driven price.
Mega Byte: It's random
Mega Byte: Could just as easily be 144 next turn as 54
Mega Byte: And no chance for pirates now.
Mega Byte: Only mother ship can return on round 12
Mega Byte: :)
Mega Byte: Convert any energy or food plots you have to crystite.
Mega Byte: You don't need them now.
Mega Byte: But remember you can't mine in the river, if you have any plots there.
Round 12 of 12
Mega Byte: 50 :)
Mega Byte: We got out of that at the right time.
Mega Byte: hehe
Mega Byte: Look at that! 120
Mega Byte: That should bump you to 2nd I think.
babbos: yuppyyy!
Mega Byte: hehe
Mega Byte: Not bad. Have you played before joining the site?
