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?
