Mega Byte: It is indeed.
Mega Byte: And I'm in 3rd, so no whining.
Diablo: orange doesn't want the land, but he doesn't want anybody else to have it.
Diablo: that's cool. well played
Mega Byte: hehe
Mega Byte: Oh, I would love the land.
Mega Byte: But I'm not going to gimp myself to get it either...
Mega Byte: If I had double everyone else's money, then I would buy it at 1500+
Mega Byte: But this late, hard to recoup it.
tedrick111: :)
Mega Byte: And the river plot was not worth it at all.
Diablo: yeah. no plot is worth 900 this late in game.
Mega Byte: Well, couple are.
Mega Byte: But not many.
Mega Byte: 3 mountan, HIGH crystite plot...
Mega Byte: Could be then.
tedrick111: 3 mountain don't mean anything month 8
Mega Byte: But this is far from one of my more elegant games.
Mega Byte: I've had no plan in this one.
Mega Byte: Too much weird stuff going on with you lot.
Mega Byte: Ouch
Bull199: man
Mega Byte: There it is...
Mega Byte: :(
Mega Byte: My game is over.
tedrick111: Hey I'm pulling from a classic playbook.
tedrick111: Bull you're shining :)
Mega Byte: Diablo, because Bull has been gimped so many rounds, you probably just won the game with that move.
Bull199: better
Mega Byte: But if he'd been productive, you'd be dead.
Diablo: as long as pirates don't come by
Diablo: if they do, i lose bad.
Mega Byte: Nah...
Mega Byte: T
tedrick111: You spoiled 4
Mega Byte: You should keep selling to him
Mega Byte: If you want to win
Mega Byte: You made a BIG mistake by not selling to Diablo just thng.
Mega Byte: then
Diablo: i was typing. if he tried to sell me more, i would have moved back before 55
Mega Byte: Ok...

Mega Byte: If't that your plan, ok.
Bull199: i cant win now, but maybe move up
tedrick111: No.
tedrick111: Bull and Diablo you guys are both really good traders. I gotta say I haven't played anyone that style before.
tedrick111: Not even on the net.
Diablo: thanks
tedrick111: I always try to with with sheer manufacturing horsepower but ur using it against me :)
tedrick111: sry guys can't do it :(
Mega Byte: THis has to be the WEIRDEST game of MULE I've ever played...
Round 11 of 12
tedrick111: Happens when you play me :)
Mega Byte: BAH
tedrick111: facepalm
Mega Byte: Dude
Mega Byte: Youre at 61
Mega Byte: You have 11 spoilage already
Mega Byte: Ok then...
Diablo: now he has 30 spoilage
Mega Byte: Yup...
tedrick111: Are you founded in thermodynamics? You put money in a black hole.
Mega Byte: LOL
Mega Byte: Nice one.
Bull199: haha, no, just playing
Mega Byte: Well, I don't think I have any hope of winning this game now.
Mega Byte: But it's a good game.
tedrick111: I gotta say this one's been a learner for me
Mega Byte: I have NO idea what I learned in this game...
tedrick111: Diablo was a couple coin tosses from kickin my butt.
Mega Byte: Indeed
tedrick111: How about this lesson: Too much energy is a good thing
Mega Byte: WHy did it go down???
Mega Byte: No on sold last turn and it was 215
Mega Byte: This is bogus
Round 12 of 12
Mega Byte: They whole game is really differnt since the changes too.
Mega Byte: SO is so much more difficult to control.
Mega Byte: And spoilage of Ore and Crystite makes it worse.
Mega Byte: I think the days of 200k games are certainly gone.
tedrick111: What did they change?
tedrick111: It seems very true to the original right now.
tedrick111: Assay and no shed on lot are really the only differences I noticed.
tedrick111: Oh and no land cheat.
Diablo: i just started playing yesterday
tedrick111: (diving in to the land selling thingie to freeze the clock)
Mega Byte: Yeah
Mega Byte: Yeah
Mega Byte: It is annoying.
Mega Byte: It lost a lot of its appeal in my opinion.
Mega Byte: They still aren't at "original"
Mega Byte: And deserts are gone now
Diablo: i think green won
tedrick111: What were the deserts all about?
Mega Byte: They ether need to do "original", or don't do "original".
Mega Byte: But don't try to "fix" original.
tedrick111: I never even read the directions. I'm literally playing the same way I did 20 years ago.
Mega Byte: Which is whaty they've done now.
Mega Byte: What a load...
Mega Byte: 65...
tedrick111: Preaching to the choir.
Mega Byte: Will make for an interesting outcome
Mega Byte: Hmmm
Diablo: why do they even have a trading session for the last turn?
Mega Byte: Energy was the place to be.
Mega Byte: Wish I hadn't changed those now.
Mega Byte: I might have caught up to second place then.
tedrick111: That's a good point... They should skip the final auction
tedrick111: Pointless.
Mega Byte: Yeah
Mega Byte: I hate this part.
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
tedrick111: Although on Atari you could jack up the score buy buying something and artificially raising the price.
Score saved
Mega Byte: Yeah
tedrick111: gg
Mega Byte: The fixed that too
Diablo: gg
Mega Byte: Not really, but thanks. ;)
Bull199: thanks for the game
Mega Byte: This was an awful game.
Bull199 left the game
Mega Byte: 120k+ score, that's a good game.
Bull199 was disconnected
