salvagebar: Cannon-M.U.L.E.s
Biffard: well, you could always play Civilization
salvagebar: Shush, that's crazy-talk.
Biffard: :-)
Biffard: Hi Eumel
salvagebar: Hey, what is this "50% ABANDONED" stat I've got?
Biffard: It means one of the games you didn't finish...
Biffard: but it could be because the host killed the game
Biffard: or in my case, there was a bug that wouldn't let us continue
salvagebar: That is bullshxx - the host killed the thing.
Biffard: yeah, agree
Biffard: I don't like it when the host kills it...
salvagebar: Now my batting average is affected
Biffard: that's why I host... I never stop the game for any reason
Biffard: But i don't like it when you're in a game and the host kills it on turn 10
salvagebar: Because someone has a 1982-model cheese grater as a router, I am punished.
Biffard: yeah
Biffard: I got a nice new router a couple of weeks back...

ltbeeb: wont letme in
Biffard: Hi Itbeeb... want to join?
ltbeeb: ill try again
ltbeeb left the game

Round 1 of 12
Biffard: yes, on the web site
maj left the game
Computer takes over maj
Biffard: looks like we lost one already
salvagebar: I had a great game with 3 humans and 1 AI
Biffard: Really? usually i find the computer is predictable
salvagebar: 1 AI makes things interesting - maybe it was just this one game, but it did well
salvagebar: Weird how you ALWAYS win while gambling.
salvagebar: I think we all cheat.
Biffard: off to a nice start
Round 2 of 12
salvagebar: !!!
salvagebar: Well, this is the early game - you'll make that back
salvagebar: nice save
Biffard: almost lost it
salvagebar: Man there's a lot of Cryst close to home
salvagebar: That Smithore will be through the roof
Round 3 of 12
salvagebar: Yeah the AI is going to try to sell a bunch of ORE next turn
salvagebar: C'MON WAMPUS
salvagebar: ok -0 you can press the button to skip the counting
Biffard: ok, i didn't know that
salvagebar: Dont sell that price sucks for Cryst
salvagebar: Oy I wish you'd let him starve
Biffard: why is it stuck?
salvagebar: ?
eumel-123 is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
salvagebar: hmm
Biffard: looks like we lost eumel
salvagebar: I saw that bug happen before
Biffard: ok, i guess he's ok
Round 4 of 12
Biffard: WOOT!!!
salvagebar: Dammit -= didn't know about the NO MINE ON RIVER thing
salvagebar: eumal
salvagebar: press the button
Biffard: So did you guys play this on the Atari or the C64 (or not all all)?
salvagebar: Not at all
salvagebar: PRESS THE BUTTON
salvagebar: PLEASE - by turn 12 that will take forever
Biffard: Pretty sad... the AI is winning
salvagebar: I am playing badly
Biffard: So Salvage, what drew you do this game if you never played it on the old computers?
salvagebar: It was a retro game I had heard about forever but never played
Biffard: ah... i c
Round 5 of 12
Biffard: my friends and i used to play with 4 people sitting around an atari computer... it was a blast at the time
salvagebar: Sounds liek it
salvagebar: Eumel - habla Español?
salvagebar: Fine, Eumel is having a laugh.
salvagebar: That is a son of a whore.
salvagebar: Just as I finally get lucrative plots, a quake
salvagebar: Don't sell
Round 6 of 12
salvagebar: I wish you hadn't sold, B
Biffard: sorry... :-)
salvagebar: If you hadnot sold him food, teh AI would have had zero food
salvagebar: and he is WAY ahead
Biffard: i've never seen an AI win... I'm not worried
salvagebar: Good move, B - price is low
salvagebar: buy it up
salvagebar: Don't bother
Biffard: i need money bad!
salvagebar: Sorry guys - it's a dog-eat-wampus world
Round 7 of 12
Biffard: maybe my relatives will send me some energy
salvagebar: I hope so. Mostly, I wanted payback on Eumel for forcing me to stare at dots for ten minutes.
Biffard: :-)
salvagebar: GO close to mountains
salvagebar: built plots never have Wampus
Biffard: oh, ok
Biffard: in the original game they did :-)
Biffard: he's mad you didn't sell him energy
salvagebar: Too bad. All those dark factories. :(
salvagebar: Well.
Round 8 of 12
salvagebar: !!!
salvagebar: plunk... plunk... plunk... plunk... plunk...
salvagebar: No food for you guys this turn. Say thanks to Eumel.
salvagebar: ;P
Biffard: He's hungry
salvagebar: No room.
salvagebar: Sign says, "CLOSED".

salvagebar: Ouch.
salvagebar: Crap, that was boneheaded
Round 10 of 12
salvagebar: ?

salvagebar: Eumel took pity on me
Round 12 of 12
salvagebar: Last turn. GG all.
Biffard: yep... fun game
Biffard: thanks all for playing
Biffard: nice crystite price
salvagebar: It was worth it to rob the AI of four turns.
