Mega Byte: I was in the US AF for a while, and did my training at Chanute AFB in Rantoule

Mega Byte: That was 1987 :)

Enthash: nice, I just got out of the AF

Mega Byte: Cool, what did you do there?

Mega Byte: Cool How long were you in?

Enthash: 4 years, got tired of the political bs lol

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: I understand 100%

Mega Byte: Everybody it. :)

Enthash: lol

Mega Byte: I'm a technology consultant, working mostly with large financial firms

Enthash: nice

Mega Byte: Goldman, Lehman (dead), Morgan, Merrill, etc

Enthash: bet that's fun in this economy

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: Fortunatly, I'm diversified.

Mega Byte: So I have many Law firms, insurance, real estate, and manufacturing clients to draw from in the short term.

Mega Byte: It looks to be lifting this year, since companies now have budgets. :)

Enthash: smart :D

Mega Byte: Dont sell

Mega Byte: Little weasel...

Mega Byte: I hate the bots sometimes

Enthash: lol

Mega Byte: If they didn't sell, ore would be 230 next turn...

Mega Byte: Now more likely to be 180ish now

Enthash: yeah, they have no idea how to play this game

Mega Byte: Which still isn't too bad I guess.

Round 3 of 12

Mega Byte: WHAT!!!

Mega Byte: That totally screws me.

Enthash: ouch

Mega Byte: This was how I was to catch up...

Mega Byte: Now loss of production is killer for me.

Mega Byte: Might as well sell with the dweb selling off like that.

Enthash: :/

Mega Byte: But man, I needed just that small edge of even 2 or 3 more production. :(

Enthash: yeah, this game'll screw you over

Mega Byte: Well, early, so hopefully I can still recover.

Mega Byte: I think I'm still in the lead, which I hate being through most of the game.

Mega Byte: Last couple turns, ok, but not at the sthat.

Enthash: bill's beatin ya lol

Mega Byte: haha

Mega Byte: GOOD!

Round 4 of 12

Mega Byte: HA!

Mega Byte: I thought he got it!

Enthash: these bots suck...they've taken all the land I wanted

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: I hate that too

Mega Byte: And I hate when they auction the plot that I wanted next! :)

Round 5 of 12

Mega Byte: You take this one

Enthash: wtf

Mega Byte: You're supposde to BEAT the bot. ;)

Enthash: lol

Mega Byte: Ok, have this one.

Mega Byte: Nice

Mega Byte: Any more auctions, and I'll go for them. ;)

Mega Byte: Whew

Mega Byte: Close one

Mega Byte: Didn't think I would make it with that energy plot all the way up the corner.

Enthash: meh

Enthash: I have the worst luck ever at finding crystite

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: It will come to you.

Mega Byte: I got VERY lucky this game.

Mega Byte: First plot sitting on High crystite.

Enthash: yup

Mega Byte: NICE

Mega Byte: Screwed him there.

Mega Byte: I was trying hard not to screw you up.

Enthash: :D thanks

Mega Byte: No worries.

Mega Byte: My philosophy is screw the bots, not the players.

Mega Byte: Its just not necessary, and not fun.

Round 6 of 12

Mega Byte: I don't want it. I just didn't want him to get it cheap

Mega Byte: :)

Enthash: :P

Mega Byte: Screwed up

Mega Byte: Picked up the energy plot too early... :(

Mega Byte: I hope crystite has a decent price

Mega Byte: Nope

Mega Byte: :S

Enthash: ouch

Mega Byte: HA!

Mega Byte: Right at the limit.

Mega Byte: Oops

Mega Byte: Was going to sell a couple...

Mega Byte: Just to get some cash

Mega Byte: I should still be ok though

Round 7 of 12

Mega Byte: Bugger

Mega Byte: That was my NEXT plot. ;)

Mega Byte: Push him up

Mega Byte: That show'd em. ;)

Mega Byte: hehe

Enthash: lol I suck at this game >.<

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: Nah, you're doing fine.

Mega Byte: HA!

Mega Byte: Caught the RAT this late in the game. ;)

Enthash: :D

Mega Byte: Space bar makes production animation stop

Enthash: sorry, trying to multi-task

Mega Byte: No worries. I'm doing the same. ;)

Mega Byte: Just wanted 1

Mega Byte: :)

Enthash: :P

Mega Byte: That'll screw the bots over.

Mega Byte: But you too...

Mega Byte: You need a fire in the store now...

Enthash: that would be so awesome

Mega Byte: (Which, I hope doesn't come, or my changes are over. ;)

Mega Byte: guess I'm selling some...

Mega Byte: NO PIRATES

Mega Byte: We need a good quake now.

Mega Byte: Goofy bot

Mega Byte: Nice

Mega Byte: You should buy 1 extra energy

Mega Byte: In case you get spare plot

Mega Byte: Or you will be short one

Mega Byte: Unless you put an energy plot on it.

Mega Byte: There you go

Mega Byte: Wow... how'd that happen?

Mega Byte: HA 200 points

Enthash: nice

Mega Byte: I'd rather be in 2nd

Round 8 of 12

Enthash: FIRE

Mega Byte: haha

Mega Byte: Maybe...

Mega Byte: All in now...

Mega Byte: Was sweating there...

Enthash: :P

Mega Byte: OH

Mega Byte: You over bought

Mega Byte: THERE WE GO

Enthash: yeah, I know >.< people at the house distracted me

Enthash: *cries*

Enthash: so did you start playing this through /. ?

Mega Byte: No

Mega Byte: I found out about it the day it launched, on Dec 9

Enthash: ah

Mega Byte: Have been a LONG time MULE fan, going back to 1985

Round 9 of 12

Enthash: yeah, I played it on teh C64 too

Mega Byte: Actually, I'm part of the user community team developing the next version as well.

Enthash: sweet!

Mega Byte: Ouch

Mega Byte: Man, there is NO crystite on the right side

Mega Byte: I'm SO holding my breath the next 2 turns

Enthash: it seems to tend that way for some reason, the last 3 games I have played it was skewed left

Mega Byte: Pirages or fire both will screw me.

Mega Byte: Descent price

Round 10 of 12

Mega Byte: Oops.

Mega Byte: Tried to give you a free mule. ;)

Enthash: :P

Mega Byte: Quake time

Mega Byte: Thats good

Enthash: damn

Enthash: thanks

Mega Byte: Might as well hedge my bets a bit.

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: NP

Mega Byte: Actually, next round, don't sell until the Bots are done, and I will buy at HIGH price from you.

Mega Byte: I will buy from you at 250 ok?

Mega Byte: That will raise the final lprice for you.

Enthash: cool thanks :D

Mega Byte: NP

Mega Byte: Better to get a good colony score, and you can beat the bots that way too.

Mega Byte: Yeah... I don't need food this turn.

Mega Byte: My plots are all set now.

Mega Byte: Kept the 1 energy plot because I can't mine on that space. :)

Enthash: :3

Mega Byte: Buying extra just in case of fire this turn. I don't want to be 0 energy for round 12!

Mega Byte: :)

Round 11 of 12

Mega Byte: You can't put mining in the river plot.

Mega Byte: Whew

Enthash: bah

Mega Byte: Quake = good

Mega Byte: PIRATES = BAD

Mega Byte: :)

Enthash: :P

Mega Byte: Don't sell yet

Mega Byte: Ah crap

Mega Byte: You have to

Mega Byte: Sorry

Mega Byte: 32 even after 1/2 loss

Mega Byte: :S

Enthash: not your fault, dumbass bots

Mega Byte: Which is actually more because 5 becomes 2

Mega Byte: yeah

Mega Byte: I thought they would sell out this turn.

Mega Byte: Good that Pirates came early this game.

Mega Byte: I've been sweating them the whole time.

Mega Byte: Now, i'ts in the clear.

Enthash: lol

Mega Byte: Funny, 2 turns, where 0 food is NO issue.

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: Don't think I've ever done that

Mega Byte: Cool.

Mega Byte: Extra energy too.

Mega Byte: Buy 1

Mega Byte: 2 if you still have an empty plot

Mega Byte: I didn't notice.

Enthash: no empty plots

Mega Byte: Cool.,

Round 12 of 12

Mega Byte: Bugger

Mega Byte: I lost a mule plot because mountain shifted that last one...

Mega Byte: Didn't see that.

Mega Byte: It should tell you somewhere in auction how many empty plots you have...

Mega Byte: Especially on a 11th round change like that.

Enthash: yeah

Mega Byte: Oh well, it was a 0 plot anyway.

Mega Byte: It produced about 3 usually.

Mega Byte: Won't be a game changing loss.

Mega Byte: Just hate not getting full production from plots.

Mega Byte: Ewe

Mega Byte: Dismal price

Mega Byte: Wow

Enthash: yeah, they'e worth more as asset score

Mega Byte: Lucky price!

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: No, worth the same actually

Mega Byte: Asset = $$$ in last round

Enthash: oh really? I was always told not to sell last round

Mega Byte: You don't sell last round for 2 reasons

Mega Byte: 1 it makes the game go faster.

Mega Byte: 2 for Energy and Food, it can lower your value by 1/15 the total cost (so not that much).

Mega Byte: But Ore and Crystite are at their buying price from the store.

Mega Byte: That keeps it from getting cranked up in the last round by someone selling 1 good for $500

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Enthash: gg man, I had fun

Mega Byte: Yeah, thanks.

Mega Byte: It was good.

Mega Byte: Happy to have you play in my games any time.

Mega Byte: 1 more win, and then I'm 6th! :)

Enthash: gl

Mega Byte: Ta

Enthash: ttys hopefully
