Round 1 of 12
mountainwampus: oops
mountainwampus: got the wrong plot!
Sgt York: it happens
Sgt York: what plot did u want??
mountainwampus: Nevermind, got the right plot. I thought I was Orange!!! lol
Sgt York: haha.. i kept thinking i was orange also
mountainwampus: nice
mountainwampus: only sell smithore for 150-230
Sgt York: we in trouble now
mountainwampus: we fine
Sgt York: i need dthe capitol and notin a position to let somoene else run away w/it
mountainwampus: 1 unit is enough for time for 1 mule
mountainwampus: 1st place is a drag
Sgt York: if u have more energy than needed - does ithelp production more???
Round 2 of 12
japa-fi: no
mountainwampus: Nope, just want extra for the future
Sgt York: i really hate that - wish they would fix it
Sgt York: anyone who runs it up beyond minimum - should not be able to get off of it - and have to buy it at what they put it up to
mountainwampus: thats a classic MULE flaw
japa-fi: I agree with that
mountainwampus: but I kinda think it reflects reality
Sgt York: see the minimum goes up also - person who runs it up should be FORCED to buy it at the minimum
Sgt York: no u cannot put a contract on a piece of land, and back out of it that way
japa-fi: In real auction, you are required to byu if you offer something
Sgt York: exactly
mountainwampus: yeah, but a lot of bidders flake and people with money can always price fix/conspire to shut out poor folks
japa-fi: I needed the cash
Sgt York: i'm trying to keep the cost down instead of playing into wamp's hands
mountainwampus: good plan
Round 3 of 12
mountainwampus: I usually like to slack early in games, while building up good plots of land, being 1st, you'll always get hit by bad events
Sgt York: i c
japa-fi: you had enough money... why didn't buy mule
mountainwampus: I only had enough for 1 mule, not outfitting :(
Sgt York: why did orange get the sell, when i was on the ine irst at same cost?? curious
japa-fi: Was he behind you in rankings?
japa-fi: previous round..
mountainwampus: yeah, rank is everything
Sgt York: i c
japa-fi: I wanted to sell 1
japa-fi: !
Sgt York: is the cost something sells for - even 1 unit - a big factor in what the store cost is??
japa-fi: Auch, 1st.. :(
Round 4 of 12
japa-fi: Lost the 1 spot to York..
Sgt York: ouch
mountainwampus: FFF
mountainwampus: so close
mountainwampus: freeze?
japa-fi: ??
Sgt York: wha appn
japa-fi: let me play!!
Sgt York: game locked with eumel??
mountainwampus: Sgt might have to kick someone
japa-fi: Lets wait for a minute
Sgt York: looks like eumel
Sgt York: btw, if someone leaves, can they return as a visitor and take back over a bot??
eumel-123: ?
mountainwampus: no
japa-fi: All seems to be alive, so I woner what is taking so long..
mountainwampus: BTW version 1.2.0 has been really glitchy
Sgt York: eumel - whatsup?? is urs locked?
eumel-123: no
mountainwampus: This is really common.
Sgt York: what do i need to do?
mountainwampus: kick eumel
Sgt York: my screen shows eumel in the pub...
mountainwampus: It's not gonna unfreeze
eumel-123: i am not in
Computer takes over eumel-123
eumel-123 was kicked
Sgt York: sell him 1
Sgt York: if 1 got sold - wouldn'dt it have driven up the base price??
japa-fi: was on phone
Round 5 of 12
japa-fi: What a stupid move.. why didn't I put energy?
mountainwampus: yeah, we need a lot more energy
Sgt York: sheww.. busy round for u
mountainwampus: nice
japa-fi: heck, the crystite plot produced nothing
mountainwampus: 1 please?
mountainwampus: nice THANKS
japa-fi: That was expensive meal :)
Sgt York: LOL - gotta get what i can - while i can - lol
japa-fi: Heck, this sells too quickly
japa-fi: Bought more than needed
Round 6 of 12
japa-fi: No wonder i didn't get energy last round
Sgt York: see - selling 1 unit- made the base price go crazy
japa-fi: crazyass price
Round 7 of 12
mountainwampus: oops
mountainwampus: BUTTON!!
japa-fi: Acid rain?
japa-fi: 3 units?
Round 8 of 12
mountainwampus: medium crystite!!
japa-fi: AAAWWW crap
mountainwampus: nice!
japa-fi: the last plot: I would have got it free, unless I'm 1st after 2 rounds.
Sgt York: wtf??
japa-fi: Now there is 6 plots left: 1 for each and then 1 for those in places 3 and 4
Sgt York: that was my plot - why did mule run away????
japa-fi: So if i would not have bought it, those in positions 2,3,4 would have got 2 plots (myself included).
japa-fi: Iron speculant
mountainwampus: pirates must be coming
japa-fi: again it bought 2
Sgt York: why is energy ot going up???
Sgt York: none in store and i bought one for over 150 to drive it up - it's not going up
mountainwampus: because everyone has it
mountainwampus: supply and demand
Sgt York: if someoe paid a high price - that should drive it up tho
Sgt York: itworked on food
mountainwampus: Oh yeah, why did you do that?
Round 9 of 12
mountainwampus: that's not the proper way to price fix
mountainwampus: food went high that one time because I had a shortage
Sgt York: but i had bought one for over 200 also.. and it went high next round
Sgt York: if someone buyz high.. that menas there is a demand
mountainwampus: unless yr buying high to fake demand
Sgt York: which is what i did
Sgt York: it worked w/food - didn't work w/energy
japa-fi: I fear pirates...
mountainwampus: it only worked with energy because I had a shortage though
mountainwampus: I mean food
japa-fi: gimme a break!
Sgt York: holy chit
mountainwampus: I had a shortage because of a energy shortage, that is why food spiked
japa-fi: anything above 50 will spoil if I'm not mistaken (crystite)
mountainwampus: correct
mountainwampus: smithore too
Sgt York: does having more energy than needed - increas production???
mountainwampus: no
Round 10 of 12
mountainwampus: But cheap energy is awesome!
mountainwampus: I'll buy it all day, eventually I will convert all energy plots to crystite
Sgt York: if crystite mulie is put on 0 - it doesn't produce does it??
mountainwampus: yes it will
Sgt York: as if japa needed more crystite - LOL
Round 11 of 12
mountainwampus: haha
Sgt York: my places are too spread out. I got the one down at bottom left just so u couldn't connect those 3 - lol
Sgt York: imho - crystite 0 should not produce any crystite
mountainwampus: it's more bonuses
Sgt York: i don't understand why my crystite-2 produced 1 bar.. and i have more than 3 also
Round 12 of 12
mountainwampus: Looks like Japa, big time
Sgt York: i'm just trying to beat out the bot - LOL
Sgt York: he was ahead of me by 300
mountainwampus: I think you will
Sgt York: the more u have of a type - the more they 'all' produce???
Sgt York: energy and food prices do not go up/down large enough
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
japa-fi left the game
Sgt York: hey mountain..
japa-fi was disconnected
Sgt York: how did japa get his production rate so high???
mountainwampus: He had a lot of highs
mountainwampus: and a super high meteorite
Sgt York: how did he manage w/o having food/energy tho?
mountainwampus: and he's got 13 plots
Sgt York: i had 2 foot.. and 2 energy - and i was struggling w/energy the whole time
mountainwampus: You should have tried to stock up on energy like I was doing
Sgt York: i don't undersatnd why stock - when it just spoils
Sgt York: seems lik emoney down the drain
mountainwampus: the computer was selling for $10/ per unit
mountainwampus: Even if you have 4 or 5 spoil, it's still cheap and worth it
Sgt York: but if u buy 10 extra (100) and then 10 spoil - what's the point??
mountainwampus: very few will spoil. It's always worth it to stock up on energy, not having enough will KILL you
Sgt York: constantly selling smithore will help keep the cost down so someone doesn't go ape on it
mountainwampus: Then, if you stock up enough, you can switch over all yr energy mules to Crystite at month 10
Sgt York: if they do - then it's basically a crystite game
Sgt York: yes, i can see that - converting at 10 or 11
Sgt York: so that ur value isn't only 10 (energy) but more like 50-80 for crystite for the last day
mountainwampus: Yeah, you really killed my smithore monopoly. I probably could have beaten Japa if smithore ever got up to $230
Sgt York: if i was producing as much as u - i wouldn't have done it
Sgt York: but i couldn't keep up
Sgt York: so i tried to keep the cost down
Sgt York: but then japa just kept going ape chit on crystite
Sgt York: i was trying to buy the 2's around his 3's.. but it didn't seem to matter
mountainwampus: yeah, no way to control Crystite price
Sgt York: i think he got a lot of bonus by having 2 next to each other - mine were diagnal too much
mountainwampus: You get production bonuses for adjacent plots and for having more than 3 of 1 type
Sgt York: live/learn.. i appreciate the game and talk
mountainwampus: if you have 12 crystites, you get a huge bonus
Sgt York: really?
Sgt York: i still say.. Crystite0 should produce 0
mountainwampus: I had 11 so I only got the scale bonus 3X
Sgt York: like drilling for oil, where there is no oil.. and getting oil
mountainwampus: It's based on real economics
Sgt York: loosely
mountainwampus: If you only have 1 crystite plot with "none" you won't produce. It's all about getting bonuses
Sgt York: 'each' group of 3 = bonus?? not just a single bonus for having 3 or more??
mountainwampus: ??
mountainwampus: there are two types of bonuses, "Scale" and "Proximity"
mountainwampus: Scale is an extra unit for every 3 mules of one type, regardless of location
Sgt York: gotcha "EVERY" 3.. not just a SINGLE bonus for 3 or more
mountainwampus: if you have a block of 6 Crystites all touching, yr getting an extra 5 units. (3 prox bonuses and 2 scale bonuses)
Sgt York: if u have a block of 4..is it 2 prox bonuses or 4?
mountainwampus: 2
mountainwampus: You get the bonus for every two
Sgt York: i'm going to exit out - want to try it one more time if others are around
Sgt York: tnx for insights
mountainwampus: one thing I'm not sure of is how many bonuses you get for a block of 3
mountainwampus: Alright. peace out!
