Round 1 of 12
Round 2 of 12
Pabloncho: ill give up gambling now
Pabloncho: what/.????
Pabloncho: did not let me put it down!
Bluewulk: buy food
Pabloncho: was it my square?
Pabloncho: it was
hightekvagabond: you were above the square
Pabloncho: thats odd
hightekvagabond: you were in the square but the mule wasnt
hightekvagabond: at least on my screen
Pabloncho: tough
hightekvagabond: YAY Pirates!
Pabloncho: good at this point of the game
hightekvagabond: exactly
Chuckie Chuck: LOL, what were they stealing, I didn't see any Crystite on the map yet
hightekvagabond: price was low anyways
hightekvagabond: exactly chuckie
hightekvagabond: come on, good price
Pabloncho: i know
Kelmi: not even near
Pabloncho: 100 was good offer
Bluewulk: not really ...
hightekvagabond: hope you didn't want any energy
Chuckie Chuck: Anything over 88 is saleable, that's the computer buy/sale line
Round 3 of 12
Chuckie Chuck: I'm used to playing against AI on the C64, I'm good at that
Pabloncho: bold move
hightekvagabond: yeah, I know it was pretty bold, hopefully it pays off
Chuckie Chuck: Two different strategies that worked for me, 1 Get just enough energy and food to meet my needs and focus on Crystite, and don't let the computer sale anything to the store except limited ammounts of smithore (which is all the computer wants to do anyways, is mine smithore)
Pabloncho: mathematically speaking, to pay off 800 for a lot is directly proportional to the output of 1200 in the next rounds
Chuckie Chuck: or 2... focus on doing all food and energy plots and drain the computer out of food and energy and then sale it to the computer at insane prices hiring than the mining minerals were worth.
Pabloncho: are we selling/.
Pabloncho: good move
Chuckie Chuck: I would sell some smithore, you only have 4 mules left.
hightekvagabond: use 4 mules and it will be 230 next time
Chuckie Chuck: Mules cost double what the store will pay for smithore, the more you sell for smithore the more you loose on the mule
Chuckie Chuck: Hope it's worth the trade off
Chuckie Chuck: Once the mules hit $460, you got to sale at least 4 smithore to make a reasonable profit over what the 1 mule cost.
Round 4 of 12
Chuckie Chuck: I like to keep the smithore right around 80 to 100, keeps the mules tolerable, $230 for a unit of smithore is $460 for a mule
Chuckie Chuck: hehe, the drive up the price idea to overpay yourself is exactly why the US is in economic hurt (that's the bank owners trick)
Chuckie Chuck: Balance makes a better game
hightekvagabond: I'm a little glad you were low on money Pab, so you didn't use more then one mule :P
hightekvagabond: it would suck to have paid for that food and not have a mule to use
Bluewulk: ?
hightekvagabond: crap!
hightekvagabond: forgot to make it food
hightekvagabond: just spaced
hightekvagabond: doh!
Bluewulk: givin up?
hightekvagabond: was so anxious to get up to my food plot I forgot to equip my mule for food
Chuckie Chuck: I don't get what Kelmi is doin
Kelmi: never tried this before... let's see if it works :)
hightekvagabond: no, he isn't giving up, he is keeping the price of smithore from rocketing
Bluewulk: won't work
Chuckie Chuck: they still have to produce mules
Kelmi: of course... should have remembered the ore demand rule :)
Kelmi: i made a huge mistake there :)
Round 5 of 12
hightekvagabond: no, my huge mistake that will cost me the game was the whole not equiping my mule for food
hightekvagabond: at this point I'm pretty much screwed
Chuckie Chuck: might have just enough food to plant food now hightek
Pabloncho: this is getting canibalistic
Kelmi: :D
hightekvagabond: I am hoping so
Kelmi: i need food too :)
hightekvagabond: would of liked 2 but maybe 1 will do it
Bluewulk: that's real MULE ;)
Pabloncho: naw... dont sell now
Round 6 of 12
hightekvagabond: doh!
Kelmi: my words exactly
Bluewulk: LAND, precious LAND!
hightekvagabond: FOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
hightekvagabond: look at all that wonderful food!
Bluewulk: damn lag
hightekvagabond: no more food shortage either
Chuckie Chuck: sale blue, you need money to by a mule
Round 7 of 12
hightekvagabond: I think chuckie is enjoying this game more then us
hightekvagabond: now we know the real reason you hosted, you are a nule voyer
Chuckie Chuck: lol
Chuckie Chuck: I just now got the call from my ex to go get the kids
Chuckie Chuck: she's not very timely
Pabloncho: probably why she is your ex now
Chuckie Chuck: no, but it didn't bug me before she was my ex, now it drives me nuts cause it screws my schedule up a lot
hightekvagabond: timely is on the bottom of my list of reasons for the creation of ex's :P
Chuckie Chuck: cheating is at the top of my reasons
hightekvagabond: Ex's don't respect your time, as a matter of fact they go out of their way to waste it
hightekvagabond: being a fucking cunt is at the top of mine :P
hightekvagabond: I have two of them
Chuckie Chuck: well, we'll see how that works for her, she blew off the last new mediation appointments in a row
Chuckie Chuck: so I'm not the only one that's frustrated with her
hightekvagabond: lucky you got that back in time pablo
Chuckie Chuck: She thinks she can do whatever she wants, don't think the judge agrees
Chuckie Chuck: Things will be changing soon
hightekvagabond: Women have a hudge advantage in family court, specially when there are children involved, but I think they still overestimate that advantage too much
Chuckie Chuck: yeah, she definately does
Chuckie Chuck: She had the judge pretty much yelling at her last time, this time, I don't know what to expect
Chuckie Chuck: Like she didn't hear a word he said to her
Chuckie Chuck: well, gotta run
hightekvagabond: good luck
Pabloncho: make her late, too
hightekvagabond: hey blue, what is with the bouncing?
Bluewulk: doin that just for fun
Round 8 of 12
hightekvagabond: too bad you can't outfit the mules with weapons and drop them on other people's plots
Kelmi: the game is about co-operation too after all :)
hightekvagabond: I see a lot of not co operation :P
Pabloncho: hey dont say P as in me bro
Pabloncho: oh that was a smiley
hightekvagabond: yeah, that was a smiley
hightekvagabond: self conscience much? :P
hightekvagabond: did that mountain just move?
Kelmi: yes, i've spotted that too :)
hightekvagabond: crazy
Kelmi: funny detail
Bluewulk: that's an Atari MULE feature
Kelmi: too bad they don't move from a plot to another
hightekvagabond: it did, just not plots that were owend
Kelmi: really?
hightekvagabond: yeah
hightekvagabond: sorry blue, I was typing or I'd of come down faster on that....you just jumped the gun
Bluewulk: you don't need to apologize, high - that's business ;)
Round 9 of 12
Kelmi: lag
Bluewulk: yeah
hightekvagabond: it's not business it's oo-operation ;)
Bluewulk: well, when we play MULE at home, there's zero co-operation ...
Bluewulk: ... since there can be only one first founder!
hightekvagabond: when I'm being mean on purpose in a game I grin and gloat, but when I intend to be nice and screw up I appologise *shrugs*
hightekvagabond: this is really a close game all around if you don't pay attention to kelmi :P
Pabloncho: thx
hightekvagabond: I beat him to the line :P
Round 10 of 12
Pabloncho: great job
hightekvagabond: wow, I guess we are going to see who has the fastest space bar int he west next round
Pabloncho: purple is going to win it since its located in the fourth round
Pabloncho: slot
hightekvagabond: that part of the game is broken
Bluewulk: you sure? ;)
hightekvagabond: yeah
hightekvagabond: I've had too many people take my plots when I was last
Pabloncho: pirates come!
Pabloncho: lets hold until the next round guys
Pabloncho: CRAP
Pabloncho: dont sell now
Pabloncho: man
hightekvagabond: if I hold it will just help you guys win :P
Bluewulk: sorry, I thinks it's enough.
Pabloncho: really think so.
Pabloncho: Kelmi is making 2000 per round
Bluewulk: tasty!
Pabloncho: i ha
Pabloncho: make them sweat it out
hightekvagabond: didn't want to sell to kelmi, hard to manage that :P
Round 11 of 12
Pabloncho: see
Kelmi: that's my plot :(
Bluewulk: wow
Pabloncho: you shoudl not act surprised
Bluewulk: I did not deserve it
Bluewulk: should have been Pablo's plot
Pabloncho: no hard feelings
Pabloncho: 4th slot gets it
Pabloncho: but, also 4th slot statisically may not get mules when they run out
hightekvagabond: that depends.... if there are more then 7 mules in the stall then if someone forces a run out yeah, he doesn't, otherwise if there are less then 7 we go low first then high
Bluewulk: oh, did not know that
hightekvagabond: good news for you guys, I ditched my smithore mule so I'm not going to be lowering your market anymore
hightekvagabond: I don't need the food, I'm on a diet
Pabloncho: bust the bank boys
Round 12 of 12
