Round 1 of 12
poobslag: that was a very weird turn
poobslag: what was that about jeremy
randomX: maybe lowering the mule numbers to rais demand for sMT ?
poobslag: i suppose
poobslag: but if so then set it free and go to the pub
Xpovos: We're a self-made fire.
randomX: :)
Jeremy Woyshner: i dont want to be anywhere near first place
poobslag: tsk laggy
randomX: what ping you get
randomX: ?
poobslag: 206
Round 2 of 12
Jeremy Woyshner: 222
randomX: thats ok... i have an i7... so dont know where the lag come from...
poobslag: yeah with most people i have closer to 60-80 ms so 200 is pretty high
poobslag: where are you geographically?
Xpovos: I'm 215 so geo makes sense.
randomX: israel. you guys ?
Xpovos: U.S.
Jeremy Woyshner: buffalo ny
poobslag: that explains it
Xpovos: Definitely.
randomX: :) sorry - wrong side of the world :)
poobslag: we're screwing them right randomx?
poobslag: haay
poobslag: you guys are gonna make a mint off smithore i want a piece
randomX: sorry - missed your msg...
Xpovos: Ugh.
poobslag: yea mr two smithore plots
randomX: ha - now im screwed !
poobslag: wait you're screwed? oh energy
poobslag: pshh you can shift
Round 3 of 12
randomX: ill do just that
randomX: stocked some food earlier
poobslag: five mules? cool so that's one for each of us
poobslag: right guys
poobslag: :D
Xpovos: Still no random events. Strange
poobslag: randomx had one, he got $50
poobslag: made out like a very ineffective bandit
Xpovos: Right, but none for me, and nothing global.
randomX: saying that just asked it !
randomX: and there you go..
poobslag: aww zero crystite
randomX: why not assay first ?
poobslag: i did assay,
Xpovos: It might go higer, but i need money.
poobslag: it's a medium plot it should produce 2
poobslag: just rotten luck
randomX: haha... nice work
Round 4 of 12
randomX: too rich 4 my blood
poobslag: there's one more plot for your blood
poobslag: maybe your blood will like that one better
randomX: you set the bar high so now its pricey...
poobslag: what, blood?
Xpovos: Augh!
Xpovos: Good to know we can lose money gambling too.
poobslag: yeah you have to be a very bad gambler though
Xpovos: Hah
poobslag: is he in 1st or 2nd?
poobslag: i thought he was in 2nd
poobslag: if so that's awful
Xpovos: No, i'm in first, or was.
randomX: isnt it random ?
poobslag: pest attack? it always hits 1st place player,
Xpovos: Yes, but first place always gets bad random.
poobslag: or maybe sometimes it hits 2nd place, but it's rare
poobslag: xpovos you're in a dangerous place if you don't break out of this cycle
randomX: nicely played poob
Xpovos: Ha, not going to be in first place any longer...
poobslag: still got first though from that smithore nonsense
Round 5 of 12
poobslag: maybe i shouldn't play MULE with my friends :) i like my friends
poobslag: MULE can get ugly
poobslag: wow close
Xpovos: What are you talking about, we play Diplomacy...
poobslag: hah hah true
Xpovos: You're France, I'm England.
Xpovos: We're at each others throats!
Xpovos: Well, no more pests and I should be oK.
poobslag: these chats are logged, i'm pleading the fifth here
poobslag: maybe we're at eachother's throats and maybe we're not
Xpovos: Hehe.
randomX: :)
Xpovos: Owie.
randomX: oh no
randomX: need my food
poobslag: replaced an energy plot?
poobslag: and yeah that's the worst plot to lose xpovos
Xpovos: What is with that energy plot, it's given me nothing all game.
poobslag: in a field?
Xpovos: No, mountains, but it has literally given me I think three units. Bad spot, but not that bad.
poobslag: mountains is what, 1 energy + or - 1
poobslag: so if we're on turn 5 it should have given you 5 energy so far
Xpovos: It's the worst location.
poobslag: gotta at least get your 15 seconds in
randomX: damn
poobslag: how come we never get the "The colony has a shortage of energy!" message?
poobslag: isn't this a shortage?
Xpovos: Not implemented, I hear.
Round 6 of 12
poobslag: wow didn't think i'd get that in 1st place
Xpovos: Yes.
poobslag: xpovos i'll sell you food if you promise to change that stupid energy plot to something useful
Xpovos: Trying!
poobslag: lol
randomX: lol
Xpovos: Much better.
randomX: heheh
poobslag: bah
poobslag: sorry xpov don't know how i beat you to the line
Xpovos: I got a slow start and hesitated. Also, lag. :-)
Round 7 of 12
poobslag: hate that
poobslag: that's the 3rd time it's happened
poobslag: someone grabs a plot and it skips to the next one right away
randomX: why not mine the mountain
poobslag: i guess smithore prices are decent now
Xpovos: Store fire will drive them up again, but not quite as bad.
Xpovos: I'd get some EoS from mining, though, so I should have.
poobslag: i think it'll be just as bad
poobslag: this turn it'll probably go up a little like 80 and next turn, 230
poobslag: heh make that like 100
randomX: nice block
poobslag: ty
poobslag: radiation was a killer though
randomX: crystite isnt affected by traid right ?
Xpovos: Uh, big spike.
poobslag: why isn't it trading?
Xpovos: There we go.
poobslag: huh
randomX: that should move things in the right direction
Round 8 of 12
Xpovos: Crap, didn't want that one.
randomX: jeremy stole mine :)
poobslag: he was just above you
poobslag: if you wree lookin for the wampus
poobslag: bad turn to get into first xpovos sorry
Xpovos: Yeah, it'll work out.
Xpovos: It's the economy of runs and busts.
Xpovos: Hmm.
poobslag: ouch
poobslag: did you know acid rain only affects the row the cloud hits?
poobslag: i just read that today
randomX: that dumping will win the game ?
randomX: man im loosing badly...
Xpovos: My problem is that I need to stop playing against Poob. Ruining my record.
randomX: lol
poobslag: heh i don't think i'm gonna win this game, with zero smithore the whole game
poobslag: or if i win with zero smithore - it will be the first time ever
randomX: well, that plan failed...
poobslag: le sigh
poobslag: energy ees expenseeve
Round 9 of 12
randomX: oh crap
poobslag: heh heh
poobslag: it shows me at $1336 but...
poobslag: at least there's another plot i guess
Xpovos: Augh!
poobslag: not purple
Xpovos: Blind in the eye.
poobslag: that's unfortunate
Xpovos: Very.
Xpovos: But, no complaints, did it myself.
poobslag: hmm betting on a store fire?
poobslag: this is excruciating
Xpovos: Spread the pirate risk, share the reward.
poobslag: heh heh yeah, hedging my bets
poobslag: i don't think i need to be greedy in my position
poobslag: heh wow
Xpovos: I need time to correct my mistake.
poobslag: hmm
poobslag: it's only like what 8 extra seconds
