mudlark visits
Govt Mule: hello
kipley visits
mudlark: hi
kipley joined the game in slot 2
mudlark joined the game in slot 3
kipley: Howdy
Govt Mule: hello
mudlark: looks like this other game ends soonish
kipley: We can use a computer for the fourth, if you want. Or wait for a human, I'm good with whatever
Govt Mule: I'd rather not have AI so if you don't mind waiting, it shouldn't be long
kipley: No problemo
Govt Mule: funny how a game fills up to 3 almost immediately, then you end up waiting 10 mins for the 4th
Govt Mule: nobody likes being in the 4th slot?
kipley: I love being in 4th place... you win all the ties! ;-)
Govt Mule: sure, but I meant the 4th slot, since the starting order is now random
mudlark: only random the first round
Govt Mule: I should have said, 'nobody likes being purple' ;)
kipley: Yes, I was trying to be funny
kipley: It isn't easy being green
Govt Mule: heh, gotcha
kipley: And I feel blue today
mudlark: funny
Govt Mule: orange you glad I didn't say anything?
mudlark: i hate it when i go to the wrong plot because i remember last games color
Govt Mule: me too!
mudlark: lost mules that way
Govt Mule: yup, done that
Govt Mule: played back to back games and kept thinking I was the wrong color because there was another bonzoid with the color I had from the previous game
kipley: quick bathroom break...
kipley: back
Govt Mule: usually when I go for a smoke, sometime while I'm gone someone joins
Govt Mule: maybe I should go do that, if nobody has joined by the time I get back, I'll ad AI
mudlark: sure
mudlark: since he's getting a performance enhancing drug i'll go grab coffee
Govt Mule: oh boo, AI it is I guess
umikami visits
umikami joined the game in slot 4

kipley: nope, it is not
Round 1 of 12
Govt Mule: why not?
kipley: I'm being facetious
Govt Mule: lol
mudlark: somebody slow pings?
Govt Mule: I'm being gullable
umikami: i was a c64 player
umikami: you guys too?
kipley: Atari 800 for me
Govt Mule: atari
umikami: was the 800 a real computer?
umikami: i had the 2600
kipley: For the day, yes. Keyboard and Ram and everything
mudlark: c64 for me
umikami: not sure why i don't know what the 800 is
umikami: i remember amiga
Govt Mule: argh
Govt Mule: my first game of mule was only about 4 yrs ago, when a freind showed it to me on his atari
Govt Mule: same guy told me about planet mule
umikami: planet mule is my childhood fantasy
umikami: i always thought there will be a day....
mudlark: it took awhile
umikami: so many good players though
Govt Mule: wow lucky break mud
umikami: hard to win game
umikami: wow wow wow
mudlark: indeed
Round 2 of 12
umikami: crap
Govt Mule: yup, someone has a high ping
Govt Mule: it's throwing off the land auctions
umikami: green has some good land
umikami: how did you get the high already?
mudlark: 1/20th chance?
Govt Mule: was the result of the lag, he was trying for the mtn plot next to it
mudlark: thats true
umikami: i still don't believe 71% win
umikami: unless you playing computers all the time
kipley: (shrug) I play whatever game is open
umikami: so maybe starve green?
Govt Mule: and blue
umikami: geeze
umikami: he already has tite going
Govt Mule: and now you know why you should starve him ;)
umikami: don't sell him
umikami: don't do it man
umikami: doesn't matter what he pays
mudlark: doesnt it?
Round 3 of 12
umikami: you know what i just noticed?
umikami: it will sound stupid
umikami: another high tite????
kipley: That one had good odds of being high, using knowledge from previous assays
umikami: yeah i know what you mean
umikami: but i didn't have any food....
kipley: I just lost all my food. Life's rough.
umikami: i'm happy i didn't sell food last round
umikami: because i didn't produe any
Govt Mule: doh!
Round 4 of 12
umikami: i can't go any higher
umikami: hehe
umikami: i see so that's how you win games
umikami: you hack for extra plots
umikami: hehe
Govt Mule: who?
umikami: joke
kipley: heh... you're on to my secret! ; -)
Govt Mule: I've have a whole lot more than 2 wins if I was doing that
mudlark: so much for getting something for being in last place...
kipley: thus ends the energy crisis
umikami: green still has no food
umikami: even though he's got the best land
umikami: hehe
mudlark: whats wrong with your land
mudlark: bit unlucky the store burned
umikami: i take that back blue has best land
umikami: hehe
Govt Mule: this land is your land, that land is my land
mudlark: heheh
mudlark: who's the douchebag?
mudlark: for the well being of the colony somebody gimme food
mudlark: yumyum
Govt Mule: with that extra time you'll have, your first act should be to action off one of the high cystite plots ;)
Round 5 of 12
umikami: took my plot blue!
Govt Mule: you got enough land
umikami: i think blue took my high tite plot
umikami: i'm sad
kipley: we'll soon find out
umikami: it could be in one of 2 places
umikami: guessing assays is a big part of the game
umikami: green still not going food????
umikami: there he goes
umikami: oh so not tite?
mudlark: 3 highs in a row..that's a first
umikami: wow
umikami: maybe i got one then
umikami: if blue didn't steal mine
umikami: maybe i already have
umikami: i keep calling the pirates but they ignore me
Govt Mule: lots of other sectors to hit on the way here
Round 6 of 12
umikami: finally got a break
umikami: tites been high all game
mudlark: food too
Round 7 of 12
mudlark: happy hour was over
umikami: almost had a great turn
mudlark: boo
umikami: lucky!
Govt Mule: excellent
Govt Mule: you all laughed to yourselves whenI took that plot, admit it
umikami: you gotta try something green
umikami: come on pirates!!!!
Govt Mule: pirates track meteor showers
Govt Mule: they'll be along shortly
mudlark: if they were smart
mudlark: which they arent
umikami: just kidding
umikami: really need those pirates
kipley: yeah, pirates will hurt me a lot right now. Should have followed the crowd to be safe
Round 8 of 12
umikami: burn more mules green
umikami: you gotta try
umikami: oh no he didn't
umikami: oh no he didn't
umikami: hehe
Govt Mule: lol
umikami: i gotta try something
mudlark: mm wampus burger
umikami: green you selling ore or holding?
mudlark: hmm i smell pirates
umikami: need those pirates!
Govt Mule: 148!
kipley: whew
umikami: shoot
umikami: we selling green?
mudlark: i'm broke
Govt Mule: it won't go any higher anyway
umikami: if you sell
umikami: i have to sell too
umikami: 230 is highest?
mudlark: yeah
umikami: but i would rather not sell
umikami: keep blue from getting mules
Round 9 of 12
Govt Mule: crap
Govt Mule: didn't see that one
mudlark: not sure why i didnt get ast one
umikami: blue has 5 empty plots
umikami: that's a lot
umikami: mules at 460 hurts him a lot
mudlark: i want my plot
umikami: maybe orange gets the last one
kipley: Am I losing my mind, or did I lose buildings on 2 of my plots? The plots on the 4th row, closest to the river used to have crystite buildings on them prior to this turn. Unless I'm missing something.
mudlark: definitely going crazy :P
kipley: Did a special event cause me to lose my buildings?
mudlark: dont think so
umikami: arghhhhh
umikami: arghhhhh
umikami: arghhhhhh
kipley: Hmmm... not sure what to make of it. Will have to examine the log
umikami: there is a log?
kipley: Yep. You can review the whole game.
umikami: how?
kipley: The webpage scores list shows the logs.
umikami: who producing th most?
umikami: green has the most
umikami: but was that from one turn?
umikami: poor me
mudlark: you look fat
Govt Mule: shoe leather for dinner again
umikami: my dinner table looks good
umikami: i hear wood is good this time of year
umikami: i think maybe green is gonna pull this out
Round 10 of 12
Govt Mule: booo
umikami: you guys lucky i didn't go first
umikami: hehe
umikami: would have been no mulles for you
umikami: so what's the price of ore this round?
umikami: you'll all set green
mudlark: dont have enough plots
umikami: i could lose my plot
umikami: it's possible
umikami: i guess we selling?
Govt Mule: not sure if 'we' are, but I am ;)
umikami: if you are....we are
umikami: hehe
umikami: 230 is really the highest?
umikami: green is producing 30 a round
umikami: double me
umikami: looks good for you man
kipley: W?
kipley: (double you?)
Govt Mule: *rimshot*
Govt Mule: whoa, holy over production of energy
Govt Mule: were there sun spots?
umikami: how is green not wining?
Round 11 of 12
mudlark: we're all winning
umikami: hmmm.....
umikami: maybe i did not need the food there....
umikami: hard to say
umikami: it gives me time to change a few plots
umikami: but costs me a lot
mudlark: useless
Govt Mule: lol, fine time for a meteor
kipley: That's a high-crystite column, there
kipley: 43332
umikami: not sure.....
umikami: is green right?
umikami: it will go up?
mudlark: actually bought too many
mudlark: wasnt being attention
kipley: yeah, was waiting for you to pull back
umikami: not sure who will win
kipley: I'm sure I won't!
Govt Mule: won't be me
umikami: but there should be no demand for ore
umikami: next round
umikami: so price should not go up right?
kipley: Depends if someone lets all the mules go or not
umikami: could work for him
umikami: is there no spoilage roun 12?
Govt Mule: th
Govt Mule: there is
Govt Mule: he'll spoil down to 50
mudlark: a sec
umikami: so he'll lose a lot
umikami: so what happened blue?
Govt Mule: how much did he pay for it?
umikami: you had 12 plots
umikami: like me
Round 12 of 12
umikami: should green free the mules?
Govt Mule: only if he wants the price to go up
Govt Mule: no time left for that though
kipley: I'm not sure. I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but it really did seem like I lost a few buildings all of a sudden. I mean, I know you guys were holding me back from developing all my tiles, but it seemed like some of my already-devolped tiles went back to undeveloped.
kipley: Not sure if I'm seeing things, or if it was a bug
umikami: maybe a rule ran away
mudlark: is that info in the logs?
kipley: ... but since I'm not going to win, I'll assume it was a bug! Only logical explanation! ;-)
Govt Mule: earthquakes can lose mules
mudlark: they can?
Govt Mule: yup
Govt Mule: and move mountains
umikami: yeah i heard that too
kipley: That could be it
umikami: i thought about building mass farms
kipley: I wonder how many turns I left my plots undeveloped without noticing
umikami: because food price is high
umikami: you had a lot of empty plots all game
Govt Mule: sweet
mudlark: alas
Govt Mule: smithore for the loss
kipley: Should have let some mules loose, mudlark. The price would have gone up if there were no mules left
umikami: but tite is low
umikami: that's a surprise
umikami: weird game
umikami: ore higher than tite
umikami: and food maybe 150?
Govt Mule: in my last 5 games, crystite was low on rnd 12, cost me a few games
kipley: crystite's completely random... no reason it should be high or low on any given turn
umikami: good thing i didn't go farms
umikami: hehe
Govt Mule: true, just been unlucky
umikami: that's why it's hard to have 71% win
Govt Mule: not that it would have mattered in this game
umikami: this was a good game though
kipley: yes, was quite fun
umikami: we had 3 high tites all in one spot
mudlark: never know what you gonna get
umikami: i thought green was a winner for sure
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
Govt Mule: woot! i'll take 2nd place
kipley: Good game, everyone.
Govt Mule: yeah gg
mudlark: gamble didnt pay off
umikami: well you got to try
kipley: It could have, mudlark...
mudlark: fun game
umikami: so he should have made the mules run away?
kipley: if You'd only bought 50, and I boughj the rest, and we released the mules...
mudlark: yeah
Govt Mule: yeah, had he released teh mules, it should have worked
kipley: Yes, empting out the mules will raise the price
umikami: and tite was low last round
Govt Mule: but I think that will change in the next release
umikami: you had a chance
kipley: Good stuff. Catch y'all next game.
umikami: how change?
mudlark: ore is too easy too
Govt Mule: well actually in this case it still would have worked since there were empty plots
kipley left the game
Govt Mule: I thnk
kipley was disconnected
mudlark: later
mudlark left the game
mudlark was disconnected
umikami left the game
