Round 1 of 12
buidheo: hit your space bar poly
Polyrythmmm: now outfit it
plimpton: where?
Polyrythmmm: for work maybe mining
Polyrythmmm: to your left and up
plimpton: which one?
Polyrythmmm: now drop it on your plot
Polyrythmmm: quick
Polyrythmmm: outside
buidheo: go out
plimpton: haha
plimpton: sucks to be first
Polyrythmmm: sorry it would have been easier to watch first
Polyrythmmm: it's ok if you're fast you can place two mules in one turn
Polyrythmmm: so next turn plan to place both a smithore mule on your mountain plot... and maybe food or energy on another
buidheo: hit space
plimpton: which icon is smithore?
Polyrythmmm: you need food for time on your turn
Polyrythmmm: Oh second from the left in the shop
Polyrythmmm: is smithore
Polyrythmmm: food on the far right
plimpton: so food first probaly
plimpton: then smithore if there's time
Polyrythmmm: yes
Polyrythmmm: but you also need energy or your plots dont produce anything
Round 2 of 12
Polyrythmmm: so during the auction phase
Polyrythmmm: It tells you if you have enough food and energy
statix: food for time.. look at the orange bar at the right-hand side
statix: enough food. bar is full
plimpton: how many mules can you have in a plot?
Polyrythmmm: one
Polyrythmmm: but you can always swap it for a different mule if you arent happy with what its making
plimpton: should i mine with my mountain and then food in the river?
statix: check out http://www.planetmule.com/how-to-play if you ahven't already
Polyrythmmm: yes
statix: yes
plimpton: only got halfway down the page
statix: that's the best
statix: great but you're short on time as you're short on food
statix: else you could've bought 2 mules
buidheo: HIT YOUR SPACE BAR
Polyrythmmm: so this time you'll def have enough food
plimpton: yeah, didn't have enough time
Polyrythmmm: if you dont have enough you must buy it
statix: ore is for making of mules
statix: when mules are short, ores price will rise
plimpton: how do things spoil? random?
Polyrythmmm: sort of
buidheo: 2:1 food, 4:1 energy, over 50 smithore
statix: food spoil the most
Round 3 of 12
Polyrythmmm: that is crystite mining
Polyrythmmm: the 75 dollar one is smithore
Polyrythmmm: they're alittle different
plimpton: ahh for crap sake
statix: it's ok.. first game
statix: you'll learn. :)
Polyrythmmm: it's pok crystite is very valuable at times too
statix: no!!!!!!!
plimpton: ran away?
statix: he's just wasting mules so we don't get any
Polyrythmmm: hey none left for me!
plimpton: how do you do hunting?
Polyrythmmm: silly idea really
Polyrythmmm: Oh hunting
Polyrythmmm: spot the blue wupus
plimpton: just click on mountain spots?
Polyrythmmm: wumpus.. the go to him and click the space bar
statix: you don't wanna buy when it's high
statix: you buy low, sell high
Polyrythmmm: awesome thanks buidheo for driving the price up by spending on waste mules :)
statix: good price
Polyrythmmm: good sell that
Polyrythmmm: at that price SELL
Polyrythmmm: sell
Polyrythmmm: sell
Polyrythmmm: good
statix: above $100 is good for crys
plimpton: all the way down?
Polyrythmmm: meany
statix: haha
statix: build?
Polyrythmmm: dude you NEED energy!
statix: lol yeah!
Round 4 of 12
statix: he's probably afk
statix: oh no he's not
Polyrythmmm: Hey I thought I hadit
buidheo: Because I was ahead of you?
Polyrythmmm: on my screen I was quite far ahead... what's your ping?
statix: expensive mule
statix: i saw buid ahead
Polyrythmmm: what's YOUR ping?
plimpton: shouldn't have sold it
Polyrythmmm: nuts
statix: ouch
statix: 6 units
Polyrythmmm: yup brutal! how am I going to eat?!
statix: ol
statix: lol
Polyrythmmm: oh that's how
statix: damn
Round 5 of 12
buidheo: ouch
buidheo: $$$$
plimpton: enough for a mule?
plimpton: that works
statix: nice play
Polyrythmmm: yeah now you've got it..
plimpton: tired of no food
Polyrythmmm: I feel bad luck coming on again!
plimpton: energy went down?
statix: you lack of 1 energy
statix: hit space to speed this phase up
Polyrythmmm: WHAT!
buidheo: ouch
statix: lol
plimpton: woo, loads of food now
Polyrythmmm: The new update says that cant happen
Polyrythmmm: doesnt it
statix: cool
Polyrythmmm: Not cool
statix: that it doens't happen twice is cool
statix: unfair to you
Polyrythmmm: It does!
Polyrythmmm: It just bloody happened
Polyrythmmm: :)
Polyrythmmm: ugh
Polyrythmmm: that was an expensive dinner
Polyrythmmm: I bet I get Glac elves this turn
plimpton: energy horders!
Round 6 of 12
statix: now you get the game
statix: :)
statix: damn
plimpton: auctions are random with each round?
plimpton: close one
Polyrythmmm: Apparently with the new update.. if you type Pirates 3 times in the text field... they come!
statix: meteor meteor meteor
Polyrythmmm: Pirates Pirates Pirates
plimpton: meh, need land
statix: almost
Polyrythmmm: nuts
statix: lol
plimpton: ahh crap
Polyrythmmm: Finally!
Round 7 of 12
Polyrythmmm: mine mine
plimpton: eww
Polyrythmmm: grrr
plimpton: again?
buidheo: absurd
Polyrythmmm: ooo 140
Round 8 of 12
Polyrythmmm: how many legs they supposed to have?
plimpton: screwed
Polyrythmmm: hmmm
Polyrythmmm: more than 50...
Polyrythmmm: I might have mucked that up...
plimpton: why can't i produce any cystite?
plimpton: am i just in the wrong spot?
Polyrythmmm: well... either your lands are not rich in the hidden crystite..
Polyrythmmm: OR... various other factors
Polyrythmmm: $5
Polyrythmmm: yikes
Polyrythmmm: and no wumpus!
Round 9 of 12
Polyrythmmm: also plimp only 1 oof your lands is now outfitted for crystite
Polyrythmmm: the rest are ALL making energy
plimpton: yeah, not really making me much
Polyrythmmm: unusual strategy
plimpton: you think i actually have a strategy? heh
Polyrythmmm: might work if you demand alot for energy
plimpton: something to sell
plimpton: not much demand for anything besides food
buidheo: lucky with that deposit up in the top right
Polyrythmmm: Boooo
plimpton: ouch
Polyrythmmm: Boooo
Polyrythmmm: yeay
buidheo: the economics in this game are not the same as the old one.
Polyrythmmm: um what's different?
buidheo: You would never get $230 smithore on turn 9
plimpton: that's way high
Polyrythmmm: I made it be that price
Polyrythmmm: so yes you would
plimpton: how do you drive prices up?
buidheo: Listen to me - in the OLD game, you would never get those prices on turn 9
statix: lol
Polyrythmmm: I did used to play it...
plimpton: too bad food isn't worth your while late in the game
plimpton: no money in it
Polyrythmmm: can be depends if others are producing their own
buidheo: how is that energy production working out for you?
buidheo: You are an idiot to dump your energy for $10
plimpton: not all that great either
statix: come on buid
buidheo: Hold on to it
Polyrythmmm: strong words against the beginner buid
Round 10 of 12
buidheo: nothing meant by it
plimpton: would the price be different any other way?
buidheo: Point is, store your energy and make it last to the end of the game and convert over your solar grids
plimpton: not sure what you mean about converting
buidheo: If statix told you that earlier, he would not have benefited by your sale
buidheo: trade the mules into something else that makes more than $10
Polyrythmmm: we shall see... he means that if you have a stock pile of energy at the end of the game you can rely on it to not have to keep your lands making energy
statix: you made me sound like i'm trying to be dishonest
statix: i have no such intentions
plimpton: what else should i try on my lands though
Polyrythmmm: Ore and crystite are the money crops
buidheo: sure, fine, but I at least I am teaching (with strong words maybe) BEFORE I take advantage of him
buidheo: Crystite
statix: poly and I were teaching all the way
Polyrythmmm: yes you're right... I didnt mean to insult you either
plimpton: this game has MUCH nicer games than most multiplayer games
plimpton: heh
Polyrythmmm: Pirates Pirates Pirates
buidheo: also, plots produce better when they are together - or they did in the old game
statix: same here buid
Polyrythmmm: yay
statix: lol
buidheo: see? Never in the old game - it would never be like that.
buidheo: Ever
statix: ok this isn't right because there's no need for mules anymore
statix: no demand
buidheo: Never ever ever - turn 10 - mental
buidheo: mental
Polyrythmmm: I'm runnin this game... :)
statix: it's ok buid you can exploit it too
Polyrythmmm: pirates will kill me!
buidheo: Well, I have to find out about it first and then redo my strategy developed over 30 years
statix: how old are you?
Polyrythmmm: yup it's a new game a bit
Polyrythmmm: I was the only guy I knew who could even place the mule reliably!
buidheo: Right - you had to be dead on
Polyrythmmm: yup I miss that
buidheo: See, plimpton? He spoils, but not too much and doesn't need plots to make energy
buidheo: never sell energy at the end
Polyrythmmm: If there are no pirates this round I've got it clinched
Round 11 of 12
buidheo: We are all screwed if you, so you win anyway
Polyrythmmm: true.. thanks everybody .. thanks plimp for hosting..
statix: gg
plimpton: i might figure it out someday
statix: lol there's still 1 more round to go
plimpton: more reading
statix: you're almost there, plimp
plimpton: can't find good production slots
buidheo: Whole new dynamic - you can make smithore and corner it for the whole game
Polyrythmmm: well.. you can also ruin the control for the guy trying to do that if you watch out for it
statix: come on.. lose gracefully
Polyrythmmm: So it can be a losing game too
statix: i lose too. but i don't whine like that
statix: lol gg now
Polyrythmmm: No!!!!!
buidheo: Hey - stop reading things into my text that aren't there. I am just discussing strategy
Polyrythmmm: Stragety!
buidheo: Mental
plimpton: what was that event?
statix: i had like 120 crystite!
statix: all crystites are stolen
buidheo: Pirates steal all crystite, but not on turn 12 (or so in the old game)
Polyrythmmm: same here
plimpton: oh fun
Polyrythmmm: I lost all that that I bought off of you guys at 83
buidheo: Well, you had to figure it would happen
Polyrythmmm: yeah I had it in the gut but I am ambitious
Polyrythmmm: too ambitious
buidheo: See? Statix can conver over his solar properties this turn
Polyrythmmm: oh booo
Round 12 of 12
statix: i would've sold more had you gone up further
buidheo: he does not have enough power, so he is converting over other stuff
Polyrythmmm: hmmm.
Polyrythmmm: I mucked it up a bit
Polyrythmmm: but I still think I've got it
buidheo: by a lot
plimpton: i dunno, i'm pretty close =]
Polyrythmmm: If the crystite price is Huge Static could have a chance here
statix: no way
statix: no chance after the pirate event
statix: can't make 7000
Polyrythmmm: hey I had 50 crystite that turn too
Polyrythmmm: so the gain you made is pretty close
buidheo: But see, without the pirates, you would have had maybe 40K - this was unheard of in the old game
Polyrythmmm: no I still have the old game and I can get 50000
buidheo: see, my "0" crystites still make crystite
Polyrythmmm: natural variance bettween plus and minus 3
buidheo: well, smithore is the way to go since you can jerk the market around
Polyrythmmm: yes always has been though...
Polyrythmmm: you need a good amount even to stop someone doing the same
Polyrythmmm: yuck 64
Polyrythmmm: I win then
statix: all move to buy. skip auction
buidheo: well, it can be done, but in the old game the smithore people got stuck with bad deposits later and it was of no value.
buidheo: also, there seem to be more fires in this
Polyrythmmm: yeah the events are a little different
Polyrythmmm: I'm also not crazy about the graphics
