Round 1 of 12
drakkoth: On occasion
maskdbandt: heh i waited whole time to see what you all picked first :)
maskdbandt: i already can tell this game will be good... no newbs
Paladinian: At least until someone glitches and an AI has to take over. :(
maskdbandt: ah that'll suck
drakkoth: heh
maskdbandt: hope that doesn't happen
drakkoth: I was in some awful games w/ some n00bs earlier.
maskdbandt: i have to say i hope for a fire since you all picked ore plots
drakkoth: :)
drakkoth: That happens about 90% of the time when i host.
Paladinian: And I hope for food-eating pests, I guess? :)
daver: seems fair
maskdbandt: yeah sometimes with newbs, just too easy
drakkoth: You won't be hungry for a bit.
maskdbandt: pirates would've been ok too
maskdbandt: oh well
maskdbandt: last game no one would sell me food for the longest time but i got a pkg... it was quite satisfying
drakkoth: I lost thx to some n00bs
drakkoth: They weere buying chrysite for $200
maskdbandt: heh that happens too
Paladinian: *chuckle* Oh, mercy. :)
maskdbandt: pi$$es me off too
Round 2 of 12
maskdbandt: i should've bought somethiing else :)
maskdbandt: sorry paladinian, you should've been able to get that one before me
drakkoth: Host latency isn't so bad :P
maskdbandt: it'll be nice if they can fix that bug so host doesn't have that adv sometimes
maskdbandt: but i still have to go for it :-/
drakkoth: I don't mind it when i host of course :P
maskdbandt: yeah, lol
maskdbandt: drakkoth, did you ever play drakkhen by chance?
drakkoth: C64 game?
maskdbandt: yeah
drakkoth: I think so but I think I only recently found it on an emulator
maskdbandt: i never understood it because i didn't have the rules so i never could figure out what to do
drakkoth: It wasn't in one of my disk boxes full of pirated games.
maskdbandt: perhaps i shold try it on an emulator and see
maskdbandt: heh :) it was in mine
maskdbandt: i wish it was as easy nowadays to do so
drakkoth: I think I liked it okay but I can't rememer the details at all.
maskdbandt: i just remember walking in a vast land.. that's it.. heh
drakkoth: Ha ha
drakkoth: Some of those old games took some time to figure out.
Paladinian: Ugh, just had call from Alumni association. Who would NOT SHUT UP. :(
maskdbandt: i guess i could play it on the c64 too but it's too much trouble to wait to load
daver: zork?
drakkoth: O yeah, that really rocks
maskdbandt: they want your $
Paladinian: Totally. :(
maskdbandt: my mother in law works for an alumni for a college
maskdbandt: i avoid her calls too :)
drakkoth: lol
Paladinian: *chuckle*
Round 3 of 12
maskdbandt: drakkoth's empire over on the right needs to be messed with next round i think :)
drakkoth: Shhhhhhhh!
Paladinian: :)
drakkoth: Bingo
maskdbandt: i hope that doesn't mean you picked correctly
maskdbandt: but hopefully that should encourage people to pick spots by you
drakkoth: Yeah, I was hoping the right side would be ignored for a bit
maskdbandt: i can't wait for land auctions to be fixed to do on the right too
drakkoth: Yeah, that is driving me nuts.
maskdbandt: it really changes game play
drakkoth: Wow, did I really pick 2 energy?
maskdbandt: crap
drakkoth: I'm a little slow today
drakkoth: Sick, on drugs (the legal kind) and down one finger
maskdbandt: down a finger?
drakkoth: Burned it making something to eat a little while ago
drakkoth: I'm almost 1 handed
maskdbandt: that sucks
maskdbandt: i'll let it spoil
Round 4 of 12
daver: can;t believe that
daver: there goes my chances... :(
maskdbandt: i was in 4th this time though so it made sense
maskdbandt: why didn't you take the last one?
daver: operator error
maskdbandt: oh :-/ sorry
maskdbandt: i hope that means i have the high
daver: you have med
daver: drakk already checked that one
maskdbandt: the other is a low that i don't have
maskdbandt: ok
daver: man i'm playing like CRAP
drakkoth: It happens :(
maskdbandt: now instead ofa low, it's an ultra high
Paladinian: Okay, that *can't* stay masks'. :)
maskdbandt: i'll stay in 4th :)
drakkoth: :)
daver: ugh
maskdbandt: you all can enjoy being ahead of me
daver: no power
daver: worst... game... ever...
maskdbandt: i'll def be in 4th when your ore turns up higher value :)
maskdbandt: don't give up... it's still a long ways to the end
maskdbandt: thanks paladinian!
drakkoth: Yeah, ty
Paladinian: Hey, I hate spoilage. It's my achiles heel. :(
maskdbandt: unfortunately if any land auction, may have to let drak have it :-/
daver: sweeet sweet power
daver: thx
Round 5 of 12
Paladinian: Wooo! :)
maskdbandt: heh
maskdbandt: i didn't get it though! :(
daver: :/
maskdbandt: how'd you score it paladinian!
drakkoth: O wow
maskdbandt: i'm impressed
Paladinian: I don't know! :|
maskdbandt: i hit it and so did daver i'm assuming
Paladinian: I thought it went to the lower score on a tie...
daver: sure did
maskdbandt: i must've had lag! ugh :(
maskdbandt: it should
Paladinian: Didn't that just go up?
daver: i'll take it
maskdbandt: what go up?
drakkoth: That's the first auction I've seen for a river plot.
drakkoth: Probably because they're snatched up usually.
maskdbandt: i cannot believe i lost a plot and i was host :) i could understand daver getting it since he was 4th to my 3rd... i'm a-sucking :-/
maskdbandt: yeah, they're fair game
maskdbandt: just dpeends who you are playing
drakkoth: Wow
maskdbandt: there you go drak
Paladinian: Lucky... :)
maskdbandt: cost you a lot but i guess overall, good
maskdbandt: i'm way behind now
daver: i've got the worst land layout ever
Paladinian: Pirate risk.... non-trivial. :(
daver: its like i'm trying to see how far apart i can get them...
maskdbandt: let's tempt the pirates
Round 6 of 12
Paladinian: *weep*
maskdbandt: whew
drakkoth: !
maskdbandt: ugh
maskdbandt: bad purchase for me last round :)
Paladinian: Well, one out of the way...
maskdbandt: they can come twice!
Paladinian: I know. There goes one of them. :)
maskdbandt: i'm surprised no one tried to buy ore :)
drakkoth: Same here
Paladinian: Tempted. But not that rich. :)
drakkoth: I wasn't about to swap spots against everyone else.
maskdbandt: heh why not?!?!? :)
maskdbandt: unfortunately i may have to sell here
Round 7 of 12
maskdbandt: oh come on, let me buy expensive plots, drak :)
Paladinian: Man, the auction really favours the west side of the colony, doesn't it?
drakkoth: 100%
maskdbandt: only! :)
drakkoth: Except river.
maskdbandt: it's a bug
Paladinian: I figured as such.
Paladinian: Good to know it confirmed. :)
maskdbandt: supposeldy v1.3 will fix it
maskdbandt: how about a free plot for me please? :)
drakkoth: You dirtied up my landscape over here
maskdbandt: i should've grabbed the medium from you but i thought you weren't going to go for it til later
drakkoth: ;)
drakkoth: So close.
Paladinian: So very close. :)
drakkoth: I usually risk the river as I normally require 2 plots for food anyway
maskdbandt: crap, i think i messed up my power
maskdbandt: yep
maskdbandt: hope you guys without energy enjoy being w/o power :)
maskdbandt: not sure if i should try to hedge or not with pirates
drakkoth: I've only gambled that once and won.
maskdbandt: heh that's a good rate... 100%
maskdbandt: i have and lost
maskdbandt: 0% :)
maskdbandt: you guys do have enough :)
drakkoth: Group sigh of relief.
maskdbandt: i wanted to sell for 300 each
Round 8 of 12
drakkoth: Why.........
maskdbandt: oh ... no mules for you guys
maskdbandt: nice :)
Paladinian: Booo! :)
daver: aww, thx bandit
drakkoth: Soooo painful to watch.
drakkoth: Slow motion..........
maskdbandt: crap, forgot i had that one :)
maskdbandt: why is it i can't do it without messing up?
maskdbandt: it's pointles if i don't have more ore than you guys!
daver: no earthquakes!
daver: horray!
maskdbandt: exactly what will happen
maskdbandt: pirates?
daver: what?
daver: i had power
maskdbandt: that plan backfired heh :)
daver: factory shut down
daver: why'd that happen if i had enough poww?
maskdbandt: you may not have?
daver: we all did
Paladinian: You added more mules then you had extra... it predicts only one additional mule for the following round.
daver: ahhh
drakkoth: how did that happen?
daver: with rain?
maskdbandt: what? daver i thought was going for it
drakkoth: I didn't benefit from the rain
maskdbandt: man!
daver: still short food
daver: too busy compaining to bid
maskdbandt: you could've bought... you were 4th
maskdbandt: lol
drakkoth: :)
maskdbandt: and now i go up there, you buy instead ;)
drakkoth: Ha
Round 9 of 12
maskdbandt: nothing like 8 crappy cry plots :)
drakkoth: Deadly
maskdbandt: with pirates a possibility :)
Paladinian: Poor crazy mule. :(
daver: horray crystite!
maskdbandt: whew
maskdbandt: i hope for a high price
maskdbandt: high enough!
maskdbandt: 300 if you want it
maskdbandt: too eager... i retract heh :)
Paladinian: Stupid radiation. :(
drakkoth: That was bad timing.
maskdbandt: yeah, rough
Round 10 of 12
maskdbandt: nice pick drak
drakkoth: Risky.
maskdbandt: man, daver, got lucky!
maskdbandt: i got a low too i guess though, but the unrisky one :)
maskdbandt: i might as well have sold the food
maskdbandt: no mules
daver: man i'm retarded
maskdbandt: who will get the last spot?
drakkoth: ha ha
maskdbandt: man, that sucks
Paladinian: You'll earn that back plenty fold. :)
drakkoth: The perils of being on the right side
drakkoth: So far away from the Chrysite outfitter
drakkoth: o
maskdbandt: yeah... i had that issue last game
drakkoth: fuc
Paladinian: Man, I wish my food mule hadn't been the one to go nuts... :(
maskdbandt: i should've kept the ore bonus instead of the high cry
maskdbandt: bad time for it, that's for sure
drakkoth: Wow
drakkoth: This is going to be tight.
maskdbandt: yeah
maskdbandt: i'd rather you be in 1st until round 12 tohugh
maskdbandt: :)
Paladinian: I'm pretty sure I"m heading for last. :)
drakkoth: You never know
drakkoth: I'm quite capable of stuffing myself into last even from a comfortable lead.
daver: you think you can lose to ME??
daver: good luck
maskdbandt: you guys are too tough on yourselves heh :)
Paladinian: No food. No reasonable way to get food. I am officially stagnated. :(
daver: only -8?
daver: :)
daver: i lose
Round 11 of 12
maskdbandt: everything is so pricey
maskdbandt: drak, don't build something diff than me! ;)
drakkoth: !
maskdbandt: that looks like a move i'd make!
Paladinian: Food! :)
daver: that was for me
maskdbandt: that time ticker and so much to do
drakkoth: :) I saw that coming a mile away.
maskdbandt: wow paladinian, perfect time
daver: they got the name wrong on the package
maskdbandt: i may have a pest but so be it if i do
maskdbandt: everyone bet on something diff
maskdbandt: interesting stuff ! :)
drakkoth: Woot
daver: i'm bettng on me losing
drakkoth: lol
maskdbandt: crap
drakkoth: I kept waiting for that.
maskdbandt: only thing i didn't want!
Paladinian: Well, that's that. :|
maskdbandt: this could change things
maskdbandt: drak gained on me there
maskdbandt: would've been a good price!
maskdbandt: food was where it was
drakkoth: No kidding.
maskdbandt: paladinian wins best pick :)
maskdbandt: crappy prod though :)
Paladinian: 350
maskdbandt: i prob should've just sold

maskdbandt: man
maskdbandt: pirates!
drakkoth: wow
maskdbandt: 135!
drakkoth: 100 pts
maskdbandt: gl
Round 12 of 12
maskdbandt: don't mess up! :P
maskdbandt: i don't have full time
maskdbandt: this will be close
maskdbandt: comes down to production and price
maskdbandt: unless the others do crystite too and then just prod :)
drakkoth: Win or loose this is the best game i've in in a bit. Nice upgrade from all the noob rounds earlier.
maskdbandt: yeah, i agree
Paladinian: It has been a most engaging match indeed. :)
maskdbandt: lot of fun
drakkoth: there was a 'had' missing in that sentence somewhere.
maskdbandt: and now the moment of truth
drakkoth: Drumroll.......
maskdbandt: maybe i can get someone to buy at a high price
maskdbandt: jk! :P
drakkoth: Woah
maskdbandt: wow didn't think it was that diff
drakkoth: Nor did I :P
maskdbandt: i actually thought you had me on prod... yours looked better than mine but i guess i had more
drakkoth: So did I

drakkoth: Agreed!
Paladinian: Third..ed? :)
