cyounghusband: i don't understand it
cyounghusband: my game should not be so fuck
cyounghusband: at was at 600
cyounghusband: this is so strange...
cyounghusband: i thought that if my screen was showing 600, i would still buy it. so strange to see him buy it for 588
BaronHelix: there tends to be a 1/2 second delay from our action and actual stop
Chuckie Chuck: I have had a lot of times where I looked in the lead to me and I didn't win, figure that it's just enough lag to cause that sometimes
cyounghusband: sure, i'm just edgy now that I spent all money on food that will spoil
Chuckie Chuck: might save ya a round
BaronHelix: it is affectiong what competition will have to build/pay though
Chuckie Chuck: yup, that'll pay off
cyounghusband: food spoils at 50%
Chuckie Chuck: true, but ya didn't have to buy any this round
cyounghusband: ya, why I skipped food for now
Round 3 of 12

cyounghusband: oh, that was braindead
cyounghusband: i guess I stop thinking when I'm annoyed!

Chuckie Chuck: kick time?
archie was disconnected
Computer takes over archie
BaronHelix: why does this never happen when I am in a losing position?
Chuckie Chuck: wow
BaronHelix: timer moving at least
cyounghusband: hmm, AI probably isn't good at taking over mid-turn
BaronHelix: whew
Chuckie Chuck: tryin to put mule in the pub
BaronHelix: bleah, that was not well done at all
BaronHelix: couldn't decide b/w crys and ore
BaronHelix: my turn to not press space :)
Chuckie Chuck: lol
Chuckie Chuck: ok, buy off the PC
cyounghusband: no, we have to sell i think
cyounghusband: sorry dude
Chuckie Chuck: damn I'm on the wrong side
BaronHelix: yeah, new math for the patch
cyounghusband: i think the price is only headed down
BaronHelix: last couple months it dips if plots are filled
Chuckie Chuck: probably
cyounghusband: i have seen people run it late in the game, but they had to completely empty the mules and store. so unless there is a fire in the store next turn...
BaronHelix: but the new patch changed that somewhat
BaronHelix: don't know how much, but somewhat at least
Chuckie Chuck: yup, I wanted to test it
BaronHelix: ah
BaronHelix: say so BEFORE the buy/sell phase
BaronHelix: maybe we could have all chipped in to find out
cyounghusband: i got burned with it when I tried just after the price
cyounghusband: there were 4 mules left or somethning, and price was at $36!
Round 11 of 12
Chuckie Chuck: oh well, this game sucked for me anyways

BaronHelix: i have the high crys spots and more land. i should prolly overtake you
BaronHelix: unless pirates come this month
cyounghusband: sure
