cyounghusband joined the game in slot 2
Drilan joined the game in slot 3
Drilan: yesterday I had a game against maskband and he always had priority in the transaction line and I told him that a game like that is very easy to win against me cause almost the entire game is based on that(buy or sell decisions)
tui visits
piete: ok, my msn is pekka.horttanainen@gmail.com
piete: (and its not difficult to guess my email ;)
Bluewulk visits
Drilan: he thought I was mad about it but if he was host and always has that prioruty then how someone should win??
Bluewulk joined the game in slot 4
Bluewulk: Hi
vinkio visits
cyounghusband: vinkio, tui, hit your spacebar
piete: visitors press space to join
cyounghusband: spacebar
Drilan: most of times when I was Host I let other players do stuff cause I knew I had priority over them
piete: yeah, me too until i buy first what i need ;)
piete: im nice but not THAT nice
cyounghusband: i just figured north america is a little more central as a hosting point, 190 ping isn't great
piete: but i wont empty the shop if i should not be able to
Drilan: but if you buy all, all the time is not fair is both get to the line at same time
cyounghusband: it's just the plot selection that drives me nuts
piete: tui, tecla space
cyounghusband: i consistently lose at that
Drilan: ok lets start!
tui was disconnected
Round 1 of 12
piete: hi bluewulk
cyounghusband: i'm host an I still lose the plots !

Bluewulk: hi no 1 ;)
Drilan: THEN YOULL ROLL WELL
piete: i may be no1 but these guys still kick my ass
Drilan: lol

Drilan: :(
piete: what?

Drilan: just 3
piete: cmon, i produced 0 smithore
piete: ;)
piete: hey this bug needs to be addressed asap!
Drilan: nice joke
piete: how come they took smithore away?
Drilan: thats new
Bluewulk: strange
cyounghusband: it's a bug
cyounghusband: i think
Drilan: no smith at first
piete: its reported already, by mb
Drilan: ok
cyounghusband: the nice part is, it doesn't favour whoever lucked into to #4 to buy it all out...and get priority on energy and food
Drilan: hate to be first
Round 2 of 12
cyounghusband: if that is your thing
Drilan: ??
Drilan: lag?
Drilan: blue?
cyounghusband: i so bad at plots, I picked the wrong one! I need to hire a 12 year old with good hand eye to do plots for me
vinkio left the game
piete: yesterday played first time a game where 2nd place lost a plot and i wasnt then 2nd
Drilan: thats weird
piete: it was an easy game so im sorry to have used my luck when i wouldnt have needed it... ;)
Drilan: please god give me a free plot early
piete: not yet...
cyounghusband: the free plots are ok, but the plot loss in rounds 1-4 is devastating...wish they would take it out
Bluewulk: ah!
Drilan: nice shot
cyounghusband: it was that or one other
Drilan: nooooooooo
cyounghusband: ?
Drilan: my crystite!!
Drilan: no food
cyounghusband: wow
Drilan: my miss
cyounghusband: greedy!
piete: your strategy! ;)
piete: to stay 3 or 4
Drilan: yep
cyounghusband: he still has a lot of smithore, worth at least 1700 next turn
piete: damn
Drilan: shhhhhhhhhh
Round 3 of 12
Drilan: ok
Drilan: nice hand speed
cyounghusband: dammit
cyounghusband: i wish they were toss ups
Drilan: ouch
Drilan: awful price
piete: what a luck
piete: i couldnt risk as no1
piete: with bad luck i couldnt do anything
Drilan: I will get a package youll see
Drilan: nop
piete: maybe next turn
Drilan: ok
Drilan: put energy
cyounghusband: you have all the smithore still
Drilan: ok I will teach you how
cyounghusband: wow
cyounghusband: you guys figure bluewulk is a sucker?
Bluewulk: sure I am
cyounghusband: dril, you need the $
Bluewulk: what for?
Drilan: was hoping for something else
cyounghusband: he is trapped with no food
cyounghusband: it's worth $1000 to him
piete: but store has
piete: or is cy buying all?
cyounghusband: oh you are right
cyounghusband: damn, was looking at energy
Drilan: thats fair
Drilan: sorry
Drilan: nooooooooooooo
Drilan: fkkfkfkfkfkfkffkfkfkfkfkfkfkf
cyounghusband: wow, those missed plots killed me
Round 4 of 12
piete: cy, you have most plots
piete: youre in best position to win still
Bluewulk: ;)
cyounghusband: i can't afford other auctions...missed the smithore wave
Bluewulk: There'll be more ...
piete: there hasnt been a smithore wave yet
cyounghusband: the new 1.2 or 1.2.1 version is really random with the auctions. I was in one the other day there there must have been 12 plots at least
Drilan: 1 mule or my food will be gone
piete: auch
piete: damn
Drilan: at least you leave me some
piete: some? you got half
Drilan: 200
Drilan: 200
Drilan: also
cyounghusband: nicely played so far drilan
Drilan: Ive been nice
piete: you have, thanks ;)
Round 5 of 12
piete: package
Drilan: ty purple
Bluewulk: welcome
Drilan: now my smith does more damage
cyounghusband: damn, i'm producing crap
piete: my plots dont produce
piete: i think this price still goes up too fast
Drilan: it seems that quake was good for me
Bluewulk: yeah
cyounghusband: yes, kit killed blue and me who were actually trying to make mules for us
Bluewulk: did not really kill us
cyounghusband: so he *really* did you a favour by throwing awy the mules
Drilan: yep
piete: as if you didnt sell...
piete: how come im 2nd?
cyounghusband: my 3 mountains produced a total of 4
cyounghusband: err, 3
Round 6 of 12
piete: it was mine!
piete: im hosting only from now on... :(
cyounghusband: i saw blue the whole time
cyounghusband: what's your ping?
piete: 172
Bluewulk: 125
cyounghusband: oh cmon
Bluewulk: no!
piete: first time as 2nd!!!!!!
piete: :D
cyounghusband: i've seen it go to #3 three times now
cyounghusband: and I don't remember when it went to last place
Bluewulk: should have been the other land thing ...
cyounghusband: well, i think I will have a very tough time catching up at this point
piete: ive seen it go mostly to 3rd and many times to 2nd but it was first time i got it, about time!
cyounghusband: dude...
piete: it always seems unfair to the others
cyounghusband: yeah, cause 4th place doesn't need mules
piete: and losing seems unfair to loser
piete: but its the original rules
piete: maybe theres some tweaking for mule2010
cyounghusband: yeah
piete: but this game still has a big luck fator
cyounghusband: remember that a lot of what was done for original mule was for programming shortcuts
cyounghusband: that was the briliances of it though
Drilan is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
cyounghusband: dril?
piete: it just guarantees that even the very best cant win all the time
cyounghusband: yes
piete: no please!
piete: drilan?
Drilan was disconnected
Computer takes over Drilan
cyounghusband: $@!#
piete: damn
piete: its round 6, too far to restart
cyounghusband: i normally don't have a problem when hosting
piete: but you remember last time, you only got to play bc drilan had problems
piete: and you ended up winning ;)
cyounghusband: store burning is very helpful to me
piete: so i think drilan is in boycott until he gets his network act together
cyounghusband: yeah, that blows
Bluewulk: everyone is happy when store burns down ;)
cyounghusband: dril isn't responding int he lobby either, so it's not me...he whole net must have gone down
piete: and it wasnt the 1st time...
Round 7 of 12
cyounghusband: heh
piete: good plot for you
cyounghusband: yes, but i think i got caught up in the challenge from blue
cyounghusband: i had set 2500 as my max price mentally
Bluewulk: would have bought it anyway but tried to save some $$
piete: great
piete: 0 energy
Bluewulk: yeah great
cyounghusband: you made a good call buying energy last time though blue
Bluewulk: one cannot have enough of everything in stock
piete: but 2 plots adjacent, their production would be 8 so 0 is exaggerated
piete: there must be something different in the code compared to the original
cyounghusband: damn AI
Round 8 of 12
Round 9 of 12
piete: you can have it ;)
piete: oh no
cyounghusband: (nods)
Bluewulk: I'll have that one next round for free ;)
piete: depends...
cyounghusband: interesting
piete: i got up too early again, im afraid this may cost me the game again...
piete: my problem is the middle-game strategy
cyounghusband: if i'm last, might as well play keep-away
piete: grrrrrrrrrrr
Round 10 of 12
cyounghusband: damn you're efficient
piete: doesnt help with this few plots
cyounghusband: got in trouble from my wife...she summoned me...
cyounghusband: need to get the gameplay down to under an hour
piete: auch... know the feeling
piete: hope this was the last high price ;)
Bluewulk: is there any higher?
piete: no
cyounghusband: he meant last round
cyounghusband: maybe?
Bluewulk: yeah pirates have been here twice
piete: :(
piete: ;)
cyounghusband: she drilian is producing
Bluewulk: all mine
cyounghusband: (shit)
piete: damn you guys
cyounghusband: view from the top hurts, eh
piete: right
Round 11 of 12
cyounghusband: hmmm
cyounghusband: this is the game right here
piete: true
cyounghusband: does it go up or down next round?
piete: its all about luck
Bluewulk: up!
piete: not taking chances?
cyounghusband: hee hee
cyounghusband: yeah, i figure if it stays the same I can probably catch you
cyounghusband: (maybe)
cyounghusband: hmm, maybe not
piete: tight again
Round 12 of 12
cyounghusband: it will be tight...coming down mostly to my extra plot and production
piete: and the price, the higher the better for you and vice versa
cyounghusband: yes
piete: that planetquake really killed me
piete: last game
cyounghusband: yes
piete: i had 9 plots so i lost 9 points plus the production of the 2 plots
cyounghusband: well, that and the fact that you gambled on not needing food in the last rounds
piete: true, i should have been prepared for that
piete: but it was the only event that could have killed me
cyounghusband: hmm, don't think i'm going to make it but it will be close
piete: so you really have to be prepared for the worst
piete: auch again...
piete: really close...
piete: got 46 ahead here ;)
cyounghusband: gg guys
cyounghusband: either way
piete: true
piete: shame about drilan
cyounghusband: I'm going to have to run to make cool with the wife
cyounghusband: was bathtime and I missed it
piete: ok
Bluewulk: good luck
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
cyounghusband: yeah, drillian probably could have won also...
