Comrade Kangaroo joined the game in slot 2

Comrade Kangaroo: A game! A sweet, precious game! So hard to find somedays

C64 nostalgia: hello comrade

Comrade Kangaroo: Thanks for hosting C64.

Comrade Kangaroo: I'd probably play twice as much if I could actually get port forwarding to work.

C64 nostalgia: np, thanks for playing

C64 nostalgia: now, just waiting for more humans

umikami visits

umikami joined the game in slot 3

umikami: well this is lame

C64 nostalgia: hello umi

umikami: i just played with a hosted

C64 nostalgia: lame?

umikami: that disconnected 2 of us

umikami: and then i get an abandon

umikami: lame lame

C64 nostalgia: that sucks

Comrade Kangaroo: Yeah, that happens. So people just can handle losing.

Comrade Kangaroo: Me? I'm a champ at losing

umikami: i'm cool with losing

umikami: it's just a game

C64 nostalgia: even when it hurts...

umikami: i just don't want to play with people who disconnenct

umikami: wastes time

C64 nostalgia: if we go down it will be my ISP's fault

C64 nostalgia: i promise

umikami: so i tried to go the food route

umikami: instead of ore

umikami: it can be done

umikami: but a little risky

Comrade Kangaroo: You know, I think dkellar disconnected me one time too

umikami: just need to remember the bad guys

umikami: so i got a question for you pros

C64 nostalgia: gunner got kicked too?

umikami: if plots are diagnol

umikami: are they touching?

C64 nostalgia: nope

Comrade Kangaroo: Nope, no bonuses

umikami: you guys ever try selling tite every round?

umikami: think it's a good strat?

C64 nostalgia: i tried it, not sure

Comrade Kangaroo: It doesn't pay off as well as ore, food, or energy.

Comrade Kangaroo: But doesn't require you to invest lots of capital into buying out the store

C64 nostalgia: i don't know... it's consistant

C64 nostalgia: have money to buy land

C64 nostalgia: stay out of first

Comrade Kangaroo: Everytime I've tried, I always run into a game where there's an energy shortage and way more planetquakes than normal

C64 nostalgia: lol

umikami: another quesiton for pros

umikami: how does computer set low and high price for store?

Comrade Kangaroo: I'm no pro.

C64 nostalgia: nor I

Comrade Kangaroo: hmm, I think the low and high are just carried over from the original game. Not sure why they were chosen in the first place

umikami: i'll read again in forum sometime

umikami: but i read you can cheat

umikami: by having one guy sell another guy

umikami: really high

umikami: to manipulate the price

C64 nostalgia: [NewPrice] = [Current Price] * ( .25 + .75(D/S))

umikami: each plots requires 1 energy?

C64 nostalgia: yep

Comrade Kangaroo: I wouldn't say that's cheating exactly, just co-operating. It's cheating if one person is controlling two players and doing that.

C64 nostalgia: collusion

C64 nostalgia: secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, esp. in order to cheat or deceive others

umikami: i heard machinus did that

umikami: in the c64 version

C64 nostalgia: he has a high ratio

umikami: there was a way only to sell to one other player

C64 nostalgia: called collusion

C64 nostalgia: both players hit their buttons at the same time

Comrade Kangaroo: I didn't know that. See, I learn something everygame

umikami: we never understood it as kids

umikami: the screen changes

umikami: and only 2 people appear

Comrade Kangaroo: doh! I just gendered myself. Now everyone will know!

Bloodyheart: lol

C64 nostalgia: i write it down next to the bailers

Comrade Kangaroo: What about you, C64? You seem to be a little TOO interested in player gender

C64 nostalgia: i'm just a guy looking for a wife while playing in space

C64 nostalgia: or something not like that

Comrade Kangaroo: Sounds like a good sitcom

Comrade Kangaroo: Kinda like Perfect Strangers...

C64 nostalgia: thx

Comrade Kangaroo: I'm stealing that idea

C64 nostalgia: lol

C64 nostalgia: damn
