Round 6 of 12

trouba: 1k5

trouba: ok, stop

joelcade: we get it

trouba: sigh

trouba: zzz...

trouba: tygar, feeling happy?

kipley: Yeah, the worst thing about this tactic, besides the fact that it lowers the colony overall scores, is that it just slows the game down... yawn

TyGar_: so what ?

kipley: It's just makes the game boring to play, is all I'm sayin'

trouba: me too

trouba: anyway, i hope dev will change that you could not back off, in next version

kipley: agree

TyGar_: i hope you can back off 500 but not more

kipley: agree x2

TyGar_: so that you have a little room to play

trouba: to the bottom line

joelcade: they've said they won't, because they won't deviate from the org game design...

joelcade: they should make the timer go faster the higher the price goes...

joelcade: that's how the org game handled it

joelcade: buying pirate insurance

kipley: I just need some cash, is all

kipley: The pirate insurance is a bonus

Round 7 of 12

trouba: tragedy

TyGar_: next round it will be high

TyGar_: the price will be like 200

kipley: sigh

Round 8 of 12

TyGar_: thats fucking stupid that the first place gets the best plot-.-

joelcade: yep

trouba: is it a bug?

joelcade: I thinkso

trouba: me too

trouba: i'll report it yesterday

trouba: *tomorrow

kipley: I've reported it in the forum, but they claim it's not a bug. They say it's because the first place player clicked first. I have my doubts

trouba: i clicked when the cursor grayed on previous plot

trouba: pushed and held

TyGar_: they should make a blocker that ignores the first 40ms for the first player and 20 for the second

trouba: this would be hard to implement, regarding the lag...

kipley: They could just remove the "first to click" thing altogether, and give any contested plot to the last place player automatically regardless of click time

kipley: since lag makes reflexes meaningless anyways

joelcade: yup

TyGar_: i was thinking about a mini skill game a few days ago

Round 9 of 12

TyGar_: for the plots

kipley: whoops, messed up my energy. Oh, well

TyGar_: i hate this game right here

kipley: Why?

TyGar_: because i always get fucked

trouba: 2nd pirates still in orbit :)

kipley: We telegraphed that we were going to spike smithore again last turn. You sold when you could have bought

Round 10 of 12

kipley: Oh my god

trouba: ok ok

kipley: That royally sucked... had a weird anti-lag-jump right at the beginning

kipley: Nobody's going to buy, you can stop now

trouba: tygar, please

kipley: Ok, I stand corrected

TyGar_: nice joe

TyGar_: you just messed up your position

TyGar_ left the game

Computer takes over TyGar_

kipley: Sore loser

joelcade: at least less time will be wasted

trouba: died without face

kipley: Heh, yeah

joelcade: w00t

kipley: Just kiddin'

kipley: What does the computer know about crystite that we don't?

kipley: Does he know the pirates are going?!

kipley: coming

Round 11 of 12

trouba: sigh... not a good game for me :(

trouba: still have a lot to learn :)

kipley: I learn new things all the time. Part of the fun.

kipley: And you're playing quite well. Just got some good competition, this game.

trouba: yeah, this game is great... for 18 years now :)

kipley: Cool, no pirates

kipley: cha ching

trouba: gratz kipley :D

trouba: your win is well deserved :)

kipley: thanks. Had troubles early on when I kept getting on the wrong end of the smithore equation, but managed to come back.

joelcade: .. and he breaks away from the pack...

kipley: Of course, having trouble early on can be good, as you get good events instead of bad...

joelcade: be kind

joelcade: tx

kipley: Since you asked nicely

kipley: And because I have enough of a buffer

Round 12 of 12

kipley: Oh wait, I mean... I helped you out purely because I am a kind, generous, nearly-saintly human being. That's the real, only reason! ;-)

kipley: Good game, everyone (except TyGar for quitting).

joelcade: gg... hope I can hang onto 2nd

trouba: and except me from guessing ore spikes :P

trouba: *for guessing

joelcade: I swear.. I make at least one major mistake a game... <sigh>

kipley: Sometimes one player has enough money to buy out the store and spike it on his own.

joelcade: shouldn't have bought that piece of land

kipley: But most of the time, it takes two players working together.

trouba: not this time

kipley: And that's when it get's interesting, because there's no guarantees that they'll work together

trouba: i was preparing to spoil the price, but it hit 230 before i could act ;)

kipley: Heh

joelcade: AI wins! lol

kipley: Ooooh.... shouldn't have changed my energy to crystite! lol

trouba: hm, that's a bug, too

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

kipley: Not really...

joelcade: gg guys

trouba: no demand

kipley: makes sense considerign the store was out last turn

trouba: gg, you rocked today! :)

kipley: and the price energy went for last turn

joelcade: he rocks every time

kipley: though yes, you could argue there's no more demand...
