Round 1 of 12

Comrade Kangaroo: yay!

chuckyv: gl all

Comrade Kangaroo: whoops

Comrade Kangaroo: Hope that's a high plot

tartarus.guard: i hope i don't suck like i did last game :)

Comrade Kangaroo: uh oh

chuckyv: thats not good

kipley: yep

chuckyv is not responding to continue

Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game

Comrade Kangaroo: 78 ping

kipley: 94ms

chuckyv: 41ms

tartarus.guard: chuckyv is the one the game client is concerned with, though that is odd if your ping is 41

chuckyv: those are all good numbers

Comrade Kangaroo: Chucky it's you. Can you fix it? Game wants to kick you out

kipley: Odd you can chat, chucky... as the computer thinks you're not responding

tartarus.guard: chucky, is your ping time fluctuating?

chuckyv: no not fluctuating

chuckyv: steady at 41

Comrade Kangaroo: I'm up to 93 now

kipley: 93 for me

chuckyv: still at 41

Comrade Kangaroo: Well this is poop soup

chuckyv: want to restart?

Comrade Kangaroo: We could all eat the abandon and start a new game

kipley: whatever.

Comrade Kangaroo: I'd be willing. AI just makes things too predictable

tartarus.guard: what client are you on chucky?

chuckyv: client?

chuckyv: Let me back out and see if that fixes it

chuckyv left the game

Computer takes over chuckyv

tartarus.guard: INFO [Server.logRoundtrip] Roundtrips: <P10> 16ms <P11> 94ms <P13> 141ms <P12> 94ms

tartarus.guard: i think his ping response lagged at one point, logs showed 141ms on somebody

Comrade Kangaroo: This is the third game in a row that someone was dropped in the first round

Comrade Kangaroo: That I've played

tartarus.guard: trying to play and read a log file is tricky :)

Round 2 of 12

kipley: heh

Comrade Kangaroo: Good for the AI

Comrade Kangaroo: He'll sell

kipley: yep

Round 3 of 12

tartarus.guard: is it just me or does 1.2.3 seem to do a lot of early land auctions compaired to older versions?

Comrade Kangaroo: I've found the opposite

tartarus.guard: just coincidence I guess, it's happened in all my games lately

Round 4 of 12

Round 5 of 12

Round 6 of 12

kipley: perfect pricing

Comrade Kangaroo: whoops

tartarus.guard: i know that feeling

kipley: yep, that was unfortunate

Comrade Kangaroo: C'est la vie

Round 7 of 12

Comrade Kangaroo: Sweet

Comrade Kangaroo: Not sweet

tartarus.guard: why did you have to go and say it

Comrade Kangaroo: I said nothing!

tartarus.guard: i'm taking your rye away

Comrade Kangaroo: Never!

Comrade Kangaroo: You can't make me! I'll tell mom

Round 8 of 12

kipley: long way to run to those 3 plots

Comrade Kangaroo: Should I make a Springsteen reference here?

tartarus.guard: yes

Comrade Kangaroo: Baby, I was Born to Run!

kipley: Pink Floyd:

kipley: Run... run... run... run... run... run... run... run...

Comrade Kangaroo: The Who:

Comrade Kangaroo: Girl you better run, run, run

Comrade Kangaroo: I got a million and one songs about running. Okay, just a million

Round 9 of 12

kipley: nice cashin

Comrade Kangaroo: Thanks

Round 10 of 12

kipley: Holding my spacebar down all the way, too

tartarus.guard: i think it is because you have more plots than me

kipley: last place should get the tiebreaker

kipley: But I think it favors time of spacebar press, too

kipley: I pressed it even before the land grant started, maybe TOO early

Round 11 of 12

Round 12 of 12

kipley: STAMPEDE

tartarus.guard: :) will be interesting to see if it works.

tartarus.guard: with all plots developed i didn't think it would spike

kipley: I think I also needed to get rid of a couple mules off my plots, to make some empty plots to make it work

Comrade Kangaroo: Good game folks

kipley: But didn't have time for all that

kipley: But had to try

kipley: I've seen it spike to 230 on the last turn, but in that game the guy had released mules off his lots

kipley: I was going to try that, but ran out of time

kipley: Fun experiment, though

Comrade Kangaroo: Should be close, tartarus

kipley: Between me and the computer?! ;-)

tartarus.guard: yeah, and we'll have a decent colony score

Comrade Kangaroo: Thanks for hosting

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...
