feeddannow: Ive only ever played training
feeddannow: This is my first tourney
wompas: its the same
Round 1
wompas: hax
groverkillelmo left the game
Computer takes over groverkillelmo
bigheadzach: bang, extra plot
bigheadzach: wow...early
feeddannow: Oh crap
bigheadzach: oh, what a great time for crystite :P
feeddannow: No stock.. grr
Round 2
feeddannow: Im sucking today
feeddannow left the game
Computer takes over feeddannow
bigheadzach: and for that reason, people quit?
wompas: yep, hmm I just don't think it just today
bigheadzach: wompas, you get cheap food as long as the ore keeps coming
wompas: heh, too poor to buy a mule
bigheadzach: well, wait for the store to run out :)
Round 3
bigheadzach: go for it.
bigheadzach: 43 ore is enough for mules for the rest of the game
Round 4
wompas: ouch
bigheadzach: oh noes!
bigheadzach: spy's sappin mah crystite :P
Round 5
bigheadzach: i don't ever remember smithore getting that high, even in a shortage situation
wompas: yea thats a good price
Round 6
bigheadzach: there's plenty of ore to meet demand - prices should drop soon
wompas: I don't think he comes out on a owned plot
wompas: heh
bigheadzach: oh, they trippin
bigheadzach: in turn, making my energy more valuable
Round 7
bigheadzach: capitalizing on the random variation?
wompas: yep
bigheadzach: every little bit helps
wompas: he
Round 8
bigheadzach: oh yeah
bigheadzach: if the cpu's are ok with not doing anything, I'll surpass them quickly
Round 9
wompas: I am not sure why this is taking so long
bigheadzach: me neither - I'll mention it in the bug list
bigheadzach: with the smithore strat and crystite no longer EOSing, I wonder if they need to undo that decision
wompas: eosing?
bigheadzach: Economy of Scale...crystite no longer gives that bonus for adjacency
wompas: oh
bigheadzach: Which makes smithore a much safer strategy - and if the store runs out...well you see what's happening. I'm doing my best to starve yall out and your cash is keeping you way ahead regardless.
wompas: yep
bigheadzach: Otherwise, I'd be getting a bit more of an edge on the crystite and maybe I'll eek out 2nd place, maybe 3rd, but I'm not optimistic
wompas: i'll try kicking the cpu players
wompas: nope
wompas: well this sucks
bigheadzach: I wanted to see if I could make something vaguely resembling a comeback
wompas: fuk
bigheadzach: artificial dumbness ftw
wompas: hehe
wompas: no pirates
wompas: !
bigheadzach: 2 more turns for them to show up
bigheadzach: i think the cpu isn't valuing food correctly...and I'm not saying that because I'm losing...
wompas: heh, well they see you with all that food and think you have to sell some of it
bigheadzach: but they're not concerned with whether they eventually get it or not
Round 10
bigheadzach: here we go again
wompas: how long is this going to take
wompas: I was afk the last time it poped
wompas: what does it say your ping is?
bigheadzach: 83ms. This is totally some server garbage collection or something
wompas: you should swap your rive food plots for something else to make the good price go up
wompas: food
bigheadzach: well, since you can now mine the river bed...I'd prolly put them on crystite as well...otherwise, energy
bigheadzach: they'd be poo for smithore
bigheadzach: I'd want a chance at getting more than $50 per unit
bigheadzach: some of the changes seem a little funny and I'm waiting to hear from the developers on it
wompas: crystite production is too low
wompas: someone else is having the same problem
wompas: games are shutting down
wompas: looks like your right its a server problem
bigheadzach: yup
bigheadzach: crystite prod is low because EOS is gone
wompas: why did they change it
bigheadzach: I have a suspicion the developers had a good amount of Kroah's notes but maybe not all of them
bigheadzach: Not sure why they changed it, I'm waiting for an answer on that.
wompas: its amazing how well they are doing with only 2 plots
bigheadzach: yeah, a bit disturbing
bigheadzach: and now the green flapper is...stroking out
bigheadzach: ouch
wompas: it wasn't making you money anyway
bigheadzach: true.
bigheadzach: My main strat was to just cover the river valley and monopolize food (or make it so others would have to grow it inefficiently)
wompas: fuc
bigheadzach: I was amazed the computer players let me have all 4 plots
wompas: in the old game they aways went for the river ones first
bigheadzach: food you can almost cover on your own, with the occasional sharing
bigheadzach: let it ride, baby
bigheadzach: Turn 11, big money no pirates
wompas: see
Round 11
bigheadzach: green's stroking out again
wompas: heh he buys all that food and then just stis there
bigheadzach: weiwd
wompas: fuk
wompas: how does it value the goods on the last round?
bigheadzach: i think it's an assumed sell-off to the store, but the ai is selling, when in the original it didn't.
bigheadzach: another question asked of the dev
wompas: hey your out of last
bigheadzach: sold one too many...now I have to leave one on energy
Round 12
bigheadzach: also, I have 8 energy but more than that in power-using plots...and it let me sell beyond my crit limit
bigheadzach: it's spending all this money to outfit...but it really can't make that back in one turn
bigheadzach: ahh...i am not spending energy to power crystite plots in the valley
bigheadzach: there's a bug
bigheadzach: if mining in the valley itself is not, and an actual change
bigheadzach: boo, price still sucked
wompas: its random
bigheadzach: i know
bigheadzach: was rolling the dice
wompas: woot
bigheadzach: gg
wompas: gg
bigheadzach: but also is good info for the devs
wompas: later
