Round 1 of 12
lee: Are we still on the planet IRATA?
Brob: I believe so.
Brob: Watch this awesomeness...
lee: Fancy graphics
Brob: I couldn't catch the wumpus.
lee: How do you get rid of the "Click here or press escape to focus the game" message?
lee: It is annoying
rhino_mo: distracted, trying to find the wampus
Brob: There's no specific place to click Dan.
Brob: To place the MULE that is.
dan: ok
dan: thx lee
Brob: Okay. I was focused in chat there.
Brob: Oops.
dan: haha, that happened to me the 1st time too
dan: nice food auction, btw
dan: classic
Round 2 of 12
dan: brob...
dan: you totally could have saved another $4
Brob: I know.
Brob: That was still fun.
Brob: Really. That's the whole fun in the game.
Brob: I should have enough to outfit my plots.
dan: i may have to quit my job to play this 24hr a day now
dan: it's your lucky day lee
lee: Nice, it has little Assay signs
lee: So you dont have to remember
lee: I was all ready to stick postits on the screen
lee: You shuld buy some smithore!
lee: Uh oh Dan
lee: You are in for a screwing now
Round 3 of 12
dan: oh come on!
dan: wait, this game goes longer than 2 mos?
dan: i thought i had won
Brob: Lee should just let the MULE roam free.
dan: too cheap...
lee: We are running out of mules
dan: good observation
Brob: Rhino is good at catching the wumpus.
Brob: You could take a lesson from him Lee.
lee: RElease the mule!
dan: wouldn't let me
lee: Maybe you have to be outside
dan: bad planning on my part not to afford the 50
lee: Same here
lee: I wonder how fast the response time on this is
Brob: Lee you seem to have an energy surplus.
lee: Yes
Round 4 of 12
dan: yeah! that's how it's done, ladies
dan: hmmm, mules are somewhat pricey
dan: that missing $32 last time cost me over $300 in mule inflation
dan: uncle pennypags, let all the mules go
dan: lee, you see the crystite rating on your screen? i just see question marks
lee: There are little signs in the top right
lee: Of the assayed plots
lee: One of mine has a ? because I did not assay ity
dan: there are? i don't see it
Brob: Do you have to press the button to get the wumpus?
dan: i did
Brob: Ugh.
Brob: I realized that as soon as I didn't get it.
lee: Buy some!
dan: perhaps our colony needs less energy...
Round 5 of 12
dan: my plot locations are pretty weak
Brob: Yup.
Brob: Mine stink too.
Brob: We're a little rusty.
lee: Maybe you an only see the plots you assayed yourself with the little signs
dan: i guess
lee: That sucks
dan: irata is a tough environment, lee
Round 6 of 12
lee: Going all out on super profitable energy
dan: aargh
dan: that's gonna cost me the game. must crash the server now
lee: No sneezing allowed!
dan: yeah, what is with this focus nonsense?
lee: Yeah, I got the message about the focus
lee: Oh please
rhino_mo: huh?
dan: yeah, the game got hung up for a moment...
dan: btw, never mock my energy lee!
Round 7 of 12
dan: shouldn't even have sold you any :-)
dan: up for a game of robot rascals next?
lee: If they have an online version of it
dan: or some lords of conquest?
lee: Yi[
lee: Yup
lee: THIS HORSE?
dan: haha, yes
dan: "joining forces..."
lee: I wonder how Ted Schmeckpepper is doing
Brob: I have 3 unopened copies of Robot Rascals in my basement.
Brob: Market value - $0.03
dan: i'll give you .04
dan: yes! :-)
dan: rhino, it's your lucky day
rhino_mo: yes
dan: crystite options paid off
dan: ah, the multi-sell is a very nice feature
dan: nice... worked the $30 discount
Round 8 of 12
dan: pricey, but it only made sense for you anyway
dan: hmmm, mules didn't seem to adjust to the large smithore sale last turn
lee: maybe it takes time to manufacture them
dan: the wumpus is too prevalent, and the good/bad events are too infrequent
dan: you guys are very advanced with your mule repurposing
dan: not too many events, either... no meteor, no pirates, no food-spider-thing
lee: Maybe one of those will happe now
lee: See?
dan: thx, nostradamus!
dan: cold
Round 9 of 12
dan: that is some sweet plot placement rhino mo
dan: i keep thinking flaming moe's
rhino_mo: thanks
dan: i'm curious if there's a major turnaround in store, or if brob and lee are battling for worst score ever :-)
dan: but at least you guys have some nice crystite plots
lee: Half the turns so far the crystite was either halved or stlen
dan: uh oh, what happened to mo?
rhino_mo: nothing, buttion skips the production to the end
dan: ah
dan: is it just me, or have i gotten nearly all the bad events?
lee: There's your spiders
lee: Meteor next turn?
dan: brob!...
dan: that was my smithore, i should've known
lee: I dont think this colony will retire in elegant estates
dan: well, not the slums that you two are working
Round 10 of 12
Brob: What's wrong with being a slumlord?
dan: ouch
lee: I am impressed this game can keep up, esp. for a Java program
Brob: I wish the chat would work in full screen mode.
lee: I with it wouldn't keep showing that 'focus the game' message
lee: There is a full screen mode to this?
Brob: I guess it's to let you know.
Brob: F5.
dan: f5 does what?
lee: I guess we need to use Skype for that
lee: f5 goes full screen
lee: but only the game area, not the chat area
dan: ah. i'm already full screen
lee: how are you chatting then
dan: the chat is like 1/5th screen, and the game is 4/5th screen
Brob: Not on the mac.
dan: i just maximized the game window before we started... ah yes, not only are you slum lords, you're also mac snobs, i forgot :-)
Brob: Hey, I would play this on the C64 if possible.
dan: not me, i require a c128
lee: I require a c64book pro
lee: $68??
lee: Screw that
dan: last place getting to you?
lee: Not once Crystite becomes $250 next turn
Round 11 of 12
dan: haha, good luck with that
dan: maybe put your plot up for auction too
lee: Hooray
dan: seriously, this games rules
dan: don't tease me
lee: $72?? That sucks
dan: i'll buy it, come on down
dan: 3? :-)
lee: Hello, Mr. Food
rhino_mo: over 50 spoils
lee: Which is useless at this point in the game
dan: it's an investment that's cheap
lee: People like you are why the country is so obese.
lee: You and your cheap food
dan: oooh, not good
Round 12 of 12
dan: $600! not good
dan: well played
dan: argh, i lost $11 each. what a fool i am!
dan: payday for lee!
lee: I didn't realize Crystite spoiled too
rhino_mo: what is the proper way to leave the game at the end?
dan: my investments... in ruins!
dan: no idea, first time we've played
dan: if you're wining, you should just shut down the app right now
