poobslag: i'm at 68 ms over here
Elvenwitch: 119
gittenlucky: 200 :(
poobslag: 200 is not usually so bad, maybe you hit a spike
Elvenwitch: that still isnt high
poobslag: it must be c64, his ping must be high :D
Elvenwitch: is he using a c64?
Elvenwitch: :-)
C64 nostalgia: can't be me -- i'm hosting
poobslag: lol yeah i was joking
C64 nostalgia: 4ms
poobslag: yeah, c64, i think the biggest think i learned recently is how important it is to mine left of the store
poobslag: cos in the end game all the pros are always shifting from crystite to smithore and back
poobslag: i never picked up on that at all on the C64 but here everyone does it
C64 nostalgia: yeah, distinct advantages for the left
poobslag: ty
C64 nostalgia: yw
C64 nostalgia: the colony needs goods

poobslag: the good news is your relative died!
Elvenwitch: my relatives hell yea it is
Elvenwitch: ouch
C64 nostalgia: that sucked
poobslag: yeah
poobslag: "your space gypsy in laws" would be a pretty awesome band name
C64 nostalgia: lol, yeah jazz too...
C64 nostalgia: just to ironical
poobslag: heh heh heh
poobslag: man i sold the store those six smithore last round just so i'd have a mule to place and you ruined it
Elvenwitch: ouch
C64 nostalgia: beleieve me i wanted to sell the mule
gittenlucky: woops... i wanted to sell crystite
gittenlucky: hit the button too soon, i guess
poobslag: yeah $96 is an alright price considering no pirates yet
Round 5 of 12
poobslag: cmawwwwwn land auctions
poobslag: mmyup
gittenlucky: just take it poob
gittenlucky: you have the cash
poobslag: heh heh i bid $1384 but... no good
gittenlucky: Il ike to run up the price in single player mode
C64 nostalgia: lol, nice slag
poobslag: heh
poobslag: yeah that was pretty ridiculous
poobslag: oooooo smithore was a better play, i wasn't paying attention darn
C64 nostalgia: first curse, ouch
poobslag: mhm pest attacks man
poobslag: bane of my existence
C64 nostalgia: yes...
Round 6 of 12
gittenlucky: Does anyone know how land auction prices are set?
gittenlucky: They seem high in this game.
poobslag: sure i can explain it
poobslag: they start at $160;
poobslag: after that, if the previous plot was sold successfully, the price is set at the previous plot's price - $50...
poobslag: if the previous plot was not sold, the price is set at the previous plot's bottom price/2 (roughly)
gittenlucky: interesting
poobslag: so basically land is expensive, because we're all spending a lot of money on it
gittenlucky: I feel a pirate coming this round.. :/
Elvenwitch: you are prob right
Elvenwitch: hey C64 what is the most crystite you have ended in round 12 with
C64 nostalgia: 109, i think... aroung there
Elvenwitch: I had 137 my last game
Elvenwitch: I was producing like 87 a round
Elvenwitch: it was nuts
gittenlucky: on my last game i just grew crystite and grew 92 and had 50 in reserve
Round 7 of 12
C64 nostalgia: lol
Elvenwitch: LOL
gittenlucky: he gets caught on that same mountain all the time
Elvenwitch: the rat thing only is on mountains that are not owned so it lowers every time one gets taken
Elvenwitch: good call
poobslag: ouch
gittenlucky: not a good price for crystie anyway
poobslag: damn didn't think ahead
Round 8 of 12
poobslag: heh! heh! ouch to gittenluck
gittenlucky: ya, that should be good for my energy production
poobslag: guess there's always the store fire
C64 nostalgia: lol, yep
poobslag: 1 crystite?!
Round 9 of 12
C64 nostalgia: wow, this is so bad for me
poobslag: we'll see, i'm not gonna actually be using my plots effectively until like dev #11 at this rate
poobslag: and a store fire could really put you in 1st
poobslag: there's still, what, three in the deck i think
gittenlucky: i was going to switch that to crystite next round anyway -_
gittenlucky: -_-
Elvenwitch: crap sorry guys
Elvenwitch: totally wasnt paying attention
C64 nostalgia: sure
Elvenwitch: LOL
Elvenwitch: I pay my dues
poobslag: heh heh
C64 nostalgia: you had too much money
Elvenwitch: It really was an accident
Round 10 of 12
poobslag: heh eight mules to go kid
poobslag: does the game still assume players need 4 mules per round when setting smithore prices? or does it change to zero once all plots are taken
poobslag: i remember in 1.2.2 it bottomed out at 4 instead of 0
Elvenwitch: stay there
C64 nostalgia: 0
Round 11 of 12
gittenlucky: leave me one please?
poobslag: heh heh
Elvenwitch: guess not
C64 nostalgia: first curse
Elvenwitch: lol
gittenlucky: I have been screwed the last 4 rounds....
gittenlucky: The game picks on the guy that is winning...
poobslag: mhm
poobslag: so don't win!
gittenlucky: oh, i wont
Round 12 of 12
poobslag: oof committed
Elvenwitch: was that a stragity or a fit??
poobslag: he wants empty plots to jack up smithore
C64 nostalgia: stag
C64 nostalgia: still empty plot
C64 nostalgia: s
poobslag: *shrug* i don't know
poobslag: i guess we'll see i've never seen this happen in round 12 it's all new to me
poobslag: at least i'll learn something
poobslag: tsk yeah bummer
poobslag: ooooh good crystite price though
poobslag: my bad
C64 nostalgia: had to go for broke
Elvenwitch: yes, yes it was :-)
