steyt: SWEET
stos: sup ken!
stos: werd!
steyt: ken you know stos
for_fraks_sake: howdy
steyt: stos you know derek
for_fraks_sake: yah
stos: its on the wierd resolution with netbooks though
steyt: i'm not sure if ken knows derek
nonzero: what up
for_fraks_sake: hey, don't think so
nonzero: Yeah, I have that issue on mine as well
steyt: ken, good luck
steyt: there's so much to learn
stos: yeah
steyt: i'll try to give pointers here during your turn
stos: but it looks fun!
steyt: most important thing at the beginning here is to grab land
nonzero: decided to play on my computer, as chat makes it better
steyt: DO NOT FORGET TO GRAB LAND
steyt: lets go
Round 1 of 6
nonzero: wait, should we grab land?
steyt: YES1
steyt: ONE ONE
steyt: be quick
steyt: get energy
steyt: or food
steyt: mule first
steyt: make sure your dude is on the plot
steyt: perfect
steyt: like a pro
steyt: remember to hunt the wumpus
steyt: up top
steyt: look for the wumpus and when you see him (in mountains)
steyt: get on the mountain and hit the space bar a few times
steyt: watch derek
steyt: up lef
steyt: derek is now lookign for crystite
steyt: bum out of luck on that plot
steyt: crystite is random
steyt: sucks for energy production
steyt: oh well
stos: basdtards
steyt: wow you guys got screwed
nonzero: wow
nonzero: haha this game hates you
steyt: lol
for_fraks_sake: damn right
steyt: this might seem confusing
steyt: derek's holding out on sellling his smithore so the price goes up
steyt: food == time
steyt: shortage of food == shortage of time
steyt: if you don't need time, you don't *need* food
steyt: energy however is essential
steyt: if your energy is short, mules shut down
steyt: it'll let you sell in shortage
steyt: but it's a bad idea
steyt: cause you're voluntarily shutting mules down
stos: RAVE RAVE RAVE
steyt: one
Round 2 of 6
steyt: see now there's the benefit of not being in first place
steyt: derek beats me in a tie
nonzero: yeah, I like that!
nonzero: being first is not great
steyt: !@#$
steyt: that was expensive
steyt: !@#$
stos: what are river beds good for?
for_fraks_sake: you should have let the average lot be cheap
steyt: !@#$
nonzero: what what
nonzero: in the butt
steyt: I just screwed up royally there
nonzero: that was unfortunate ;(
steyt: pretty funny though
steyt: WOW
steyt: they really don't want us to have energy
steyt: tempting the pirate
nonzero: oh i have no doubt i'll get bit in the ass=D
steyt: space
Round 3 of 6
steyt: gotta go a little higher
steyt: btw normally games are 12 rounds
steyt: well full-length ones are
for_fraks_sake: i ran out of time, what does that mean?
for_fraks_sake: just no cash bonus?
steyt: yeah
steyt: if you run out with a mule, it runs off
for_fraks_sake: can you put more than one on a tile?
for_fraks_sake: guess not
stos: what are those lines?
steyt: units produced
steyt: SELL
steyt: n
steyt: heh
steyt: stos you shouldn't buy smithore unless you're trying to force a shortage
steyt: low smithore == expensive MULEs
steyt: crystite are like diamonds
steyt: price varies due to off-world markets
stos: yeah, what does smithore do?
steyt: the store uses it to create mules
steyt: if we don't sell it to the store
steyt: the mule price goes
steyt: way up and there can be shortages
stos: aaaah
Round 4 of 6
stos: I see
stos: interesting
steyt: oh yeah and play order reverses if there aren't a lot of mules
steyt: like now
steyt: you can always grab an existing mule and re-outfit it
steyt: or sell mules if you get caught like that
steyt: grin
nonzero: dick!
stos: oh snap!
for_fraks_sake: well played
steyt: it's an old trick
steyt: so funny
stos: what is that?
nonzero: it'll make my smithwhore nice and high
steyt: yeah it totally wasn't worth it score wise for me
steyt: but it was funny and illustrative
steyt: trollface.jpg
steyt: derek you're kicking arse
Round 5 of 6
steyt: so yeah, you can put any mule anywhere except no mining the river
steyt: see if derek was awesome he'd buy and release all the mules
steyt: heh
nonzero: but i'm not mean ;)
steyt: you have to outfit for food to do that btw
nonzero: but yeah, I got a bit lucky, for sure there...no pirates!
nonzero: though we haven' t had 3 fires in a row too, so that's good
steyt: lol
steyt: yeah there's all kinds of random shit that can happen
steyt: kinda hard to see the wumpus with all the shit in the way
steyt: buttons here make it go faster
stos: what just happened
steyt: wow I was sure there was going to be pirates
steyt: we all produced food
steyt: i mean resoruces in general
steyt: after we each take a turn we produce
stos: i see
steyt: and then we auction our shit
steyt: well played, stos
stos: yeah
steyt: last round
stos: well I figured three were selling one was buying
Round 6 of 6
steyt: lol
steyt: RELEASE THE MULES
steyt: wow there's a lot
steyt: and they're 240
steyt: fucking a
steyt: that's caused by that early smithore strike derek was running
steyt: What you think, Ken?
steyt: there's a shitload more
steyt: it's hard to explain in a chat box
for_fraks_sake: interesting....not sure I have all the concepts yet
steyt: yeah i'd be talking non stop if we had voice
steyt: and still wouldn't be able to explain everything
stos: THe COlonies!
stos: So Say We All!
nonzero: Jon and I have been playing this since he had the atari in his dorm room
steyt: got I woldn't have built my farm there had I known it was a blast field
for_fraks_sake: it was really the cylons
steyt: yeah that was bad ass
steyt: this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWvQQuLPmzg
steyt: so, in the original, your goods were worth the last traded value
steyt: there's opportunity to game the system there
steyt: to get epic high colony scores
steyt: i'm not sure how it works in this one
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
for_fraks_sake: so last round, why not sell everything?
nonzero: haha the crystite at the end...dear lord
steyt: how the fuck
steyt: I got lucky
nonzero: it ws all that crystite, good to know how that works =D
steyt: ken: don't need to, any goods you have are worth last value
steyt: if you have no buyers, that's going to be a low value
steyt: I'm not sure how ti works in this game
stos: is that game?
steyt: it varied between old revisions
steyt: yeah
for_fraks_sake: right
steyt: break then another in a few?
nonzero: brb, need a drink
nonzero: word
