Brentsky: i think he just wants a friend

Sniper: I got it 1st yo. :P

Brentsky: damn you...

Miloczar left the game

Computer takes over Miloczar

Sniper: great. stupid AI from round 1

Chuckie Chuck: Already?

Sniper: AI fuggs up the game. Miloczar needs to be hunted down and beaten in real life

Sniper: stupid AI putting out like 10 food plots and stuff

Brentsky: lol

Chuckie Chuck: starve the computer

Chuckie Chuck: no telling what he'll get this round

Round 2 of 12

Sniper: stupid

Brentsky: lol

Brentsky: nicely done

Sniper: Here we go...all in on food and energy for the AI

Chuckie Chuck: see if I can keep the pc out of the smithore game

Sniper: oh god, the AI loves smithore.

Sniper: and loves to sell it cheap

Chuckie Chuck: careful regulation helps

Chuckie Chuck: as long as there is just a little smith in the store, computer won't be as likely to build smith

Chuckie Chuck: takes a little longer to hit 230, but still doable

Sniper: Just because a computer has non-mountain plots won't mean that rat bastard won't put smithore on it either.

Round 3 of 12

Chuckie Chuck: I know

Chuckie Chuck: but keep just two smithore in the store each round (enough to build 1 mule)

Chuckie Chuck: could keep the computer from doing it as soon

Chuckie Chuck: he won't this round, cause he got a river plot

Chuckie Chuck: and he won't change developed plots

Sniper: and he has to get his 4 plots of food out before switching things over.

Sniper: seriously. The AI is a bit smarter at the auction rounds than the original, but definitely not at development

Chuckie Chuck: dah

Round 4 of 12

Brentsky: damn....

Sniper: :( That always sucks.

Chuckie Chuck: almost doubled my money there

Chuckie Chuck: bought for 88, sold for 140

Round 5 of 12

Sniper: oh shit

Sniper: fuck me

Brentsky: lol

Sniper: i lost track of where it was...right out the damn door

Sniper: i panicked. lol.

Sniper: I had it easy

Sniper: and it cost me 3 bars of smithore

Sniper: minimum

Sniper: 1 1/2 bars of smithore.

Brentsky left the game

Computer takes over Brentsky

Sniper: lame

Chuckie Chuck: damn

Sniper: brentsky probably has tons of crystite on his plots too.

Round 6 of 12

Chuckie Chuck: lol

Chuckie Chuck: prob

Round 7 of 12

Chuckie Chuck: free ride looks over

Round 8 of 12

Sniper: woo 1050 yay

Round 9 of 12

Chuckie Chuck: brentsky did have a lot of good crystite

Sniper: i know. he's a fool for bailing early

Chuckie Chuck: two highs on the bottom row he got

Chuckie Chuck: and a medium between them

Sniper: If he continued picking plots, he would have had it made

Round 10 of 12

Sniper: again and again

Chuckie Chuck: wow

Chuckie Chuck: within 8 points of 2nd

Chuckie Chuck: lol

Chuckie Chuck: I'll get it back

Chuckie Chuck: but you bagged the game

Round 11 of 12

Sniper: i hate ai games

Chuckie Chuck: I did the best I could considering my weak crystite plots

Sniper: yeah, nothing u can do. bad crystite placement

Sniper: i got lucky on mine. I didn't check to see what was there, I just picked.

Sniper: no pirates all game. I haven't seen that in a long, long time.

Chuckie Chuck: now you need just enough food for a mule last round

Sniper: meteor in round 11. lol. ridiculous.

Sniper: worth more than $10 as goods. Even with spoilage probably

Round 12 of 12

Chuckie Chuck: stroll around the map

Sniper: it is so different from the original in some aspects

Sniper: nice production last round for ya though

Sniper: don't sell!

Sniper: last round u only lose value if you sell

Chuckie Chuck: just want to break the 10K

Chuckie Chuck: lol

Sniper: lol. that's cool. heh. I was wondering.

Chuckie Chuck: I've never found that to be true, value is same as cash

Chuckie Chuck: just waste of time

Sniper: but I think the "sell" value isn't as high. But maybe on the online version that is different.

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Sniper: AI sucked.

Sniper: Thanks for sticking in there though

Chuckie Chuck: sell value is higher than buy value, but assets are based on buy in online

Sniper: ok. cool.

Sniper: Luck of the draw. We played very similar tactic.

Sniper: I just got better crystite out of pure luck.

Chuckie Chuck: hehe, can see years of AI experience, lol

Chuckie Chuck: I've been playing M.U.L.E. since 1986

Sniper: Nothing beats 4 players that are actually human (even if they are a packer, bonzoid, etc.)

Sniper: Yeah, I played with friends back when the game was new in 83 I think.

Chuckie Chuck: hehe

Sniper: I know it was before 85 because I moved to Michigan but I played in Wisconsin with my friends well before that.

Sniper: on a c64

Chuckie Chuck: I got it when I got my C64, one of my first games

Sniper: I had an apple IIc

Sniper: lame. lol. Luckily, friends had c64s

Chuckie Chuck: I still have the floppy, lol (a bandit brothers hack copy)

Sniper: I have an original I got with a c64 purchase of a couple years back.

Sniper: I collect old school video game systems and arcade games.

Chuckie Chuck: Cool

Chuckie Chuck: I still have a collection of working commodore stuff

Sniper: Got a full size Tron and Star Wars vector graphics arcade game.

Sniper: I used to have over 50 arcade games, now I just have around 10

Sniper: And half those are dead.

Chuckie Chuck: even got the cable to hook a 1541/1571 other peripherals to the printer port of a legacy port based PC so I can bring my floppies into the emulator

Sniper: Gorf. :(

Sniper: Sweet. I

Sniper: I need to check out what is still on my old floppies

Sniper: that lemon64 site is nice

Chuckie Chuck: my favs for disc images are...

Chuckie Chuck: gb64.com and c64.com

Chuckie Chuck: pretty complete game disk collection on both, if one doesn't have it the other does

Sniper: I remember someone had a massive archive of c64 stuff. It was someone's name

Sniper: I forgot the site

Chuckie Chuck: there is still an official company or two producting real C64 soft (like Geos64)

Sniper: I am more into console gaming, but I love the c64. I used to have a vic modem and loved the BBS scene

Chuckie Chuck: it's harder to find utility stuff, but it is out there

Sniper: Yeah, and someone reverse engineered q-LINK

Chuckie Chuck: I started bbsing on a c64 with a 300 baud modem, lol

Sniper: Loved the old Cnet boards

Sniper: Detroit area had a real big C64 BBS scene

Chuckie Chuck: then went 2400 baud on my first PC

Sniper: I moved to an Amiga in the 90's and didn't get a PC until around 96-7

Chuckie Chuck: Had a few commie boards here around Chico, CA but they were up and down a lot (actually ran on 64s and always got nuked by being on to much)

Chuckie Chuck: The last one to cater to c64 went down in the mid 90s, it ran on an amiga

Sniper: One of my friends was big into phreaking and would let his computer dial up numbers all night

Sniper: pulled up 4-6 calling card numbers for free long distance. lol.

Sniper: That was the day. Now u get busted quick and easy doing that.

Chuckie Chuck: I stayed on the BBS scene until the last one went down about 8 years ago here in Chico.

Sniper: Cool. Rode it out to the end.

Chuckie Chuck: We had one for a while that actually offered a gui gateway into the internet for dos computers for a very cheap fee compared to AOL

Chuckie Chuck: like $10/mo

Sniper: Those early fees for AOL were nuts.

Chuckie Chuck: yeah, but internet was new and barely public

Sniper: I ran up the charges too high on Q-link and I had to disconnect my service. They told me I had to write in and do all this stuff... and then I saw people were kicked off the service for insulting people in the chat rooms.

Chuckie Chuck: I still wish we had some BBS's around

Chuckie Chuck: terminal comunication was cool

Chuckie Chuck: lol

Sniper: So I was really nasty to the moderators. "Q-Guides" and poof! easy

Sniper: I forgot what terminal program I used. So long ago

Chuckie Chuck: Telix was my fav

Chuckie Chuck: Procomm was decent

Sniper: It sounds familiar.

Chuckie Chuck: ZModem was the mainstream file transfer protocol

Sniper: Yeah, I do remember that. I downloaded games all the time.

Sniper: They were zipped!

Chuckie Chuck: Someone came up with a special protocol at the end that was full duplex (could send and recieve a file at the same time)

Sniper: Four files... 1! Seven Cities of Gold, 2! Seven Cities of Gold, etc.

Chuckie Chuck: It was cool, but getting it to cooperate was tricky sometimes

Sniper: SYSOP chat was always cool

Sniper: Bothering the sysop

Sniper: one of those old BBS programs had programming in it where you could make it look like the sysop was on and talking to you. Fun stuff

Chuckie Chuck: lol

Chuckie Chuck: I had two buddies in high school that ran WWIV boards

Sniper: Everyone seemed to run either Cnet or Color 64 where I was

Chuckie Chuck: It was fun to go to their house and log in local on the actually server and download to floppies instantly, lol

Chuckie Chuck: anyways, gotta run, ttyl

Sniper: Yeah, my friend met a couple people and we'd do that. The funny thing is, one was indian and his house smelled of curry and everyone hated it. lol.

Chuckie Chuck: lol

Sniper: But he was cool.

Sniper: Just his house stunk.
