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 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.
