Sniper joined the game in slot 1

Sniper: hola

Sniper: ever play before?

deanfrz: how ya doing?

deanfrz: not for a while

Sniper: You play the original?

deanfrz: yah

deanfrz: but right now I was busy with port forwarding

Sniper: lol. Yeah, I had to figure that out myself.

deanfrz: I'm not sure If I've got a static IP or what

HokieDave visits

HokieDave joined the game in slot 3

Sniper: static ip in your network?

deanfrz: something like that

HokieDave: No static for me. Wish I could figure out how to host a game without one.

Sniper: yeah. That can be a pain. You get another IP address in the network - port not forwarded (at least on my routher)

deanfrz: I got the firewall rule configured, but I've still got to figure out the NAT rule

Sniper: I have no nat issues. I forward the port, gtg!

deanfrz: that's cool

HokieDave: A bot for the fourth spot?

Sniper: hell no. lol. I just played with AI. They put out 6 food plots

deanfrz: try inviting some n00bs

Sniper: helped me lose the game.

HokieDave: OK. No sweat. I can wait.

Sniper: It was me vs. 2 humans and I couldn't beat the first place curse

deanfrz: the trick is to hunt the wumpus

deanfrz: maybe invite baron?

deanfrz: first place curse is a myth, if you're really in first it wont hurt you much

Sniper: invite anyone

HokieDave: Baron bailed on me last game. Had to eat dinner or something, but that was a while ago

Sniper: Losing a plot of land because you are 200 points ahead of the 3rd place guy? Losing out on food and missing a turn? Oh yeah - It hurts.

deanfrz: i dunno, can you even invite from lobby?

deanfrz: you were only 200p ahead of third? you were only technically in first

Sniper: Losing $2000 for mining mules that need repair is losing 2000 points.

Sniper: Early in the game, of course.

M.U.L.E. visits

M.U.L.E. joined the game in slot 4

Sniper: The person technically in 1st gets hammered. Sometimes #2 does too

Sniper: hello mule.

deanfrz: hallo!

Round 1 of 12

Sniper: yipes. who laggin' ?

deanfrz: i dunno, I'm pulling 240ms

M.U.L.E.: i am

deanfrz: though people often call me a lagger

HokieDave: I've got 190ms and 60 fps

HokieDave: good there

M.U.L.E. is not responding to continue

Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game

Sniper: someone is fixing to get dropped

Sniper: giving 10 seconds

M.U.L.E. was disconnected

Computer takes over M.U.L.E.

HokieDave: bot him

deanfrz: damn it

Sniper: damn that sucks. Got an AI anyway

HokieDave: we'll be OK

Sniper: ruins the game. Hey! At least you'll guys will do good. I suck at AI games.

deanfrz: easy for you to say, I didnt get any food

HokieDave: maybe the bot will make energy for us

Sniper: last game I was in they made food. Ridiculous

Round 2 of 12

deanfrz: wooo, humans on top!

HokieDave: land rush!

Sniper: good god.

deanfrz: dang

deanfrz: with no AI at least you can make vicious scams

HokieDave: damn!

HokieDave: teach me to hunt the wumpus!

Sniper: u have to go to a plot that nobody owns and press the spacebar on it. But not when u have a mule

Sniper: or assay robot

HokieDave: i was trying to get the wumpus bvut grabbed my mule instead

deanfrz: looks like sniper is going to corner the market

Sniper: u shouldn't sell. Demand will go up

deanfrz: at least trying

HokieDave: damn

deanfrz: fuck!

Round 3 of 12

deanfrz: hahaha

HokieDave was disconnected

Computer takes over HokieDave

Sniper: nice

deanfrz: what, lame

Sniper: he was winning too. looking real good early

Sniper: he could have passed the next round with only a little issue.

deanfrz: who quits because of slight difficulty?

Sniper: i couldn't imagine him quitting. I think something else happened.

deanfrz: must have been

Sniper: he had a great start

Sniper: and we have an energy producing AI guy.

Sniper: can't get any better than that.

deanfrz: course, food prices are sky high

Round 4 of 12

Sniper: this is just plain sad

deanfrz: yeah, losers

deanfrz: plus, I'm broke

Sniper: you don't have to put the mule back

deanfrz: oops

deanfrz: i should be okay

Sniper: u have decent plots.

deanfrz: the way you've been buying the smithore we wont have any mules next turn

deanfrz: jerk

Sniper: Smithore trade is the #1 strategy

Sniper: yep. knew that would happen. Stupid

Sniper: lousy game

deanfrz: see, the gods are punishing you for your hubris

deanfrz: looks like dave had a timeout

Sniper: yeah, his internet connection probably did that to him.

Sniper: that sucks for him...he would be destroying us by now.

deanfrz: yeah

deanfrz: you'd think there would be more players on a saturday

Sniper: There are 6 games going on...only 1 is training

Round 5 of 12

Sniper: of course

deanfrz: well, I'm new... hahahahaha

Sniper: these AI's are idiots. I hate this game.

deanfrz: yeah

deanfrz: but it'll wreck out numbers

deanfrz: our numbers

Round 6 of 12

deanfrz: bastard

deanfrz: is foul language normal to this game?

Sniper: to some people. I don't care. I drop f bombs too many times.

Sniper: can't go over 50 or it will spoil in the next round

Sniper: i should have bought out the store. Damn.

deanfrz: hmmmm

deanfrz: so without NPCs, food rpices'll jump?

Sniper: all depends on demand of course. If people don't make it, they starve.

Sniper: starving = no time

deanfrz: i've never had much of a chance to play mule with outhers

Sniper: human players don't want to give their opponents time to put stuff out.

Round 7 of 12

deanfrz: put stuff out?

deanfrz: oh, right, want them to starve

Sniper: and energy is good for getting your plots to produce. A human player NEVER sells to another human player so they produce stuff to beat them.

Sniper: Well, ...not NEVER. You can sell one unit and then sell a bunch the next round to make tons of money. It is better with food than energy though.

Sniper: oh no pirates

Sniper: whew. THat is better

deanfrz: nah, pirates came the first turn

Sniper: buy buy buy

Sniper: well that kinda sucked. lol.

Sniper: it will go to the 200's next round. Now? I don't know.

deanfrz: meh

deanfrz: only 7 mules left

deanfrz: and I keep losing mules

deanfrz: i guess the AI thinks its a cash game

Round 8 of 12

deanfrz: lol whut?

deanfrz: bastard

Sniper: at the end of this round there needs to be zero mules.

deanfrz: you was dumping them

Sniper: u will have your 2 that u can put out

Sniper: 3 if u hurry!

Sniper: maybe not. :(

Sniper: shit that sucks

deanfrz: dibs

Sniper: screw it. good enough.

deanfrz: ah crap

Sniper: nice

deanfrz: since the space pirates only know once, I figure why now?

deanfrz: why do they sell? I guess its a friendly colony

Sniper: cuz ai is stupid

Round 9 of 12

deanfrz: lame

Sniper: yay! again!

Sniper: it doesnt' affect the price selling crystite. It could be 140 next round.

deanfrz: still, I wanted to buy

Sniper: i am just a coward of pirates

deanfrz: i hate the ai here

Sniper: it really ruins the game.

Round 10 of 12

deanfrz: wunmpus all gone?

Sniper: yeah. if no open mountain plots are left

deanfrz: damn

Sniper: nice call dude

deanfrz: why i shoulda bought

Round 11 of 12

Sniper: no pirates all game. cool! 2nd time today for me.

deanfrz: they came the first turn

Sniper: damn smithore to hell

Sniper: hard to manage smithore with AI

deanfrz: true

deanfrz: does crystal ever spoil?

Sniper: in the c64 version I don't think over 50 does. But in this one, over 50 does spoil

Round 12 of 12

deanfrz: is this it or one more?

Sniper: this is it

deanfrz: better to sell or hold?

Sniper: hold

deanfrz: oh

Sniper: typically nobody sells in the last round

deanfrz: except ai

Sniper: they don't even do it

deanfrz: lame

Sniper: don't need food or energy in last round at all.

Sniper: well, to produce after round 11...but nothing for round 12

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

deanfrz: dang

deanfrz: gg

Sniper: u had the best plots. If you had a bit more experience you would have pwned me big time

Sniper: you can replace all your energy plots in round 11

Sniper: er...round 12

deanfrz: or 11 if you have some stored up

Sniper: yep.

deanfrz: later!

deanfrz left the game

Sniper: But 96 K is nice with 2 AI!
