urgrue: no
egrutt: well heres some tips, if they start planting farms, u dont need to worry bout food, just buy from ai. always make sure u got nough energy to power yourself cause other real players may buy out ai power to screw ya
egrutt: and after buying first item from ai move down immediatly they will usually follow and after a few purchases u can get it for 1 over store
urgrue: ok thanks
egrutt: if they dont move down, u will have to keep buying one at a time cause they will never move down on their own

Round 1 of 12
egrutt: 3 mnt urge
egrutt: not a 1
urgrue: indeed, i forgot
urgrue: its like 15 years since i played mule :)
urgrue: in a game yesterday, this player would always hike up the price to the highest possible in land auction (but not buy). any idea why? he was 22 in rankings so i doubt it was a pointless act
egrutt: since 2 of us already got a plot and 2 3 mounts left better choice
egrutt: well he wants to make sure no one gets the plot
urgrue: but he was way beyond that point, nobody was offering anything
urgrue: to me it seemed like hes just slowing the game down
egrutt: well he was just raising lowest price so no one could buy at last min
egrutt: but yes it slows game down
urgrue: yea but if hes in the top of the screen and everyone else bottom, he can easily react if someone starts to climb, without having to be running all th etime
urgrue: i tried asking him but he would tell me, and just called me an idiot :)
Bumbes: sounds like you played vs eumel
egrutt: true but if he just runs till bot price is higher than anyone has in money then no one can take it
egrutt: lol i played him yest too
Round 2 of 12
urgrue: yea it was eumel :) lol
egrutt: gogogo
egrutt: so since ai goin for ore best to get some food
egrutt: which u got
egrutt: so emule talk crap all game i played till tur 12 i took lead from him lol
egrutt: er tur=till it's late lol
Round 3 of 12
urgrue: the benefits of low ranking :)
egrutt: wellif u go to 600 ai will back off
urgrue: that was surprising
egrutt: boo
egrutt: ore
urgrue: but i need to sell for money, and i sholdnt sell ore should i?
egrutt: not cryst to early for cryst ore will be 230 like next turn
Bumbes: guess we'll have to sell ore this round
Bumbes: ai will
egrutt: earthquake or fire good
urgrue: boohoo
Bumbes: lol 2 times pirates already
egrutt: ill stop him
egrutt: sigh lol maybe not
urgrue: that sucked
egrutt: usually he shys away from sellin
egrutt: lol
egrutt: only got 62
egrutt: parents send me food
Round 4 of 12
egrutt: 600
egrutt: see go up till he backs off
egrutt: at least so ai wont get it lol
egrutt: so my opinion, take it or leave it, i would go for high cryst spots but dont produce cryst till like turn 7-8ish
egrutt: ore gives better $$ at start of game than cryst
urgrue: but why not? it doesnt spoil and other stuff is worth less, no?
egrutt: cryst best is 148ish
urgrue: but since we all sold ore already , wont it be even les?
egrutt: yes but mules cost ore to make so ore will be 230 at some point soon
egrutt: and usually i sell cryst 100 or more and hold on to it under that.... unless i have over 50
urgrue: ah, i didnt realize the price would rise still since we sold a lot to the store already
egrutt: prob is cryst price is done off world, random each turn, cant control market prices with it
urgrue: in the off world colonies :)
urgrue: wow, im not last
Round 5 of 12
egrutt: food parents food
egrutt: yay least i can buy food this turn lol
egrutt: so if we can keep ai from selling price will go up next
egrutt: turn
urgrue: damn
Bumbes: ai just producing too much
egrutt: its ok... will just ride it out lol
egrutt: might as well sell
egrutt: ai will spoil and u got cash
Round 6 of 12
urgrue: what should i produce on my square?
urgrue: any suggestions?
egrutt: which 1?
urgrue: the mpty one
urgrue: its desert
urgrue: probably low crys
egrutt: well id say ore for all 3on that side but im bin 4th lol
egrutt: er actually just on blank 1
egrutt: get bonus 4for 3 of same on board
egrutt: woot
Bumbes: finally
egrutt: nice
urgrue: phew
