Round 1 of 12

Bob 42: Uh.. .Jim?

Mean Jim: oh shit - i forgot my color.

Bob 42: that sucks

Bob 42: by the way, I had to rewire my entire network in order to get hosting to work

Bob 42: trying to work around a bad home network setup

Mean Jim: yeah, i use a mac and the port forwarding was kicking my ass until I found a freeware program (port-o-call) that is so easy

Bob 42: port o call?

Bob 42: hm... I'll have to look into that

Bob 42: well, just in case if I did something wrong and the network goes down, I am sorry in advance

Bob 42: It has been working flawlessly for the last half hour though, so I think we are fine

Round 9 of 12

Bob 42: so does this game have a mechanism against mashing spacebar for land choice?

Mean Jim: everything is in reverse order of what place you're in

Mean Jim: so, yes, you can mash the spacebar and you *should* get your choice

Bob 42: that should seems like a big iff

Bob 42: if

Round 10 of 12

Bob 42: damn, too poo

Round 11 of 12

Mean Jim: ouch!

Bob 42: ?

Bob 42: ah, did not know about that

Mean Jim: smithore spoils down to 50

Bob 42: new to this game

Bob 42: what makes some plots produce more?

Antero: same with crystite?

Mean Jim: yep, crack spoils to 50 as well

Mean Jim: plots produce based on 3 things

Mean Jim: type of land vs type of production

Bob 42: I've been noticing that some plots produe a lot, you're crystal spots of the same number of crystals have been producing on average twice as many units

Bob 42: is it becasue they are clumped together?

Bob 42: or is it random?

Mean Jim: economy of scale - adjacent lots producing the same thing produce more

Antero: yea, they get a bonus being together

Bob 42: gotcha

Mean Jim: and the other economy of scale - any three lots (anywhere) producing the same thing

Bob 42: and that boosts production?

Mean Jim: yep

Bob 42: which boosts it more?

Round 12 of 12

Bob 42: and is that for any resource?

Bob 42: and also, is that if they are touching on the sides

Bob 42: or does a long line or chain of properties work as well?

Mean Jim: i think they all boost the same - but there's an additive effect if you have 3 plots adjacent AND producing the same thing, you get double bonus

Mean Jim: And yes, 4 together, 5 together, etc. continue to help produce more

Bob 42: and should they be clumped together, or does a long chain work?

Mean Jim: long chain is fine - same result
