TheHamburglar: shit
Winterous: you didn't get any land
TheHamburglar: its over for me already
Winterous: '-_-
Winterous: you should play a few training games by yourself to figure out how to play
TheHamburglar: ill get it
Winterous: :P
rwgallow: I love the assay bot
Winterous: it's pretty cool yeah
Winterous: does Crystite decay at all?
rwgallow: I think if you have more than 50 it might
rwgallow: Smithore does that
Winterous: aah
Winterous: yeah
ceftriaxone: over 50 spoils on everything
Winterous: over 1 spoils on food and energy I think :P
Winterous: O_o
Winterous: what are you doing?
TheHamburglar: i dont know
ceftriaxone: buy low, sell high
Winterous: ooh
rwgallow: buying up the smithore
Winterous: aah yeah, that :P
Winterous: food monopoly :D
Winterous: you bought too much
TheHamburglar: lol
Winterous: you really should watch the tutorial videos :P
Winterous: won't the energy spoil if you buy excess?
rwgallow: a little
rwgallow: food spoils more
Winterous: aah, ok
Round 2 of 12
Winterous: D:
Winterous: oh no, a bat lizard!
rwgallow: lot o crystite in these parts
Winterous: <3 wumpus
Winterous: :D
TheHamburglar: is it a bad idea for me to build a farm?
Winterous: I love that you extort him
Winterous: not a bad idea
ceftriaxone: no...farm good
Winterous: just, I dunno
Winterous: we need some power generation :S
ceftriaxone: you should go wumpus hunting if u have more time
Winterous: yeah
Winterous: when you see him on a mountain go to him and push uyse
TheHamburglar: i should?
Winterous: XD
Winterous: well, not many Mules are gonna be in stock :P
ceftriaxone: :-)
ceftriaxone: that is the idea...
Winterous: ?
rwgallow: shortage of mules and smithore
Winterous: ham, don't buy any food
rwgallow: price should skyrocket
Winterous: you don't need it
ceftriaxone: $$ for smithore
Winterous: alright, don't buy enough food
Winterous: whatever
ceftriaxone: store needs 2 smithore to make a mule....as long as there are open plots..store wants more smithore
Winterous: mm
Winterous: ooh, then yeah
Winterous: :D
rwgallow: you can create a shortage of anything
rwgallow: but smithore is the best in the short run
Winterous: damnit Hamburg, l2p XD
Round 3 of 12
Winterous: is the adjacency bonus big?
rwgallow: it matters a little
rwgallow: enuf to matter
Winterous: yeah
ceftriaxone: makes a big difference
Winterous: :D
TheHamburglar: dang
Winterous: :P
ceftriaxone: one bonus for next to bonus, and one for each 3 of a kind
Winterous: out purchased
Winterous: ooh wow
Winterous: that's a big deal
Winterous: do the next-to bonuses stack?
ceftriaxone: i think so....
Winterous: awesp,e
Winterous: awesome*
Winterous: is it next to ANYTHING, or of the same type?
ceftriaxone: same type
Winterous: aah ok
Winterous: interesting
ceftriaxone: geography is not as important as it seems at first....
TheHamburglar: what happens if you run out of time
rwgallow: both cef's smithore's get a bonus
rwgallow: if you run out of time, u just don't get the pub bonus
TheHamburglar: gotcha
rwgallow: in the late game, i don't even care if i run out of time if i get done what i need
rwgallow: pub/wumpus bigger deal early on
Winterous: phew
Winterous: cut it close
ceftriaxone: wumpus only comes out on unowned land....so later in the game, no wumpus
Winterous: yeah
ceftriaxone: only one wumpus per turn
TheHamburglar: oh
Winterous: not enough power T_T
TheHamburglar: fuck
Winterous: well, that power shortage saved me some grief :S
Winterous: everyone's happy :)
Winterous: aah, energy only spoils a little bit
rwgallow: ham, you sold yourself to negative energy
ceftriaxone: you sold off your energy
TheHamburglar: oh
rwgallow: every plot needs an energy to work (except energy bots)
Round 4 of 12
ceftriaxone: nice wumpus move....that is the way to go
Winterous: :D
Winterous: not quite enough money? Extort the Wumpus!
rwgallow: shift to energy, ham
ceftriaxone: ...just dont know where he gets his cash from....
rwgallow: sells smithore
Winterous: cleraly he collects money people drop behind their couches
rwgallow: he lives in mountains ;)
Winterous: aaw, damn
Winterous: :S
ceftriaxone: oh...he makes crystal meth....
Winterous: XD
rwgallow: oooh
rwgallow: wondered why smithore was so pricey
TheHamburglar: lost power to my generators
rwgallow: b/c u had no energy
ceftriaxone: you sold all your energy
Winterous: wow, that is a LOT of food!
TheHamburglar: what's smithore for?
Winterous: making Mules
rwgallow: 2 smithore = one mule
ceftriaxone: the store needs 2 sm to make a mule
TheHamburglar: ah ok
rwgallow: cef and i are smithore speculating
TheHamburglar: but its for the good of the colony?
rwgallow: not to speak for him ;)
ceftriaxone: :-)
Winterous: fooooooood :D
rwgallow: ironically, driving up prices helps the colony
Winterous: plenty for all the children :)
Winterous: get your fill <3
Winterous: nein :P
Round 5 of 12
Winterous: fuck
Winterous: pushed it just too late :\
Winterous: :D
ceftriaxone: steal
Winterous: danke <3
ceftriaxone: land=500 at end of game
TheHamburglar: awesome
Winterous: ooh, worth knowing
rwgallow: at this stage, worth far more than $500
Winterous: yeah, the production you get is a lot
ceftriaxone: yes....many rounds of production as well
TheHamburglar: assay searches for crystite?
ceftriaxone: yes
Winterous: aaw nu :<
Winterous: yes
Winterous: extort his ass good XD
Winterous: he seems to like that mountain
Winterous: woo, energy surplus :D
Winterous: push action ham
ceftriaxone: ham....button
rwgallow: if u push your button, this will go faster
Winterous: wow, that is a FUCKLOAD
Winterous: :D
ceftriaxone: boom boom pow
rwgallow: unfortuantely for ham, the price is about to go through the floor
Winterous: lots of money :S
Winterous: *hopes for no pirates*
ceftriaxone: max at 148 ish
TheHamburglar: should i be selling that?
Winterous: yes, it serves no purpose
Winterous: other than selling
Winterous: random price each month
ceftriaxone: pirate can steal up to 3x
rwgallow: right, it's an off colony commodity what we do doesn't affect price
rwgallow: i usually sell at $100 or higher
Winterous: wait, food spoils lots
Round 6 of 12
Winterous: space gypsies, huh
Winterous: lots of crystite mining I see
Winterous: :D
ceftriaxone: nice....you are learning quick...
Winterous: it's largely just common sense
Winterous: once you understand how the game works
Winterous: that's the tricky bit really
ceftriaxone: the only problem with trying to corner the food and energy markets is the store sets the price depending on colony supply...
Winterous: push space ham
ceftriaxone: ham.....push button
Winterous: not enough money :S
Winterous: wow, that's a lot
Winterous: there doesn't seem much point in gathering a lot of energy
Winterous: unless production is down a turn
Round 7 of 12
Winterous: fucking hell, paying a lot :S
Winterous: :S
Winterous: push space
Winterous: :D
TheHamburglar: yeah, i got it
Winterous: :S
Winterous: wow, that is a LOT
Winterous: :D
Winterous: I talk so much more than everyone else :(
ceftriaxone: ;-)
TheHamburglar: :D
Winterous: so if you produce a million food, then refit all your farms
Winterous: will food sell for lots?
Round 8 of 12
Winterous: or energy, more sensibly
rwgallow: food isn't the best bargain
Winterous: yeah,
rwgallow: unless you extort other players
Winterous: :P
Winterous: by what, holding out on food?
Winterous: so they go hungreh
rwgallow: absolutely
rwgallow: #2 strategy I've seen is "starve the miners"
Winterous: :S
Winterous: but, then you'll have lots of wastage, won't you?
Winterous: and the price won't go up because you produce lots
Winterous: XD
Winterous: wii
Winterous: woo*
Winterous: moose rat!
rwgallow: honestly, most high ranked players never sell food to another player
rwgallow: it is dirty, but it hampers their development while you expand
Winterous: so what, they just produce enough for themselves and let the rest waste if they have excess?
rwgallow: yes
Winterous: huh
rwgallow: food first
Winterous: interesting
rwgallow: then energy
rwgallow: then mine for yourself
rwgallow: most do what cef did
rwgallow: heavy mine
rwgallow: buy food & energy early
Winterous: because smithore is such an easy thing to monopolise isn't it?
rwgallow: u can play specualtion games
rwgallow: see its at $202 a pop
rwgallow: I bought last turn at $85
Winterous: fucking hell!
rwgallow: cef produced a ton
rwgallow: your food is going for like 15
ceftriaxone: boom boom pow
Winterous: true enough
Winterous: and that's why mountain plots are important?
rwgallow: i'll bet you $1 cef starts mad shifting to crystite now that we've flooded the smithore market
ceftriaxone: they are a good base, but after EOS bonus, it doesnt matter
ceftriaxone: ;-)
Winterous: eos?
rwgallow: Economy of scale
Winterous: ..?
rwgallow: adjacency and the more you have the better u do
Winterous: aah
Winterous: so, for every 3 you have, each produces 1 more?
rwgallow: yep and adjacency increases by 1 also
Winterous: and for each adjacent thing of the same type, it produces 1 more?
ceftriaxone: yes
Winterous: wow, that is cool
rwgallow: see no diss
rwgallow: but all this food ur making
rwgallow: going for $15
Winterous: :<
rwgallow: cef was selling smithore for $230
Winterous: :P
rwgallow: i'm betting cef doesn't even have a food plot
Winterous: :S
rwgallow: buying energy and food on the cheap, using it to mine smithore and sell it expensive
ceftriaxone: food and energy only expensive when total colony low
Winterous: including expected production?
ceftriaxone: there is no expected production factor
Winterous: oh
Round 9 of 12
Winterous: :P
rwgallow: here comes the crystite
Winterous: :S
Winterous: NUUUUUU
Winterous: T_T
ceftriaxone: fire in store would be neat....another sm run....
Winterous: :S
Winterous: that kills all Mules too right?
ceftriaxone: no
Winterous: oh
ceftriaxone: it should though...good point
Winterous: :P
rwgallow: the mule is already made, why would it kill it?
Winterous: because it's a fire?
rwgallow: oh, maybe the mule comes out of that barn
ceftriaxone: stored in store.....?
Winterous: um, the whole place is the store
rwgallow: i guess
Winterous: WOW
Winterous: that is an awful lot of crystite
ceftriaxone: lots of crack for the big cities back home
Winterous: heh
Winterous: why are you buying so much?
ceftriaxone: well, security for a turn or two
rwgallow: so i can just mine
Round 10 of 12
Winterous: aah
TheHamburglar: oy
Winterous: :P
rwgallow: here comes the crystite
Winterous: :S
rwgallow: cef is playing a textbook game, i should take some notes
Winterous: max out on ore then go Crystite late game?
ceftriaxone: thanks.....i have been schooled a few times myself....
Winterous: :S
rwgallow: yes, ore early cryst late
rwgallow: the counter for this
rwgallow: which pisses people off, but can work
rwgallow: is to starve the miners
rwgallow: don't sell them food, don't sell them energy
Winterous: but can't they produce their own?
rwgallow: sure, but you can starve them early and cripple their production
Winterous: true
rwgallow: and by that point, you can mine yourself
Winterous: NUUUUUUUUU!
Winterous: T_T
TheHamburglar: what was that
Winterous: earthquake
TheHamburglar: and what happened?
Winterous: halves ore and crystite mining
rwgallow: winter, smithore market is flooded
rwgallow: don't buy it
Winterous: ...
Winterous: *facepalm*
rwgallow: cef is just dumping it for what he can get
Winterous: damnit, didn't mean to push t :S
ceftriaxone: cant switch over to crack fast enough
Winterous: one QUARTER of energy spoils, holy fuck
Round 11 of 12
ceftriaxone: what the hell happened to my mules?
Winterous: you ran out of time
ceftriaxone: i lost 3 mules on the top right.....
Winterous: D:
ceftriaxone: just disappeared.....
ceftriaxone: never seen that before.....
rwgallow: hmmm
rwgallow: were you switching them out for something else?
ceftriaxone: no.....
TheHamburglar: yikes, there goes another
ceftriaxone: definately a bug....
ceftriaxone: i only had one mule to change out, then this turn 3 were gone....
Winterous: holy dicks that's a lot of production :S
ceftriaxone: i think rw will win since i took this hit to my production....no kool
ceftriaxone: not kool...
rwgallow: sry man
rwgallow: i was looking forward to a close finish
rwgallow: i felt pretty good about 48 cryst this turn
ceftriaxone: i don't mean it is your fault...
Winterous: best report it I guess
ceftriaxone: yeah...i guess so.
ceftriaxone: i dont mind losing....just want to do it fair
rwgallow: sry man
ceftriaxone: oh well, just a game
Round 12 of 12
Winterous: it's sorta weird that my cryst mines don't have things next to them
Winterous: does that mean they're barren?
rwgallow: yes
Winterous: aah
rwgallow: no crystite
rwgallow: u get production off the adjacency, econ of scale
Winterous: mm
Winterous: weew
Winterous: why keep what you have?
ceftriaxone: last turn no need to sell
Winterous: really?
Winterous: not eve cryst?
Winterous: does it auto-sell for you?
ceftriaxone: final score calculated based on last price
Winterous: oh
Winterous: ok
rwgallow: there's an "assets" column that gives you credit for what u got
Winterous: cool
Winterous: so selling and sitting wouldn't change your score at all
ceftriaxone: good game.....hope you nubies learned a bit
Winterous: gg :)
TheHamburglar: certainlydid
TheHamburglar: that was fun everyone
Winterous: I did too, how to do well
