piete: 1 round too late

Polyrythmmm: so er.. you didnt want it then gkot?

piete: i did ;)

Polyrythmmm: you NEED it

Polyrythmmm: but you also have it so...

gkotschy: no, just making sure "the price is right"

piete: gets me off the 1st place

piete: i never gamble with plots although sometimes i should have

piete: once had lots more money than the others, if had waited for the first expensive plot not sell, could have bought the 3 following but bought the first and lost the money advantage

Polyrythmmm: yeah that happens

piete: difficult to collude... ;)

urgrue: op

urgrue: oh well

piete: no pirates yet

piete: so high chance to appear

Polyrythmmm: yup

gkotschy: hmm

urgrue: let them starve :)

piete: 2s plenty for me

gkotschy: too much food in the hold :(

piete: difficult

piete: with lag

Round 5 of 12

piete: i pay well...

piete: didnt produce any

Polyrythmmm: grusome

Round 6 of 12

piete: cheap...

Polyrythmmm: mine mine

piete: good that you bought it :)

piete: i think ill receive a package...

Polyrythmmm: yeah likely

piete: counting on it :)

Polyrythmmm: how many legs they sposed to have?

Polyrythmmm: yikes

piete: being 1st is no funny

gkotschy: buying the territory should have solved that

urgrue: only 80

urgrue: this sucks

piete: it doesnt update until end of auctions

piete: nobody obliges you to sell ;)

Polyrythmmm: grrr

urgrue: well if other sell, kinda have to

piete: on the contrary

piete: you have to differentiate yourself to win

urgrue: wont the price drop radically since all three others sold?

piete: yes

piete: but for the next price rise you would have stock

urgrue: guess so

piete: and that stock would have low value keeping you well positioned (last)

Polyrythmmm: booo

piete: on the other hand, i prefer cash to be able to buy plots... ;)

urgrue: well im always well positioned

Round 7 of 12

urgrue: always last :)

piete: damn!

Polyrythmmm: b;lasted wumpus!

urgrue: it always goes to unoccupied mountains

urgrue: blinks twice and then switches mountains

Polyrythmmm: not on a wednesday

urgrue: yay

piete: nice

Polyrythmmm: lucky

Polyrythmmm: I heard if you type pirates into the chat field three times... they come.

piete: pirates

urgrue: lol

piete: pirates

urgrue: cookies

Polyrythmmm: No!!!

urgrue: cookies

Polyrythmmm: hmmm a falacy

piete: didnt want to lose the next plot? ;)

piete: it will cost you 2600 anyway

Polyrythmmm: I am feeling pirates I just hate when they wait for round 11

urgrue: i aint fraid of no pirates

piete: my food plot has produced 0 and 1

Polyrythmmm: Ghostbusters?

piete: once 2 when i had two plots

Polyrythmmm: that is abysmal

urgrue: :)

piete: when im not 1st i risk with 1 plot only ;)

piete: like this round

Round 8 of 12

Polyrythmmm: Glac Elves!

Polyrythmmm: nothing is more insidious

piete: a better food plot, got 2 now :)

piete: pirates next round...

urgrue: for sure?

piete: im afraid

gkotschy: yep

piete: of course not

piete: pirates pirates pirates

gkotschy: arrrrr

Round 9 of 12

piete: that was cheap!

piete: nice formation

Polyrythmmm: there it is!

piete: just 2 rounds too late

urgrue: brb

piete: dont want to suggest anything but next round smithore would be more expensive due to no mules... ;)

piete: although we overproduced

urgrue: pirates pirates pirates

gkotschy: thank you

Polyrythmmm: booo

urgrue: Aaaaaargh

urgrue: that was my only hope, obi wan

piete: too much, requires fire

piete: but nevertheless better investment this round than crystite

Polyrythmmm: all my beautiful crystite

urgrue: and mine

urgrue: STOOPID PIRATES

piete: i produced little so am not that sad

Polyrythmmm: yes our beautiful crystite

piete: ive seen other people do this :)

Polyrythmmm: :)

piete: gives you more productive plots

Polyrythmmm: really?

Polyrythmmm: na that's superstition

Polyrythmmm: host where are you?

Round 10 of 12

urgrue: sorry,

Polyrythmmm: that's ok

Polyrythmmm: wsnt too long

urgrue: household duties calling :)

piete: no, you dont have to produce energy when you have lots of surplus

piete: divide the risk ;)

Polyrythmmm: ouch

urgrue: how did this happen , ouch

Polyrythmmm: unheard of

piete: what?

Polyrythmmm: you win

piete: youre all wo energy?

urgrue: yeah

piete: put energy to the closest plots on left to be able to change them back last round

Polyrythmmm: i have 3 plots and produced 3 energy

Round 11 of 12

Polyrythmmm: oh no!

Polyrythmmm: I dont have 3

Polyrythmmm: I am deluded

Polyrythmmm: I have 2

piete: you can change 4-5 playing precisely

piete: but not that low right plot...

Polyrythmmm: I know I was trying to conserve producer plots

Polyrythmmm: but its hopeless

piete: if pirates come now it will still leave the game undecided

Polyrythmmm: particularly since Im down 8 energy and in last place :(

piete: so now you hope for them ;)

Polyrythmmm: yeah well...

urgrue: baaah

piete: uhh

Polyrythmmm: awesome

urgrue: i neeed powaaaah

piete: that was 3 acid rains

Polyrythmmm: congrats

urgrue: accid rain, aaaacid rain

piete: thanks, i got lucky

Polyrythmmm: you made your luck too though I think

piete: i think never had a game with three acid rains

piete: if i didnt buy the energy i would have had 4 energy plots to produce

Polyrythmmm: I was after it too you edged my

piete: ive been with little energy many times towards the end, too

Polyrythmmm: it was the rain that killed us

urgrue: is there any advantage to having surplus food?

Polyrythmmm: glac elf insurance

Polyrythmmm: no other that Im aware

piete: no need to produce

piete: poly, remember you need some

piete: we need 11 all

piete: surplus is not well calculated if you have many energy plots

urgrue: im not last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Round 12 of 12

gkotschy: my plots are too far away :(

piete: the formation of crystite is not favourable for the map, it lost many medium crystite plots

piete: if i have plots on the right i try to equip them with the final production early bc its always faster to change the plots on the left

gkotschy: yikes

Polyrythmmm: 101

Polyrythmmm: yowzer

Polyrythmmm: over two turns mind

piete: the colony caught up, lets see if we get to 100000

Polyrythmmm: doubt it

piete: last round under 70000

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Polyrythmmm: hmmm

Polyrythmmm: lousy

urgrue: well done

Polyrythmmm: thanks guys

piete: sorry about your energy shortage but if was partly self-induced

gkotschy: gg
