zzzdude: /me asdf

zzzdude: lame

EtherDragon: dam, I might already be in over my head - with all that Wombat craziness.

Paladinian: Don't worry about the wampus. Its not a game changer, just a nice bonus if you find yourself with extra time.

Paladinian: Well, there's one out of the way

zzzdude: i dont get it, is there a random variable when it comes to production?

EtherDragon: Yes

Paladinian: Yes, +/- 3

zzzdude: am i doing it right

Paladinian: So far so good

zzzdude: o ok

EtherDragon: Can you say Energy shortage?!

zzzdude: idk

EtherDragon: Energy is a sellers market.

zzzdude: what happens if i dont make up the -1 energy

EtherDragon: One of your plots (random) will fail to produce

EtherDragon: er Non-energy plot that is

Paladinian: If you don't have enough juice for your mules some of them won't produce

Round 3 of 12

zzzdude: o lame

Paladinian: Yes, what Ether said

zzzdude: is there a bonus to having all your plots connected?

Paladinian: Mules on adjacent plots making the same thing each get a +1 bonus

zzzdude: o ok

zzzdude: what about enemy mules?

Paladinian: So a square surrounded by 4 plots each doing the same thing produces +4 in that square

zzzdude: what do i do oh god

EtherDragon: sell it back

Paladinian: Go back in the corale to sell

zzzdude: o i didnt know i oculd do that

EtherDragon: Heres hoping for no pirates

zzzdude: why what do they do

Paladinian: There's been one, so there can hypothetically be one more. Max 2.

EtherDragon: Steal all my crystite

zzzdude: o

zzzdude: what happens with surplus? does it spoil after 1 turn?

EtherDragon: Yes, on food and energy only

Paladinian: Food spoils half. Energy spoils 1/4. Smith / cryst spoils everything above 50

EtherDragon: 150 and I'll sell another

Round 4 of 12

Paladinian: :(

EtherDragon: dam

zzzdude: what

EtherDragon: Ran out of time, Mule left the corralle

zzzdude: o
