Sappmerine: 3 ppl is good?
Sgt York: rather wait a few for a 4th, if u don't mind
Keybounce: I'm ok
Keybounce: (I'm ok with a bot. They are less cut-throat)
Sappmerine: one thing, have there been more strategy to win than just smithmore?
Sgt York: is cut throat bad? lol
Sgt York: actually ai makes it less strategic - because it feeds you
Keybounce: Yes, crysite is a good strategy.
Keybounce: Got to handle the support though
Keybounce: I've discovered while playing here that energy and food man never be sold, so you have to provide your own
Sappmerine: right, since this is a collective nad competitve game

Keybounce: interesting start...
Keybounce: Very interesting
Allosteric: I'm purple!
Sappmerine: that bottom plot is mine! Plus we need power
Keybounce: Power? :-)
Keybounce: Can I trust you guys to supply food?
Keybounce: Wait, we've got a plains person...
Allosteric: So, are we playing a cooperative game then?
Sappmerine: its always coop
Allosteric: Well, to an extent, yeah.
Keybounce: That was NOT the square I was in :-)
Keybounce: I missed the pub, I should be 4th
Keybounce: omg
Sgt York: i hate round 1 fires
Sappmerine: press space on production screen
Keybounce: I use that time for planning
Keybounce: oh come on, how did I get so much
Round 2 of 12
Allosteric: Wampus?
Keybounce: No pub.
Allosteric: Wait, what?
Sgt York: u slowed down and let me pass u
Allosteric: Maybe I didn't see...
Keybounce: I didn't get the pub
Keybounce: Faster to cross river than the store
Allosteric: Yeah, you're probably right.
Sappmerine: great.....
Sgt York: you sold into the negataive??
Keybounce: First place???
Keybounce: I'm cursed
Allosteric: Do ho ho.
Round 3 of 12
Keybounce: Missed the mountain
Sgt York: orange, u playing??
Keybounce: cheap land ...
Sappmerine: i'm here
Sgt York: surprised u didn't b uy that plotfor only 400.. u let blue have it for 388
Sappmerine: to wide spread
Sappmerine: *too
Sgt York: who cares? 400 is cheap land, and it produces
Sgt York: not too many times u get no competition for cheap land
Sappmerine: by the way, how are we?
Sappmerine: as a colony
Allosteric: Solid, I guess.
Keybounce: ohh, tight food
Sappmerine: good power is needed
Sgt York: orange why would u buy at over 200??
Sappmerine: mixed thoughts :((
Sappmerine: thought it was needed to reduce cost
Sgt York: sell to the store and cost goes down
Sgt York: none in store, and it goes up
Sappmerine: go down
Sgt York: why? i'll buy it
Round 4 of 12
Sappmerine: store needed it
Sappmerine: KB: noes! product too low in plains
Keybounce: Adjacency plus volume!
Sappmerine: ok, i see now XP
Keybounce: Those "zeroes" are "twos"
Keybounce: err, ones are threes
Sgt York: if u went out and caught the wampus - u could have afforded the pack for the aht mule
Sappmerine: mules are crazy!
Sappmerine: darn production..
Keybounce: lovet hat smith
Sappmerine: sell, sell sell
Keybounce: ... wound up on the wrong side of the buy/sell side
Sgt York: nd now u won't have the cash to buy a mule either
Keybounce: Got a spare
Keybounce: And food money
Keybounce: No longer cursed :-)
Sappmerine: Bad ending if this keeps up
Keybounce: ack, I sold my food money
Keybounce: for eneryg
Round 5 of 12
Keybounce: not thinking ... not thinking
Keybounce: cheap :-)
Keybounce: only 7
Sgt York: going to be an earth quake this round
Sgt York: ornot
Keybounce: You got it. I said I wasn't thinking :L-)
Sappmerine: that's inflation
Round 6 of 12
Sgt York: darn those elves
Sgt York: i've told them once, if i've told them a hundred times to clean up after themselves
Keybounce: horrific jerkyness
Sappmerine: my crystalite sense tingled
Keybounce: yummy
Keybounce: Thanks green
Sgt York: was going to do it if u didn't
Keybounce: I couldn't afford it all, and would have hit 50
Sgt York: i started tokeep selling.. u didn't have the money to buy the entire store out - lone less my production also
Sappmerine: sgt
Sgt York: yea?
Sappmerine: just wanted ya to have food
Sappmerine: go down
Sgt York: does better for the colony, if you try to do ur best, ad not just play support tho
Sappmerine: too late
Round 7 of 12
Sappmerine: I'm not just supporting - I lhvae plans
Keybounce: I keep missing my target
Keybounce: unowned
Sgt York: that cost me 2k loss
Sgt York: plus production :(
Sgt York: the curse of 1st
Sgt York: i also screwed up not going ore - given it's about to go up
Keybounce: Ditto.
Sgt York: now would be earth quake time - and i'll probably loose a mule in the quake
Keybounce: Look at that big bank of energy
Sgt York: that is selling for 10/ea - makes no sense
Keybounce: Yer rich
Sgt York: ouch
Sgt York: my satellite got crushed!!! now i'm going to miss my tv shows
Keybounce: If we could hold for a turn ...
Sgt York: sell 4 or 6 each
Sgt York: down to 50
Sgt York: ur going to have spoilage now
Keybounce: Minor
Keybounce: Sell too much and the price goes down
Keybounce: 10 mules in store
Keybounce: That's more than the demand.
Sgt York: they will get used within 2 rounds
Keybounce: Price will drop for a turn. Gotta stop mining to drive thep rice up
Sappmerine: $@%!$
Allosteric: :D
Sappmerine: ????? inflation?
Keybounce: The game only considers the price to go up if a trade actually happens
Sgt York: np
Sgt York: ur loss
Keybounce: If you had sold, then the store would buy at a high price next time
Keybounce: Since you didn't sell, the price is still cheap
Allosteric: Is that so? Hm...
Sgt York: yep
Round 8 of 12
Allosteric: Guess I still have a lot to learn.
Keybounce: 500 plus production
Sgt York: i won't have any plots that go under this round - despite being -5
Sgt York: each number represetnts a plot that needs energy
Sgt York: it includes 1 for the next round
Sgt York: so converting a plot back to energy reduces the need
Sappmerine: where are the #s
Keybounce: We dcould have just relaaease all the hounds this round ...
Keybounce: Cannot type. We could have released the hounds this round, green
Sgt York: during the energy round..
Sappmerine: just checking
Sgt York: i couldn't.. i would have produced 0 - i had to fix my energy issue
Keybounce: Ahh
Keybounce: And I don't have the time to do it all myself
Sgt York: allosteric forced me into it
Keybounce: Still, the production will correct itself
Keybounce: Missed one of my mines
Sgt York: it will help u - ur getting a free run of ore - but u will have to sell it - else spoilage
Sgt York: that helped
Keybounce: Is that max price?
Allosteric: I think so.
Sgt York: yep 230 is max ore
Allosteric: Crap, I gotta pee...
Keybounce: I expected it to tkae two turns to max
Keybounce: not one
Allosteric: Will I always go last in the turn order?
Sgt York: 140 for crist is max
Keybounce: 144, technically
Keybounce: sell
Sgt York: 144.5 technically
Allosteric: I need to know when I can pee.
Keybounce: end of round
Keybounce: don't hit the button
Allosteric: Oh, of course. Thanks.
Sgt York: while he pees, i'm giong to go fix another salad :)
Keybounce: I'll buy 2
Keybounce: energy hog :-)
Sgt York: chit
Keybounce: hold
Sgt York: ur going to have a lot of spoilage
Keybounce: need to pee
Sgt York: i shouldn't have hit space :(
Sgt York: my salad will wait till next round
Sgt York: habit
Keybounce: ready
Keybounce: Land poor this game. More than any other, really
Sgt York: i've seen person will lowest land win many times
Keybounce: Depends on how much the land buyers pay
Sgt York: how well they got into the ore rushes, and got crist bonuses
Keybounce: I'll have 10 plots -- 1 food, 9 crys
Keybounce: Barely makes the volume bonus worth it.
Keybounce: 12 crys is soo nice...
Sgt York: if u can't get to 13 - 1foot + 12.. it really doesn't make any diff
Keybounce: 12 crys, and no food.
Sgt York: yep - i was going for that - is why i paid 1700 for both of those pieces of land
Keybounce: Worked fine until I got to the "we wont' sell you food" people
Allosteric: Uuuugh. I shouldn't have had those dual glasses of water before playing.
Sgt York: oh yea - if u dong get ur food by round 2- u can get locked out of the entire game
Sgt York: round 3 'if' u buy the store out of food - that buys you 1 add'l round
Round 9 of 12
Sgt York: and if u try not to go river at all to get 12
Sappmerine: weak, violet
Keybounce: I went up to buy it
Sgt York: u waited too long - not worth it anyways
Sgt York: if u can't get to 12 - u won't get the production out of it to warrante 2000 loss
Keybounce: But it
Keybounce: buit it's land ... I'll stick my next out for it
Sgt York: IF..u wer bottom 2
Sgt York: u coulda made 12
Keybounce: rofl
Sgt York: buy that one, and then get a plot on next round
Sgt York: as it is - u and i will get locked out - allosteric and sap should get the last 2 plots
Keybounce: Depends on the speed of the space bar. They win ties
Sgt York: all they have to do is hold it down - and it's theirs
Sgt York: oh my -
Sgt York: we missed a smithy run
Sappmerine: NO! the smith..... ; _ ;
Keybounce: No, the cheapness
Keybounce: Should have sold
Sgt York: buy high and sell low eh?
Keybounce: to toher players
Sgt York: if u want high colony score - u have to get as many ore rushes as possible
Sgt York: and u need all 4 people getting into it
Sgt York: not jus tplaying support
Sgt York: it takes at least 3 to do the buy out at times - sometimes all 4
Round 10 of 12
Allosteric: ...what?
Keybounce: speed of the spacebar
Sgt York: all u had dto do is hold ur space bar down - and it was urs
Allosteric: That's... kinda cheap.
Sgt York: not really - the default goes to sap, then u - we shouldn't have gtot those
Keybounce: He even told you in chat last round
Sgt York: u needed to hold ur space bar down
Sgt York: yep
Allosteric: I didn't think you needed to hold it down before the countdown even began.
Sgt York: it's best - if u wan the first plot
Keybounce: I thought it was right after the countdown, before the square appears
Keybounce: cheap
Allosteric: I mean, I was holding it down. But I still didn't get it.
Keybounce: Report it on the bug forum then
Allosteric: Maybe. But I know less about how it works than you guys.
Sgt York: better bonuses - u might take this key
Keybounce: Depends -- I have two empty plots, and no mules on my turn
Sgt York: holy chit
Allosteric: Holy sheeze.
Keybounce: Turn 11 pirates ... warning ...
Sgt York: u went from producing 6 more to almost 30 more
Keybounce: Just a worst thing
Keybounce: A good game I produce 50+.
Allosteric: *sob* I'm getting friggin' trounced.
Keybounce: I missed a 3 spot that I knew about. Still got two of them.
Allosteric: Why wouldn't the store buy it that time?
Keybounce: Price went up
Sgt York: the minimum was rasised
Keybounce: Once the store's buy price goes off, the store will not buy at all
Allosteric: Oh, I see.
Allosteric: Maybe this game's too complicated for me to do well in...
Sgt York: like anything - u jus thave to learn it.. it's not that complicated
Keybounce: Go for the ores, or starve the energy
Round 11 of 12
Keybounce: one empty pliot, not 2
Sgt York: how many plots do u have??
Sgt York: did u make it to 12?
Keybounce: I have 11.
Keybounce: Did not make 12
Keybounce: And the river cannot be mined.
Allosteric: I have 11 too.
Sgt York: i know.. i thought i had dthe x3 down at the bottom... i messed that up
Sgt York: you win on the bonuses
Keybounce: The 3 spot on the top right I knew about, but clicked on the wrong spot.
Keybounce: You didn't release then!
Keybounce: narrrggg
Sgt York: won't matter.. u still got the x9 bonus
Keybounce: true
Sgt York: when i lostm y mule - it knocked me down from 9 to 8... costed me at leat 12 pieces or 1400
Keybounce: 52
Sgt York: and i'm maxed out
Sgt York: u have 1 to add
Keybounce: Heding
Keybounce: Hedging
Sgt York: never pirates on day 12
Sgt York: u win
Keybounce: Even if it's 50?
Sgt York: pirate never come bc the mothership is back
Keybounce: Right, but what if the price is at the bottom?
Sgt York: won't matter.. u still have 30 unites on me
Sgt York: even at 40.. u win
Round 12 of 12
Keybounce: Do we break 100K?
Sgt York: nah
Sgt York: not with ppl playing support - they don't add enough value
Allosteric: I wasn't trying to play support. ;_;
Sgt York: u had an energy to covert purple
Keybounce: not when they dont put enough into crysite :-)
Sgt York: your production is very high - u got it easily
Keybounce: Thanks
Keybounce: Do not sell on turn 12
Keybounce: Do not sell
Sgt York: honestly allosteric forcing me to go energy - which turned into 2 rounds - cost me huge production of ore
Keybounce: niiiiiicee
Sgt York: as it turns otu - cost me the game
Sgt York: gga - nice win key
Keybounce: Thanks
Allosteric: Really? Well, I feel like I accomplished something then. Even though the accomplishment was rooted in ruining someone else.
Sgt York: lol
Keybounce: Tha'ts the spirit
Sgt York: everyone is always against the person in first
Sgt York: and as soon as he is knocked down.. then everyone is after th enew guy in first - just how it is
Sgt York: in life, and in mule - lol
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
Keybounce: yhes!
Keybounce: Wow, almost 120K
Allosteric: Well, I learned some stuff, so it wasn't a waste. Thanks for the game, everyone.
Sgt York: see, less plots - u win and had higher production
Sgt York: even with 1 less plot
Allosteric: Wow. Most valuable colony I've seen yet.
Sgt York: i'm surprised we went that high
Keybounce: Crysite went to max
Keybounce: night all
Sgt York: g'nite
Allosteric: Goodnight, and congrats.
