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

Sappmerine: we all pitch in to make the best colony

Allosteric: Er, you weren't waiting on anybody else, were you?

Sappmerine: nope

Keybounce: Pitch in? ha. Everone for themselves is what I see.

Allosteric: Wait, so how do you guys want to play?

Sappmerine: with vigor?

Round 1 of 12

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.
