Pescado: DOWN
Round 3 of 12
Pescado: Elvie, Vtardrancher: Deploy only one mule.
Elvie: sure thing
Pescado: There are not enough mules for you to deploy two and we need to make it to first smith.
Pescado: Because VTARDRANCHER killed a mule early.
Pescado: Deploy ONE BOLT ONLY.
Vtardrancher: like so
Vtardrancher: what do you get for checking for crisite?
Pescado: DO NOT IMITATE.
Pescado: DOWN
Pescado: No gouging this early.
Pescado: Dude, don't sell to the store. :P
Elvie: Oh, I thought it was Kewian buying...
Pescado: Elvie first.
Kewian: dammit
Round 4 of 12
Pescado: Switch your flats to energy and you will be fine.
Pescado: You FAIL, VTARDRANCHER.
Vtardrancher: damn
Pescado: There are only 4 mules.
Pescado: PLANT ONLY ONE MULE.
Pescado: You may as well tag your errant plot for sale, VTARDRANCHER.
Round 5 of 12
Pescado: Why are you people staring like idiots instead of fooding?
Vtardrancher: sorry
Pescado: VTARDRANCHER.
Pescado: WTF are you trying to do?
Kewian: NO
Vtardrancher: I went down too soon
Pescado: DO NOT DO THAT.
Pescado: DOn't even TRY to go down until the Bell. IT IS NOT A RACE.
Vtardrancher: I will be more careful next time
Round 6 of 12
Pescado: WHy did you not PLANT it?
Pescado: Instead of standing there running around waiting for it to time out?
Vtardrancher: When i got there i was out of time
Pescado: No, you were deep into the square.
Pescado: You could have planted at any tie.
Vtardrancher: So i can plan thte instant i get into the square?
Pescado: YEs
Pescado: ANd this time, DO NOT BREAK ENERGY.
Vtardrancher: What does that mean?
Vtardrancher: oh
Pescado: DO NOT TRY TO RACE FOR THE BUTTOn.
Pescado: IT IS NOT A RACE.
Round 7 of 12
Pescado: it takes 6 touching plots to power the entire colony...
Pescado: SO once you have 6 energies touching another energy, you can do whatever you want with the rest.
Pescado: We have enough powers, Elvie.
Vtardrancher: So i can grow food the next time?
Elvie: we don't need food
Vtardrancher: what do we need?
Pescado: Nothing. That means you can mine.
Pescado: Ow, your splanch.
Elvie: whoo
Vtardrancher: how do I mine?
Pescado: Refit a mule as cog or crystal.
Pescado: And plant it.
Elvie: is my mule under the boulder?
Pescado: SELLATHON!
Pescado: Your mule is flat now.
Pescado: He's dead, Jim.
Elvie: okay
Pescado: That's why it's "Ow, my splanch".
Elvie: swell
Pescado: WE might even make it to third Smithore.
Pescado: Down, Elvie.
Pescado: Vtardrancher is broke.
Elvie: oh, didn't notice, sory
Pescado: Plus you can go into mining.
Pescado: It's your fault you broke energy, you know, Vtardrancher.
Pescado: And now you're selling to the STORE, making sure it STAYS broken.
Vtardrancher: Yes
Vtardrancher: I did not know selling to the store would make it broken
Vtardrancher: I see you doing that a lot and thought it was a thing to do
Pescado: Causing an energy shortfall in ONE round will cause everyone to have to convert to energy because nothing else can produce.
Round 8 of 12
Pescado: Yes, but I'm a MINER.
Pescado: MINE products are sold to the store at the right times.
Vtardrancher: ah
Vtardrancher: now I can plant a cog or a thing that is not food or energy, right?
Pescado: Right.
Pescado: And even move your energies...
Pescado: So that they remain touching.
Pescado: But always have 6 energies, that are touching another energy.
Pescado: THey don't have to be a giant monolith blob, but things work best when they are touching another one.
Pescado: THe Buddy System.
Vtardrancher: they are all touching, right now, though
Pescado: Yes.
Pescado: So when you move one, make sure he still has a buddy.
Pescado: For instance, moving flatland north to flatland south.
Pescado: So that he still has a buddy.
Pescado: Cogs work best when placed on a mountain.
Pescado: Not so great when not placed on any mountains.
Pescado: Push space.
Vtardrancher: how about crystals, then?
Pescado: Crystals work the same way.
Pescado: All mules like to have a buddy.
Pescado: Each mule that has a buddy produces an extra unit.
Pescado: Also, for each 3 mules you have of a type...
Pescado: Each mule of that type also produces an extra unit.
Pescado: Which is why 6 energy plots by one person with buddies is critical.
Pescado: Removing even one will crash the energy grid.
Round 9 of 12
Pescado: Kewhale should repurpose her energy grid into mines, really.
Pescado: Same with Elvies.
Elvie: Hm. It's not too soon?
Pescado: See, that deployment could be better.
Pescado: because one energy has no buddy.
Pescado: You don't need an energy grid, we have way too much energy already.
Pescado: SMITHORE BUYBACK TIME.
Pescado: THIRD SMITH!
Pescado: Vtardrancher, you should keep yours, not sell it.
Pescado: Unless Kewhale offers you like $250 for it.
Kewian: DAMN
Pescado: YOu've got 30 and active mines already.
Pescado: You have enough. :P
Kewian: so do you
Pescado: I only have crystite mines.
Pescado: You have smith mines.
Pescado: You'll probably hit over 50 before the price gets superhigh.
Elvie: Glad I didn't wait this time.
Pescado: Then Elvie can buy up your slack.
Pescado: SEe how energy is massively overproduced at the moment?
Pescado: Everyone else can stop.
Pescado: ANd just hoard up off of Vtardrancher.s
Pescado: DOWN
Round 10 of 12
Pescado: SHould have put the mine on the big mountain and rotated flatmine north with the energy.
Vtardrancher: I was afraid I wouldn't have enough time
Pescado: Also, Elvie: Avoid walking through mountains.
Pescado: They slow you down.
Pescado: Kewhale: Sack your energy grid for mines.
Elvie: how do you walk diag?
Pescado: Uh...
Vtardrancher: I press 2 buttons at the same time.
Pescado: Same way you do so in every other game in existence?
Vtardrancher: down & right or left, or up & right or left
Pescado: are you really that much of a noob?
Elvie: I guess so :P
Elvie: get him!
Pescado: STupid wumpus.
Kewian: of course.
Round 11 of 12
Pescado: At this poit, Vtardrancher can dismantle her entire energy grid for mines if she wants.
Pescado: There is a shitload of surplus.
Elvie: if she moves
Pescado: Or, she can stare blankly into space until she times out.
Elvie: run forrest
Elvie: nice
Pescado: Don't forget to refit the last smith.
Pescado: BE FREE!
Pescado: OW, YOUR SPLANCH.
Pescado: THis is likely to be the best colony evar.
Elvie: awesome
Pescado: although the whale probably should have sold the 15 smithore to Vtardrancher or Elvie rather than eltting it spoil...
Pescado: But, you know, Whale.
Pescado: At this point, with round 12, any surplus energy or food is worthless..
Pescado: So anything you get extra, you can dump to the store.
Pescado: OTehrwise it will spoil anyway.
Round 12 of 12
Pescado: Sack the energy collectors for MINES.
Pescado: Move crystite to the shiny mine.
Pescado: THe one that hit your splanch.
Pescado: HIT SPACE
Pescado: VTARDRANCHER
Pescado: SELLATHON!
Pescado: No point worrying about final sell of food/energy, because it won't get much and it's already in your score.
Pescado: Your number will not get prettily huge from it.
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
Elvie: woot
Kewian left the game
Vtardrancher: LUXURY
