Rip Hunter: We're all trapped in a snowstorm...
Sniper: Where u at?
Rip Hunter: NJ
Sniper: You guys get a lot of snow this year?
Rip Hunter: More than usual
Rip Hunter: ......global warming.........?
Rip Hunter: lol
Sniper: heh. Al Gore is nowhere to be found.
Rip Hunter: If he were around, I'd make him shovel...
habius: i'm in toronto we got 60% less than last year
habius: my back is thanking me for the decreased driveway shovelling
Rip Hunter: So that's where it came from!!
Rip Hunter: lol
habius: you could be right about that
habius: glad to give it to you
Sniper: I'm getting about the same here in Wisconsin. Shoveling snow sucks!
Rip Hunter: We just set a snowfall record for February....
habius: we did the record thing last year
habius: you guys watching the olympic hockey at all?
Sniper: No. Canada beat russia?
habius: smoked 'em
habius: not that it is any reflection of my own personal hockey playing ability
habius: but I found my chest puffing out just a bit

Round 1 of 12
Mean Jim: crowded neighborhood in them thar hills
Sniper: your turn!
habius: go bud go
Sniper: lol
habius: he doesnt need any help goes believe me
Sniper: I figure that. But seeing anyone just stand there always makes me nervous. :)
habius: i know
Mean Jim: habius - you're making me blush
habius: i did ALMOST beat you once
Sniper: I beat piete twice. Anything can happen.
Mean Jim: yeah, that was a very close game
Mean Jim: Did you beat piete in mule, or in an alley?
Sniper: I beat him in one game, came in dead last against him in the next...but I helped him win that game. :)
Sniper: Piete is cool enough for me not to beat in an alley.
Sniper: but that one guy who starts games and then boots people out who are going to beat him...well, I'd beat that guy in an alley.
Round 2 of 12
Mean Jim: yeah, he did to me - i tried to warn folks on the forum
habius: put him up for adoption
Sniper: Yeah, thanks for doing that. That's how I knew how to stay clear of him. I looked at his game history. You are absolutely correct.
habius: that is low
Mean Jim: Rip - you shitfaced, or just your little dude
habius: obviously he doesn
habius: follow the code
Rip Hunter: You can get energy from there
Rip Hunter: need energy
Rip Hunter: When I get another plot, I'll switch the mule and do food
Mean Jim: i was referring to how your dude was staggering around (at least it looked that way to me)
Rip Hunter: oh
Rip Hunter: LOL
Rip Hunter: That was weird
habius: gert more energy in the river then on the plains
habius: apparently
Round 3 of 12
Mean Jim: what a steal
Sniper: nice
habius: except i got no money now
habius: shit!
Mean Jim: walking much straighter now
Sniper: Yeah. You could have been called Mean Jim Beam earlier. :)
Mean Jim: it's friday - who said I wasn't really shitfaced?
Round 4 of 12
Sniper: a steal
Sniper: lots of early sales! jesus.
habius: man never leave yourself broke
habius: stupid
habius: not worth the plot
habius: in hindsight
Sniper: leveled a 3 mountain plot!
Rip Hunter: That helped/hindered me....
Mean Jim: other way around... hindered then helped
Rip Hunter: in the short run
Round 5 of 12
habius: ahhh
Sniper: Nice. I have the fewest plots now
Sniper: a f'n devestating blow really.
habius: food!!!
habius: f923847n lag
Mean Jim: close, but no cigar - or mule
habius: would have had it easily
habius: lag killed me - barely got one
habius: no lag all game and right at the crucial moment...
habius: thats the only problem with theis wicked game
habius: where is my food?
habius: there
Sniper: when you lose a plot, it is like getting a punch in the stomach.
habius: i know
habius: happened to me two games ago
habius: losing a mule and followed by pests on your only food plot also bad
habius: ?
habius: why rip?
Sniper: shakes head
Round 6 of 12
Rip Hunter: why what?
habius: why sell energy to lead player who is in energy deficit for so cheap AND put youself in energy deficit?
Sniper: Never sell energy to people who are ahead of you. That's standard fare.
Mean Jim: Don't listen to them Rip -what you did was noble and kind
habius: haha
Rip Hunter: I didn't $150 a share was very noble at all....
habius: i dont blame you for buying it jim
habius: i question if $300 a piece would even be worth it
Sniper: $150 so Mean Jim can produce thousands to crush you.
habius: lol
Sniper: No energy production = no food/no goods
Rip Hunter: haw haw haw
Sniper: Are you Obama, sir? because you just gave Mean Jim a bailout. :D
Rip Hunter: Maybe that's why I just did energy........?
Mean Jim: somebody introduce Rip to his space bar
Sniper: space
Sniper: plz
Rip Hunter: I'm sorry.....I thought this game was over 25 years old and that it might take time to readjust
Sniper: quite boring production
Rip Hunter: shut up and take advantage of it.......for now...
Rip Hunter: lol
habius: and game
habius: Jim?
Mean Jim: goddamit - tha't where the lag will fucking kill you
habius: oh man
Sniper: store fire?
habius: that sucks
habius: we might have just got our only chance at catching up
Mean Jim: i'm not likely to recover from that fuck up
habius: no you are still positioned well - smithore is never worth less than 50 anyway
Sniper: u had quite the lead. Now all the sh-tty things are going to happen to me instead of you.
Mean Jim: that's the only consolation - being in first for a bunch of turns is a killer
Mean Jim: well fuck
Sniper: cuz value is still high. lol. u have quite the lead.
Round 7 of 12
Rip Hunter: k
habius: we should all think of lag like an injury - sometimes your pioneer breaks a leg and can't walk
Sniper: tripped over a moose-rat
Mean Jim: wow - that's fucking profound
Sniper: I don't like thinking too much into it as I've told people that I willed a wampus in my neighborhood after playing this game...turns out it was an obese black child.
habius: i need to rationalize it somehow because it makes th game suck so much
Sniper: willed = killed. WTF?
Sniper: need. caffine.
habius: i have the same theory about getting parking tickets, losing shit, etc. - i have a 'fuck up' budget each year of $500. All that shitty stuff is accounted for in the fuck up budget
Sniper: if you have any money left over in the F-up budget, you should gamble it away.
habius: yup
habius: good buy
habius: rip?
Rip Hunter: keep going
habius: now he gets it
habius: damn
Round 8 of 12
Rip Hunter: Thank you, burning bush
Mean Jim: yep - friday and shitfaced is a good place to be
Rip Hunter: good thing...
Sniper: store fire
Sniper: or pests
habius: ahhh
Rip Hunter: happy? ;)
Rip Hunter: not good
Sniper: why the f would you sell?
habius: me?
Rip Hunter: damn
Rip Hunter: because I'm distracted by TV
Sniper: u needed money i understand that.
Rip Hunter: F
habius: exactly
Mean Jim: fuck - what does it take to get out of 1st?
Round 9 of 12
Rip Hunter: slick
Rip Hunter: I like that
Mean Jim: nice work
habius: man lag almost got me
Sniper: lol. figures
Mean Jim: fuck lost two mules
habius: there you go jim and sniper
Sniper: worked to your advantage jim
Sniper: that event has screwed me the most in all games.
Rip Hunter: That was what I was referencing
habius: sniper it helped you big time
Sniper: I produced 9 units instead of 40
habius: the rest of us were trying to produce smithore to cash in and we got screwed
Rip Hunter: Jim, if that move was deliberate, it was brilliant
habius: you already had a juge stockpile
Sniper: the stockpile was nothing..my production would have gained ground on jim...but the planetquake f'd me
Round 10 of 12
Sniper: shit. I didn't mean to hit space. bah. I kind of dislike that advatnage
habius: yeah but it affected you both equally
habius: so its a wash
Sniper: I gained some ground but I'd have the lead w/o quake.
habius: unless he wasn't producing smith i didnt see
Sniper: lost track dammit
Round 11 of 12
Sniper: damn. fail.
habius: space
habius: nice gamble
Round 12 of 12
Sniper: well, I can't wait. I have to go and have to shut down my internet connection. Bye.
Sniper: J/K
habius: ha
Sniper: good game, jim. I think u got it

Rip Hunter: worst game I ever played
Mean Jim: maybe... close game
Rip Hunter: blah

Sniper: gg for all. :)
habius: joking
habius: ty
Rip Hunter: Every game is a good game!
Rip Hunter: ;)
habius: true
Sniper: yep. jim got it.
habius: i wonder if energy can go high price and boost myscore
Sniper: 55 from 9 crystite plots, 46 from my 10.
habius: nope
Mean Jim: yeah, i lucked out with semi-decent crack plots
habius: i had great crack plots but couldnt convert them in time
Sniper: also with some early energy sales.
habius: distance is a huge factor
