Mr.Wumpus joined the game in slot 4

channie: yay!

GabrielPope: do you have a screen now?>

Mr.Wumpus: yay

Trub: Space for button

Mr.Wumpus: nope its black

Trub: Try the fullscreen/thing again

channie: the music is pretty close to the original...

Trub: use f5 key

Trub: Updated a bit though.

Mr.Wumpus: odd its fine in a window but not full screen, I think I'm good

Mr.Wumpus: wasd works for move too correct?

Trub: or arrow keys

Mr.Wumpus: left handed....

Round 1

Trub: space to grab land

GabrielPope: just make sure the chat bar isn't open, or none of your keys will do anything

Mr.Wumpus: bummer no sound

Trub: Click sound on up top?

Mr.Wumpus: yup still none

Mr.Wumpus: space bar to drop the mule?

GabrielPope: yes

GabrielPope: or pick it up from a plot

GabrielPope: also you have to use space to catch the wampus here, just running into it doesn't do anything

channie: didn't know that...

channie: dang wampus... not you pink...

GabrielPope: I think the main problem was that the wampus moved

Mr.Wumpus: oh I'm rusty

channie: different auction order...

channie: wow , it's been a long time... :)

GabrielPope: if you've played the originals (and I assume you have, judging by your name), the action speeds seem a lot faster on this version

GabrielPope: so it takes some adjusting

Round 2

GabrielPope: damn you trub

GabrielPope: clearly trub wants the colony to be a failure

GabrielPope: obviously our only recourse is to institute a food boycott

Trub: I just want land parity. :}

Trub: Unless I can get more of it. :}

channie: alls fair in love and mule...

Mr.Wumpus: i smell real expensive mules

Round 3

Trub: Nuts, forgot what I was going to do, dang you steve

Mr.Wumpus: what? well done

GabrielPope: wow, excellent timing

channie: teaching them to tap dance... :)

GabrielPope: no way I could have done all that if I didn't get the tap dance bonus

GabrielPope: I would've had to get the wumpus first and then go back and try to get my mules up in time

Mr.Wumpus: dammit

channie: what's with the plots that look arid..? just looks?

GabrielPope: ah, the perils of the early game lead

Trub: that's gonna hurt

GabrielPope: those are deserts

channie: ah...

GabrielPope: slightly better energy production, no food production

channie: guess i should read the faq... ;)

Trub: Run doggie!

Round 4

Mr.Wumpus: dammit again

Trub: going for slumlord again?

channie: ack.

Mr.Wumpus: yup its early

GabrielPope: heh

Mr.Wumpus: hahahaha I was broke

channie: guess you got a free roof!

GabrielPope: by the way, if you guys didn't know this yet, in this version the wampus can only appear on unclaimed mountains

GabrielPope: so if you claim all the mountains, no more wampus for the rest of the game

GabrielPope: oh, poor trub

Mr.Wumpus: ahhh letting the mosse loose nice work

GabrielPope: whoops, guess he gets his mule anyhow

Mr.Wumpus: err moose...

channie: they should run free....

GabrielPope: phew, no pirates

GabrielPope: whoops

channie: amung the mountains of irata...

Mr.Wumpus: ouch

Trub: Rugged

Round 5

channie: every round?

GabrielPope: just hammer the button even if you don't quite get there in time

GabrielPope: phew

GabrielPope: it saved my good mountain and my farm

Trub: oops, didn't qant THAT much. :P

Round 6

channie: it's alot harder without the joystick...

channie: heh

Round 7

GabrielPope: now no one claim that mountain, or the wampus will go extinct forever

GabrielPope: you have to press spacebar

GabrielPope: just mash that sucker

Mr.Wumpus: ahhh space bar

Mr.Wumpus: i hate selling that low

channie: you didn't have a choice.

GabrielPope: you can always save it

GabrielPope: although pirates are fairly likely

GabrielPope: wumpus does not like money :(

Round 8

channie: uh oh

channie: ok i wont buy it

GabrielPope: crystite doesn't get production bonuses in this version :(

channie: crap

Trub: steve?

GabrielPope: hmm

GabrielPope: there ought to be another high crystite plot somewhere down in that neighborhood

GabrielPope: either on the double mountains, or on green's energy plot by the town

Round 9

Mr.Wumpus: ps wasd does not work reliably even with text closed

Trub: I use arrows

Trub: Stripmine that world...

GabrielPope: we're so going to get pirated :(

channie: you called it

Round 10

GabrielPope: dammit, why did the pirates have to happen right before the energy shortage :(

Trub: Man...

GabrielPope: ffff

GabrielPope: our colony is going to suck now :(

GabrielPope: if pirates happen turn 11 I am going to be very pissed

Round 11

Mr.Wumpus: losing that power plot so early really hurt me

GabrielPope: dammit don't switch off from power :(

Mr.Wumpus: what I didn't produce any food???

GabrielPope: oh god dammit

GabrielPope: $230 for smithore and I had to switch a bunch of them to energy

Trub: You are still way gonna win

GabrielPope: yeah, but the colony isn't going to be as successful

Trub: You have a lot of coin.

Trub: Even in old C64, 60k or better was damned good.

GabrielPope: the highest ranking is something like 80-100k though

GabrielPope: also, this version seems to be more generous with production for non-crystite goods

GabrielPope: holy cow

Round 12

GabrielPope: guess we're doing ok overall anyhow

GabrielPope: hah, nice

Trub: We may be close to high score. What is highest now, 92k or something?

GabrielPope: yeah

GabrielPope: depends on final value of crystite and smithore, I guess

Mr.Wumpus: ahhh good times eventhough I sucked.

GabrielPope: Wooooooooooo

Trub: Wow, that's high score I think

channie: nice

GabrielPope: You did okay, it takes a couple games to adjust to the differences in this vs. the original

Trub: The radiation didn't help

Mr.Wumpus: g-night all

channie: ciao

GabrielPope: late game pirates when everyone was going full crystite/smithore, then an energy shortage with acid rain...

Trub: Night, though my daughter is going to take over and play training.

Mr.Wumpus: 'll be back tomorrow same bate time
