Mean Jim: 1st game i've ever played without producing a single unit of smithore
BDIV: lol
BDIV: you did very well by it
BDIV: would have been better if i wasn't teaching someone :)
Mean Jim: assay on last round is like closing the barn door after the horse got out
worldtraveler: nice
BDIV: more like closing the barn door after the horses were sent to the glue factory
BDIV: on the last round ace
Mean Jim: you're right - that's a better analogy
BDIV: do not buy or sell anything
Acenoid: why?
Mean Jim: you guys made 18 bucks per unit there!
BDIV: lol
Acenoid: i lost a lot
Acenoid: i bought for 85
BDIV: you are in good company
Acenoid: why is it good not to sell? buy i can understand = no next round
BDIV: no point
BDIV: speeds up the scoring
Mean Jim: doesn't effect the final score in any way
BDIV: the only score you will get per unit will be what the store is willing to pay for it
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
