Round 1 of 12

YemonYime: Gotta press the button to catch the Wumpus, right?

BDIV: yes

BDIV: press action button

BDIV: it will skip to end of production phase

YemonYime: Gotcha.

BDIV: you could have sold at a higher price ;)

YemonYime: K, what's your normal protocol during games. Always sell highest?

YemonYime: Or help the colony?

BDIV: focus on your needs first

Round 2 of 12

BDIV: colony balance is necessary but you shouldn't aid those that are beating you

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: lol ;)

BDIV: colony balance is only good for the first couple rounds

YemonYime: Makes sense, heh. Otherwise why the ratings, right?

YemonYime: Gotta beat 'em.

BDIV: but ultimately, you are against each other... if the leaders have no energy but many factories that need energy... i say laugh loudly and give them the finger while sitting on your stash of energy

Asphodel: uh huh!

YemonYime: What if my race doesn't have a finger? :)

Asphodel: exactly what I did last game with food and won in the end

BDIV: you will figure out quickly that the game and other players operate like this

BDIV: then use a suitable substitute

BDIV: supply and demand weighs heavily in this game

YemonYime: Heh.

BDIV: example: price of smithore rises as mules are fewer and the store has no smithore to make mules

BDIV: if someone is at the top rung it doesn't matter... you can make them go higher if they really need the staple good

BDIV: go higher in price i mean

YemonYime: Heh, I got the finger right there! Hah, good move Who.

Round 3 of 12

BDIV: relax... you are learning and i will steer you straight

BDIV: all yours :)

YemonYime: Too much.

BDIV: nm

BDIV: at this early stage that was worth it

YemonYime: I read somewhere the average worth is about 500, though right?

BDIV: you could produce alot from that one plot to make up for the cost

YemonYime: Ah.

BDIV: that is only ASSET value

BDIV: that doesn't include what you COULD produce from it

Asphodel: see, I THOUGHT there was high crystitye there. I wanted that spot

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: me too!!!! lol

Asphodel: haha

BDIV: i left one for you yemon

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: but i think i got one beside your farm ;)

Asphodel: unless it's above

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: true.....

Asphodel: but I WAS going for that spot when you took it

BDIV: good job

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: i was in last, lucky me

YemonYime: Hah, I forgot all about that trick of buying the mules, letting them go to raise the smithore price.

BDIV: and piss off the higher ups

YemonYime: It's been years since I played, so I'm slowly recalling.

BDIV: mp wprroes

Asphodel: how DO you let the mule's go?

BDIV: no worries

BDIV: action button on land that isn't yours

BDIV: heck i'll wait till it jumps to 230

BDIV: ty who

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: no problem :) (I've called in the pirates)

BDIV: who wants food

Asphodel: why wasn't at 230 then? there were no mules, no smithsore

BDIV: not sure

BDIV: sometimes doing what i did causes the computer to do that

Round 4 of 12

BDIV: unless someone is playing with the makeup of the game

BDIV: buy it

BDIV: temon?

YemonYime: Heh.

BDIV: don't hesitate

BDIV: you will learn to not flinch

BDIV: this one is yours at any price

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: there, you get 1 too

YemonYime: Worked out.

Asphodel: woot

BDIV: lol that worked out :)

BDIV: where did the mule come from?

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: i got no food, so no need for $$ right now :(

BDIV: oh wait... two were sold to the store

BDIV: gamble

BDIV: oh crap... if they are getting good news i must be getting bad

YemonYime: Yeah, no choice without mules and food.

BDIV: cool

YemonYime: Damn Kazingas.

BDIV: alright... think you got the hang of this Yemon?

YemonYime: Yeah, just watching some of your intricacies.

BDIV: there goes the price

Asphodel: odd..

BDIV: VERY

BDIV: lag is up there too

Asphodel: I blame you BD! your fault!!!

BDIV: ok

Asphodel: :)

BDIV: he is only selling two

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: that hurts

BDIV: that's life

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: lol

Round 5 of 12

YemonYime: Dang.

BDIV: going to need booze because i have no food

YemonYime: K, so lack of food decreases your time, right?

BDIV: yes

BDIV: one energy is needed per active mule

BDIV: :)

Round 6 of 12

BDIV: stupid lag

Round 9 of 12

YemonYime: :0

YemonYime: By the way, I appreciate the help guys. I needed to see others play live to get familiar with the way you can thwart each other.

BDIV: gald to help and there are MULTIPLE ways to do it

YemonYime: Yeah, it seems the AI stocks up on Smithore, but I see how you can really drive the price up.

Asphodel: NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo

BDIV: if you find a strategy that works well for you... i highly reccommend you stay with it... don't let others tell you what to do

BDIV: also... know when NOT to be first

Asphodel: :p

BDIV: oops... someone pushed down to fast

YemonYime: lag

BDIV: it happens

YemonYime: Yeah~

BDIV: patience will come with experience

BDIV: give it time and you will clean the floor with people soon enough

YemonYime: Toughest thing I'm experiencing is typing text while playing.

BDIV: LOL

BDIV: it is a chore

BDIV: where is everybody from?

Asphodel: PA

YemonYime: Pittsburgh.

Asphodel: hey same here!

Round 10 of 12

YemonYime: Played this on C64 20 years ago. Hard to remember those sneaky moves.

Who is Your M.U.L.E.: i hear ya, my folks just shipped my old 64 outta my closet, opened it up and found mule again

BDIV: i played mule on 64 and atari

BDIV: both were good

Asphodel: this is my first time playing

YemonYime: Guess ya gotta sell when there's no shortage, huh?

BDIV: yes

BDIV: the price will only go down

BDIV: final scores for commodities are equal to only what the store will pay for them at that time

YemonYime: Ah, OK, that's for that reminder.

BDIV: yw

Round 11 of 12

Asphodel: gah, didn't know what I was doin there

BDIV: it happens

YemonYime: Duh, didn't need to buy a mule.

BDIV: you could have sold it back

BDIV: oh boy

YemonYime: Hah!~

BDIV: >:)

BDIV: and the grinch got an awful EVIL idea

Asphodel: -.-

Asphodel: gonna take a risk with pirates

BDIV: there is only one event on round 12

Asphodel: ah

BDIV: it's always safe

Asphodel: ok

YemonYime: Hrmmmm. I mighta found my niche.

BDIV: lol

BDIV: good job

Asphodel: I'ma cry

BDIV: why?

YemonYime: Well, I'll be curious to see how that pans out.

YemonYime: Heh, like it's gonna help me at -11

BDIV: it makes a difference

Round 12 of 12

YemonYime: Hee!

BDIV: go to the pub

YemonYime: BD, what's the max the store will pay for each? 230 for Smithore I think...

BDIV: yes

BDIV: max for smith is 230

YemonYime: How about food, energy, crystite?

YemonYime: After...

BDIV: food is 215

BDIV: energy is 205

BDIV: and cry is 148

BDIV: keep in mind cry is NOT affected by what happens on the colony

BDIV: on the last round DO NOT

BDIV: buy or sell anything

YemonYime: Gotcha. I did recall that.

BDIV: goos

BDIV: *good

YemonYime: Thx for the limit info.

BDIV: i may be wrong

BDIV: on those

YemonYime: Close enough I suppose.

BDIV: but those have been the max i have seen on here

BDIV: and they happen rarely

BDIV: in this case energy was a big winner

YemonYime: Yeah.

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

BDIV: i think i got the numbers for food and energy backwards

BDIV: gg all

BDIV: :)
