twopiearr: lag that bad?

BDIV: yes

cyounghusband: my ping is rough, don't really know why

twopiearr: looks like green isn't much better off

twopiearr: could be because i have a cable modem

BDIV: lol

twopiearr: when we get to next development i'll shut some services down

twopiearr: see if that improves anything

BDIV: ok

cyounghusband: i don't mind working with a handicap; gives me an excuse if I lose :)

BDIV: lol

BDIV: bummer

twopiearr: that happens every game i play

twopiearr: i think i'm cursed

BDIV: 2nd one tonight for me

BDIV: in a row in fact

Round 2 of 12

BDIV: lol

BDIV: fun to watch

twopiearr: okay, i may have had a torrent going in the background

twopiearr: not that i would do something like that

twopiearr: but if i was, it isn't anymore

twopiearr: so tell me if that helps the lag

BDIV: lol

cyounghusband: that would definitely help

cyounghusband: i'm hitting less than 200 now sometimes

BDIV: we will find out during produce

twopiearr: mail and browser shut down too

twopiearr: this should now have all bandwidth

BDIV: seems much smoother

BDIV: we will see for sure during claim

Round 3 of 12

BDIV: seems better

twopiearr: awesome

BDIV: ty two

twopiearr: have to remember that makes a difference

cyounghusband: yeah, torrents are bad

twopiearr: ...not that any of us would know of course

BDIV: lol

BDIV: no not at all

BDIV: never use torrent... *rolls eyes*

BDIV: there is no crystite on the left side

twopiearr: d'oh!

BDIV: could be worse

twopiearr: yeah that one's killer late game

BDIV: wow what is with the rain

twopiearr: ...yeah energy helps huh

Round 4 of 12

BDIV: why does no ony believe me when i say there is no crys on the left of the river?

twopiearr: GAAAH

BDIV: it happens

twopiearr: ...because that's what we think you WANT us to think?

BDIV: even to the best of us

BDIV: just trying to be helpful

BDIV: you guys have scanned the extremes and turned up nothing

Round 5 of 12

BDIV: do you guys believe me yet?

cyounghusband: believe what?

cyounghusband: that was a lucky grab to pick the crystite high plot on the first plot grab

Round 6 of 12

M.U.L.E.: lucky is my middle name

cyounghusband: that's the L in mule?

twopiearr: except in terms of the market ;)

BDIV: oh look pirates ;)

BDIV: lol

cyounghusband: have they come yet?

twopiearr: not yet...

BDIV: no

BDIV: last game they came twice

BDIV: god sounds like a bad sex joke

twopiearr: they can come up to 3 times right?

BDIV: yes

Round 7 of 12

cyounghusband: no, twice

cyounghusband: same thing with fires, we are done with fires now

BDIV: there you are mule

BDIV: lol

Round 8 of 12

BDIV: dang

BDIV: lol

twopiearr: and this is how we learn interesting new strategies...

BDIV: glad i can assist you

BDIV: it is called a smithore run

BDIV: you but out the store

BDIV: *buy

BDIV: thereby driving demand CONSIDERABLY higher along with price

BDIV: the downside is that crys and smith spoil beyond 50

BDIV: ALL of it spoils beyond 50

BDIV: so sacrifices are some times necessary

BDIV: any questions?

twopiearr: probably

twopiearr: but i won't figure them till later ;)

BDIV: fire away

BDIV: ok

Round 9 of 12

cyounghusband: that's just mean

cyounghusband: they will get used anyway...

BDIV: this tactic is pretty pointless for the well prepared mogul

BDIV: ;)

BDIV: but nonetheless annoying at most

BDIV: i wouldn't have got a mule as it were

cyounghusband: yeah

BDIV: no more wampus

twopiearr: right, all mountains now occupied

BDIV: right

BDIV: someone else want that spot?

twopiearr: *raises hand*

BDIV: two

BDIV: action please

twopiearr: sorry

twopiearr: wife on phone

twopiearr: missed

BDIV: lol it's ok

M.U.L.E.: opps

twopiearr: hey i'm still losing ;)

Round 10 of 12

cyounghusband: hate that...losing when I'm ahead on my local screen and from my perspective was bidding more. I really wish they would change that...they could do it in programming

twopiearr: it's the open source foundation i think

twopiearr: optimaized for compatiaiblity rather than performance

cyounghusband: nah, they could just have the clients report the final bid price instead of using the last update when the host's timeline ended

BDIV: ???

BDIV: lol

BDIV: almost had him

twopiearr: nah

twopiearr: he just wanted to keep young poor

cyounghusband: you got gready

Round 11 of 12

twopiearr: i seriously doubt he would have bought from me at any price

cyounghusband: i would have

cyounghusband: not at a $1000 though...

cyounghusband: shit

cyounghusband: that wins it for BDIV

twopiearr: yup

BDIV: depends on last round

cyounghusband: two quakes in a row

twopiearr: though mule's 56 cristyite is huge here

twopiearr: so who knows

BDIV: :)

twopiearr: ...nope, you called it

BDIV: anyones game

M.U.L.E.: not enough

twopiearr: lot of starvation in this colony

BDIV: dieting

twopiearr: and here's karma kicking my ass

Round 12 of 12

BDIV: karma?

twopiearr: after my energy misering last turn, i'm the only one short this turn

BDIV: as i said... final round is big... if the price is low i have a chance

BDIV: oh ok

twopiearr: AUNT TILLY TO THE RESCUE!

M.U.L.E.: gg

BDIV: gg all

twopiearr: ...if those two were crystite they'd have procuced 3 each huh

BDIV: was a rough start

twopiearr: this is how we learn

BDIV: at most

BDIV: then include economies of scale

BDIV: well i think mule won

M.U.L.E.: i hope

BDIV: don't bother selling

twopiearr: don't have to sell last round?

M.U.L.E.: i'm not sure if i ever won against you 2

cyounghusband: yeah, he is ahead of me already so I can't catch, even with this good price

twopiearr: this is like my second game ever

twopiearr: well at least since the 80s

BDIV: no... the asset value of what you are holding in goods IS the price of what the store will buy at

M.U.L.E.: ...

cyounghusband: ?

twopiearr: sprry

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

twopiearr: slow on the uptake
