Round 1 of 12

Pescado: Prime energy looks NW, SE

Ambular: As usual

Pescado: WAKE UP, AGGIE.

Aggie: I AM

Aggie: I wanted B5.

Elvie: Trixie's gunnin' for your spot, Aggie :P

Aggie: Closer to the shop.

Aggie: ?

Pescado: Better to pick A5 to start...

Pescado: BEcause if food is short in round 2, can get to B5 faster.

Pescado: PRime energy is 3x1 SE, NW corner any.

Pescado: Actually, scratch that.

Pescado: Looks like there's a bloom up there.

Pescado: Just stay SE for now.

Pescado: Maybe prime will be the L next to the river, D3, E3, E4

Pescado: Pirates?

Pescado: Yay!

Elvie: sweet

Elvie: why do pirates come when there's NOTHING TO STEAL?

Pescado: NOthing like a nice turn-1 pirate raid to take all of our no crystite.

Pescado: Because they're dumb?

Pescado: MAybe if we're lucky, they'll do it again.

Pescado: STUPID AGGIE

Pescado: WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

Aggie: I wasn't aware you could OVERSELL food.

Pescado: NEVER SELL THE LAST FOOD.

Pescado: You can.

Aggie: Now I know.

Pescado: But it will reset you once you hit zero.

Pescado: DO NOT SELL THE LAST UNIT.

Pescado: NOw you will be unable to plant.

Pescado: LEt's hope the store doesn't burn.

Round 2 of 12

Aggie: Why can't I plant?

Pescado: No time.

Pescado: Because you sold ALL of it, even the last unit.

Pescado: So all you can do is pubdive.

Pescado: You can manage to plant one mule on one food if you are fast.

Pescado: But not on zero.

Pescado: So all you can hope for now is the aid package...which didn't come.

Pescado: YOU SUCK.

Aggie: TELL ME THESE THINGS BEFORE I DO THEM!

Pescado: I DID

Pescado: I told you NO.

Pescado: Uh?

Elvie: lol

Ambular: Navigation fail

Pescado: SPACE

Pescado: Mine first.

Aggie: I guess we all starve now.

Pescado: DOWN

Pescado: MOVE

Round 3 of 12

Pescado: Ambular to E7?

Pescado: WTF are you going?

Elvie: ol

Pescado: Next Ambularland should be E4

Pescado: Or E3

Ambular: What? I had extra time, firgured I'd check the area

Ambular: k

Pescado: Heh, was hoping it'd be pirates again.

Pescado: There is enough if no one greeds.

Pescado: Go back down, Ambular.

Elvie: good

Pescado: DOn't hang around in the way.

Pescado: DOWN

Round 4 of 12

Pescado: Aggie: Free two mules.

Pescado: Or not.

Aggie: Sorry.

Aggie: I can next turn if you want.

Pescado: No, next tur conditions will be different.

Pescado: So now this turn we need to do a controlled sell.

Pescado: Elvie, sell 3.

Pescado: ONLY 3. No more, no less.

Elvie: I can do it!

Elvie: I didn't fail!

Aggie: yay!

Round 5 of 12

Pescado: E4 this time, Ambular.

Pescado: Oh, right, I need to start instructing Aggie.

Pescado: Aggie: Plant energy on that one, sell to Ambular.

Aggie: Okay.

Pescado: Your next claimplot should be A3 or B4 if you miss.

Pescado: Plan accordingly.

Pescado: Ambular: Same as Aggie, whichever one Aggie misses, you hit.

Ambular: A3 or B4?

Pescado: Yes

Pescado: Since we now have a full energy grid once you pick up that one.

Elvie: dammit

Pescado: Grr.

Ambular: Yay sparklies

Pescado: SELLTIME

Aggie: Don't forget to buy mah land, Amber.

Pescado: Elvie, empty the store, too.

Pescado: Ambular, up

Pescado: Let Elvie empty the store.

Round 6 of 12

Pescado: Fit cogs and sell.

Ambular: Me?

Aggie: Go ahead and buy, Amber.

Aggie: Good girl. *offers cheese*

Ambular: :D

Pescado: Next turn land targets...

Pescado: A4, A6

Pescado: Buyback next turn.

Pescado: FOod/energy UP to fund for BUYBACK.

Pescado: Ambular first at cheap.

Pescado: THen move up to about 300-unit.

Pescado: Energy to about 200.

Pescado: STart moving ,Aggie

Pescado: Move up, Ambular.

Pescado: Too much laggardliness.

Pescado: Fortunately, we should have enough money anyway.

Round 7 of 12

Pescado: Aggie: Fit a cog.

Pescado: Elvie, you decide what you want Ambular fitting.

Pescado: Otherwise, probably also cog.

Elvie: probably crystals at this point

Pescado: Make your decsion, Ambular is proably confuzzled.

Elvie: Crystite, Amber.

Pescado: Elvie: You should probably move your crystal to the REAR, even if you have to move the smithore while doing it.

Ambular: k

Elvie: hmm

Pescado: You've probably noticed how i tend to build crystal from the back? Because you don't have to refit it later.

Elvie: I can't move the one next to the store.

Pescado: Ah, it's nice not being first for once. :P

Ambular: Mad Mule!!

Elvie: hoors

Pescado: Aggie, DOWN,.

Pescado: AMBULAR DOWN

Pescado: Great, you screwed buyback.

Pescado: NICE GOING.

Pescado: I TOLD YOU IT WAS BUYBACK.

Pescado: Elvie, no.

Pescado: It will just spoil, abort.

Pescado: Buyback will have to wait a turn.

Pescado: Aggie, why do you never LISTEN?

Aggie: Pardon?

Pescado: WHen I say BUYBACK, it means YOU ARE A BUYER.

Pescado: Also, WHEN YOU ARE NOT A SELLER, you are ALWAYS A BUYER.

Pescado: THat is the RULE.

Pescado: THere are NO EXCEPTIONS to the "if you are not a seller, you are a buyer" rule.

Pescado: THAT APPLIES TO YOU ALSO, AMBULAR.

Pescado: I NEVER WANT TO SEE SOMEONE ON THE SELL LINE AND NOT SELLING.

Pescado: GET IT?

Ambular: I didn;t realize I had any smithore to sell...

Pescado: DOWN

Pescado: Bleh, back to first again.

Round 8 of 12

Elvie: hah hah

Ambular: Pes does not want to be first?

Pescado: No, it's cursed, remember? :P

Pescado: Fit crystal.

Aggie: Me?

Pescado: Yes

Pescado: aN REMEMBER.

Aggie: Will do. *salutes*

Pescado: SMITHORE BUYBACK NEXT TURN.

Pescado: I will have overstock AND we have to empty the store.

Pescado: DON'T SCREW THIS UP.

Pescado: Even though this screwup probably will cost us the record alreay.

Aggie: *cries Pescado a river*

Pescado: *smacks Aggie*

Elvie: TRIXIE would never mouth off like that :P

Aggie: Then you need to unban him. :p

Pescado: Next turn, land claims right side, somewhere.

Pescado: Ooh, right in the splanch.

Elvie: convenient

Aggie: It wasn't Amber this time!

Ambular: Hey, it hit an empty plot that's not mine :p

Pescado: REmember, CLEAR OVERSTOCK this time.

Pescado: MOVE

Pescado: Next turn, FREE THE MULES, anyone you can't use, should be free.

Round 9 of 12

Pescado: Stupid lag.

Ambular: Damn

Aggie: I assume you'll want crystal in the plot, Pescado?

Aggie: Or Elvie?

Pescado: FREEDOM!

Pescado: AMbular: Free all but one.

Elvie: oh the humanity

Aggie: Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Pescado: 'k, that's the last one.

Pescado: Freeing the mules is funny.

Aggie is not responding to continue

Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game

Elvie: *kicks*

Pescado: 'k, no land grant helps in the next turn needed.

Pescado: ONly two plots left.

Pescado: And MASS FIRESALE TIME!

Aggie: *salutes*

Elvie: I never get tired of that sound.

Aggie: 1 Up!

Ambular: I want to plant soem crystite of my own next time. :p

Aggie: :)

Pescado: You want to become a miner?

Pescado: It's tricky to do and requires you be very fast.

Pescado: Whereas energy is safe and easy for a plodder like you.

Elvie: amber won't ALWAYS be a noob

Ambular: Well, sooner or later I'd like to do something a little challenging. :p

Pescado: You notice how when I mine, I run around furiously and am always with a plan?

Pescado: Energy is way easy because you plant one product, you have no needs other than some food occasionally..

Pescado: ANd usually nothing really horrible happens to you.

Pescado: As a miner, you have to manage everything.

Ambular: I can;t just start planting crystite after I have enough energy?

Pescado: That won't jack our score.

Round 10 of 12

Pescado: We're doing score attack here.

Pescado: And here's the fun of being first again.

Aggie: Do you want my crystite plot, Pescado?

Pescado: THat's for Elvies.

Elvie: YEAH

Elvie: stupid aggie :P

Pescado: notice how Elvie hesitates too much?

Pescado: And doesn't do far-first-moves.

Elvie: mining was easier when we had quadrants

Pescado: THey still basically exist, only your quadrant is now nearly a full half.

Elvie: this'll take us till sunrise

Aggie: *feeds the cat*

Pescado: Nah, we're down to teh last few rounds.

Pescado: NO

Pescado: FOOD IS NEXT

Pescado: DO not run off!

Aggie: lol

Pescado: You can take a break during the ranking lineup.

Pescado: NOT during auctions.

Pescado: In round 11, we want to pump up food and energy sky high.

Pescado: SO that they will value highly in the final score.

Pescado: FOod/energy will retain 25% of the previous round's price in round 12.

Pescado: SO if we pump it to 500 apiece...

Pescado: It will be worth $125 each in the final score, better than crystite.

Pescado: Same story with energy.

Pescado: Harder to do with round 11 energy than food, though.

Pescado: Since all you need to do for food is sell a single unit.

Ambular: Well, y'all drive the price up a while and then I'll come downt o sell.

Round 11 of 12

Pescado: With energy, we still need to USE it on round 11.

Pescado: With food, we don't, so we can pump it to ridiculous levels.

Pescado: And only exchange one unit to fix the price.

Ambular: Should I sell a little, then run it way up then?

Pescado: Worth a shot.

Elvie: BOOOO

Pescado: Haha, fire.

Pescado: TOo late, though.

Pescado: Okay, food round is special.

Aggie: How so?

Pescado: Nobody actually bother buying it, since last round, no one really moves anyway...

Aggie: :(

Pescado: But I will run up the price as far as I can in the time we have, then Aggie sells me one unit to fix the price.

Aggie: :)

Pescado: Then food will be worth crazy in the final round.

Aggie: How high is high?

Ambular: Y'all buy just the energy you need and then I'll push the price up

Pescado: As high as I can pump it before time runs out.

Pescado: Basically I run against the ceiling until the fast ticking starts, then you run down and sell me a single unit.

Pescado: Everyone just stay put.

Pescado: It's ceilng run time.

Aggie: Worked?

Pescado: Looks like it.

Pescado: Food will be over $200 a unit for sure next turn, I think.

Ambular: k guys, buy quick

Aggie: /me settles down

Pescado: AMBULAR!

Pescado: You didn't down!

Aggie: You missed it. :(

Round 12 of 12

Pescado: Yeah, I think we can break record.

Aggie: Record being...?

Pescado: 163K

Ambular: Argh

Pescado: Plant fast!

Elvie: doubtful i'd have made it

Pescado: Heh

Pescado: Free bonus.

Pescado: Let's hope crystite stays good.

Pescado: Hmm, nabad.

Pescado: Yeah, I think we definitely break record.

Elvie: if i hadn't starved i could have planted that last crystal

Pescado: If you had been FASTER, you could have, too.

Pescado: You had plenty of time.

Pescado: If you were FAST.

Pescado: But, alas, you are Elvie.

Elvie: I can get faster.

Pescado: Let's see how high the food price stuck.

Pescado: And we can try another pumping round.

Pescado: DOWN

Pescado: Bleh

Aggie: Too late

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Pescado: Woo! 177K!

Aggie: :D

Ambular: Does it matter in the last round?

Pescado: NEW RECORD

Elvie: YEA

Ambular: Yay

Pescado: Yes: If you go down, with the store empty, we don't have to sit through the auction at all.

Pescado: IT will just die immediately with "no sellers".
