Tapola: i really intended to :D
turssi: :)

Tapola: i think you can take that back turssi :D
turssi: :)
Round 5 of 12

Giftzwerg: never shouild have married the bitch
Giftzwerg: Kinda of a colony satrangling statagy going here hyper inflation of ore and mules and lots of undeveolped land
Tapola: aww
GambitTime: part of that is because there were a lot of land auctions so early
Tapola: nOOOO!
Tapola: err, can i rebuild on that plot the meteor struck?
turssi: yep
GambitTime: yes
Round 6 of 12
turssi: you can make a profit buying land for 2000
GambitTime: although turssi is corect, 2000 is still a lot to pay for an auction... it depends on the plot
turssi: yeah if you can get eos bonus
turssi: or learning curve bonus
turssi: or it has mountains or crystite
GambitTime: yeah, also depends on the round
GambitTime: U need enough rounds to make up for the cost
