GambitTime: that is the downside of buying all that energy turssi

Tapola: i really intended to :D

turssi: :)

turssi: you aint that rich either mr gambit

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
