kipley: ...and then, this happens

wateshadon: :(

wateshadon: what sense has this space for spectators?

kipley: It doesn't make much sense that the specators have to press space, but that's the system we've got

agybaszaras: heck, I didn't even know sectating was allowed

agybaszaras: spectating*

agybaszaras: good luck everyone

wateshadon: here you go :)

kipley: wateshadon, you able to see what's going on in our game? Just curious.

kevin22: you too!

Round 1 of 12

wateshadon: kipley: yes

wateshadon: now is land grand

kipley: Cool. You're officially my first Mule "groupie"! LOL

wateshadon: is it possible to win without smithore speculation?

agybaszaras: if you focus on crystite (and get lucky with prices)

agybaszaras: its possible

kipley: While anything is possible, in most games the winner takes advantage of at least one smithore price spike.

wateshadon: i dont like that

wateshadon: it means that resources is not equal, not balanced

kipley: Different resources are worth more at different times in the games, in response to what's happening. If it were all equal, it'd be a pretty boring game.

M.U.L.E.: exactly

kipley: And I've won games without producing any smithore myself. But still taking advantage of it by buying low and selling high.

Round 2 of 12

wateshadon: why he didnt catch that wampus?

kipley: uh oh

kipley: there we go

kipley: anybody got a high ping?

agybaszaras: 109 here

wateshadon: 187

kevin22: how do you catch him?

M.U.L.E.: 281

agybaszaras: hit spacebar on top of him

kevin22: thanks

kipley: It's easy to be a pixel or two off, so if you don't get him, wiggle around a bit when pressing the spacebar.

kipley: He doesn't need to be visible to be caught.

Round 3 of 12

kipley: ouch

kipley: hate that event

agybaszaras: he didn't really want that one anyways ;)

kipley: Oh, well all for the best, then!

wateshadon: its because of his nick

Round 4 of 12

agybaszaras: thats a good one!

kipley: I think you got a better mule the second time around, so it was a good thing!

kevin22: Picky about my mules I guess.

M.U.L.E.: press space

wateshadon: everyone have chance to prevent smithore speculation

kipley: People can try and prevent it. But it's more profitable to take advantage of it, yourself.

agybaszaras: it depends... sometimes people will buy the ore before you can sell it to the store

Round 5 of 12

wateshadon: did anyone see a game when someone have profits from food or energy? Or is it only game about smithore and cristile?

M.U.L.E.: it's all supply and demand

M.U.L.E.: read the how to play page please

kipley: Food and energy can spike in price, too, if players don't produce enough and there's a severe shortage.

wateshadon: but it never happend, everyone care about have their own energy and food

wateshadon: happens

kipley: But since everyone needs food and energy to exist at all, in a game with competent players such spikes usually don't last very long.

M.U.L.E.: opps

kevin22 is not responding to continue

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

M.U.L.E.: kevin, stop downloading other stuff while playing

agybaszaras: its a balance -- you can't go all out in ore/tite because then you have to pay out the rear to someone for food/energy

M.U.L.E.: guys stop telling him how to play, there is a page someone wrote that explains it

agybaszaras: calm down, stud

wateshadon: yes, I read this

agybaszaras: there's nothing else to do while you throw away your mules

M.U.L.E.: you didn't read it well

kipley: I invited him to watch and spectate this game, M.U.L.E.. If you don't enjoy his questions, please just ignore them.

wateshadon: noone is forced to answers my questions

Round 6 of 12

M.U.L.E.: lag

kipley: yep, definitely a bit o' lag

Round 7 of 12

M.U.L.E.: haha

M.U.L.E.: risky

kipley: I have 5 food in reserve

agybaszaras: it wouldn't have had power anyways

kevin22: figures

kipley: It's fairly predictable, kevin... when the store is out of crystite and low on mules, and there's undeveloped plots... smithore's gonna go up in price

agybaszaras: I think he meant the pirates

kipley: Ah. I apologize

kevin22: finally made some cry

Round 8 of 12

kipley: Wanna buy the store out of smithore, agy? Together, we can do it.

agybaszaras: nah

agybaszaras: next turn it'll be cheaper

Round 9 of 12

Round 10 of 12

kipley: scary time for lag

kevin22: why is there so much lag sometimes

M.U.L.E.: cause of you

kipley: Somebody's network connection isn't all that great

kevin22: ping 172

M.U.L.E.: it's your turn

agybaszaras: play

kevin22: 188

kipley: Your turn, kevin

agybaszaras: wow, didn't see that coming

kipley: At least switching to smithore avoided a bit of the pirates, even if the spike was less than optimal

agybaszaras: dude - you coulda gotten a LOT more for that

kevin22: still learning

agybaszaras: thats why I'm tellin ya

wateshadon: and that was profit from food

wateshadon: its possible ;)

M.U.L.E.: yeah he's telling you, so you can win, and he can lose

agybaszaras: they need the food

agybaszaras: because they need to change up some of their mules

kevin22: thanks

Round 11 of 12

wateshadon: hard game

agybaszaras: and food is what determines how big your time bar is

agybaszaras: also be sure to check out the bonuses you get for having adjacent plots and multiples of 3

kipley: May as well gamble on a price increase... as it's my only hope

agybaszaras: I'm stuck in the middle...

agybaszaras: could get screwed either way

kipley: Yeah, you don't know WHAT to hope for, eh?

Round 12 of 12

agybaszaras: if I end up losing to spike in energy, I'm gonna be mad

agybaszaras: just so we're all clear

kipley: potential madness... okay, got it! ;-)

kipley: I doubt energy will spike all that much. For it to spike on turn 12, there'd have to be major shortages on turn 11.

kevin22: Food goes to 2000 i got a chance

kipley: Comon... 148 crystite!

M.U.L.E.: food crashes in round 12

M.U.L.E.: i've never seen it high

agybaszaras: close

kipley: Hmmmm.... 128, could be a lot worse

kipley: But I don't think it'll be enough.

agybaszaras: I think you got it, kipley

kipley: I'm not sure.

kipley: Can't do the math in my head anymore..

kipley: Oh, wow, I stand corrected on the energy

agybaszaras: what did I tell you!?!?

kipley: At least you have the most of it!

agybaszaras: if I WIN on a spike of energy, I will be hyped

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

kipley: Congrats, agy

agybaszaras: I did - it was energy in the end

wateshadon: thanks, nice to watch

agybaszaras: cool, thanks

wateshadon: i leart a lot

kipley: Heh, so it was.

kipley: Too funny
