Stouthammer: awe crap. screen went out

Stouthammer: cant see whats goin on

Akysten: what?

Akysten: uh oh.. try minimizing and maximizing..

Stouthammer: got it thanks!

Stouthammer: i forget it opens another window on vista

Akysten: release the mules!

joelcade: yup

habius: man hate to say it but this is a great game but lag makes it unplayable half the time

habius: and I have high speed internet

Akysten: must be you.. I've played 30 games and only had lag in 2 so far

joelcade: ya.. I wish they'd just do hosted games.. java just sucks as a client...

habius: its why i cant win very often

Akysten: what type?

habius: cable - its awesome fast

habius: i've had 1MB/s downloadss going from German newsgroup

habius: probably has to do with who is hosting

habius: and where the players are playing from

joelcade: I have a really fast connection as well.. 2MB+ downloads..

joelcade: US

habius: thats really fast

Akysten: US... but I play with a guy in germany with no latency

habius: could be my routers set up

habius: its a good router but always better to be connected direct to modem

Round 10 of 12

Akysten: bad part about being first. something bad happens just about every round.

joelcade: especially at the end... earthquakes make you lose two mules and such..

joelcade: that's the worst..

Akysten: but that can happen to anyone...

joelcade: no.. only the first loses mules on earthquakes..

joelcade: nevermind..

Akysten: what dd you just say?

joelcade: did I lose a mule?
