tartarus.guard: yeah, a fair number of players picked it up on c64 of atari. I have only played planet mule
shadowjt: cool
tartarus.guard: *or atari* i should say
electrum: do the economies of scale increase when a plot of land is surrounded on all sides?
tartarus.guard: in my experience a plot gets a bonus for being next to another plot of the same kind but the bonus does not stack
electrum: hmmm
tartarus.guard: so it's good to have your plots in groups of two, but i haven't seen a need to group them more than that
electrum: so just touching one other property is good enough for the bonus
zander visits
zander joined the game in slot 4
tartarus.guard: yes, and then you also get a bonus for every 3 of a kind, regardless of location
tartarus.guard: the web site spells it out, but that is how i remember it

electrum: cornering smithmore late is tricky
zander: gonna sell i think
tartarus.guard: and thus smithore was done

zander: i like that low price
tartarus.guard: come on 148
