shrtngr8: i know
shrtngr8: i have played this game like 30 times
shrtngr8: and i realize i suck
shrtngr8: but u must know
shrtngr8: i know just about every rule in this gam
shrtngr8: e
shrtngr8: at least that the literature provides
piete: thats all there is
shrtngr8: well
shrtngr8: thats what i thought
shrtngr8: but then i heard about people knowing or being able to forecast crystite prices
shrtngr8: which if true ruins the entire game
piete: nonsense
shrtngr8: ill take ur word for it
piete: you can only guess
shrtngr8: only because of your rank
shrtngr8: but why did u sell smithore early?
shrtngr8: i have to know
piete: if there have been many rounds with high price a low price is more probable next round
piete: i sold to cash early for land auction
shrtngr8: i thought that
shrtngr8: but it could put u in first
shrtngr8: which ithought players like to avoid early
piete: but it would anyway, it counts the same points
shrtngr8: dont sell ning
shrtngr8: u need food too
shrtngr8: lol
piete: id sell one of your 2
piete: 1 spoils
shrtngr8: yea
ningtang: 337! sweet
piete: so money thrown away
shrtngr8: but its not worth giving u the time
piete: lol
shrtngr8: i was an ecomomics major
piete: me too
shrtngr8: so i do think large term cost benefit
shrtngr8: but unfortunately it doesnt help soo much
Round 7 of 12
shrtngr8: steep price
shrtngr8: but i know its medium
shrtngr8: thats something that isnt in the manual
shrtngr8: the layout of the crystite
ningtang: it's in the old manual...
shrtngr8: that turn should completey take me out of the game
piete: last game had 2 of those
shrtngr8: did u win?
piete: got kicked out
shrtngr8: /
shrtngr8: ?
piete: bug
shrtngr8: o
piete: game froze cause of me
Round 8 of 12
shrtngr8: i hate first
piete: its all part of the game
piete: this game is a work of genious
shrtngr8: agreed
shrtngr8: but sometimes luck plays too big a part of it i believe
shrtngr8: also
shrtngr8: i think the auctions need to be fixed asap
piete: wo luck the winner would be clear too early
shrtngr8: and wut about the auctions?
piete: sure they need fixing
Round 9 of 12
ningtang: I can't believe how much longer this takes
ningtang: than the old game
shrtngr8: FUCK
Round 10 of 12
shrtngr8: how does it decide which plots to turn off power?
piete: random
shrtngr8: how does it decide foods price
shrtngr8: everyone was way surplus for most part
piete: its in the forum
shrtngr8: cant u just tell me?
piete: too complex formula
shrtngr8: is it predictable?
piete: everything is
Round 11 of 12
shrtngr8: not crystite price
piete: except it
ningtang: accept it
shrtngr8: no i think he meant except
shrtngr8: production is also not predictable
piete: +- variation
shrtngr8: right
shrtngr8: but the margin is decent
piete: what is also predictable is that this colony didnt do too well ;)
electrum: we didnt cash in on smithmore early which seems to be the wealth producer
ningtang: yeah, you guys suck
piete: didnt produce a single crystite until now
ningtang: just kidding
piete: i mean that i may produce last round
shrtngr8: y dont we sell?
piete: this was sad
shrtngr8: i dont get it
shrtngr8: but i do get that no one wants to tell me
piete: what?
ningtang: tell you what?
shrtngr8: y no one is selling smithore
piete: its at its lowest
shrtngr8: the price isnt going up
ningtang: it's worth more as "goods"
shrtngr8: really
piete: it may variate to 64
piete: no more worth
shrtngr8: how
piete: but the price is about as low as it can get
piete: so why not hold on
shrtngr8: the price is determined by unexpoited land and number of mules
shrtngr8: how can it get any higher?
piete: plus variation
shrtngr8: 0 unexploited land and a lot of myles
ningtang: not every plot has a mule tho
piete: very tight
Round 12 of 12
piete: almost
shrtngr8: and i thought 48 is lowest smihtore price
piete: yep
piete: and crystite
shrtngr8: well it was at 52
piete: smithore can go lower i guess
piete: i said about
shrtngr8: was it that big of a mistake i made to sell?
piete: we see soon
shrtngr8: is that a yes?
piete: depends if the last price is lower or higher
electrum: good game......i mucked this up a little but had a great time doing it
piete: this game has very small margins so a few points may decide the winner
piete: crystite surprised me
piete: stayed high whole game
piete: i was betting on it coming lower during the last rounds
