Kidd Cabbage: You are a real estate tycoon!

divisjm: I wonder why.

jonryker: we didn't buy them earlier

BDIV: yeah me real estate....

BDIV: where should i put the condos?

jonryker: you can try to resell it, but it's pretty high

BDIV: lol NAH

BDIV: rather rule the world one slum hole at a time

BDIV: no more wampus

BDIV: watch i will lose a plot

jonryker: i've had games where that was my best moneymaker

BDIV: lol

divisjm: Hah, whoops.

jonryker: i wasn't laughing at the time

BDIV: almost

BDIV: lol

BDIV: meh worth it

jonryker: mule gods angry

BDIV: nah if they were REALLY pissed

BDIV: i would have lost the farm to radiation

jonryker: true

BDIV: that would have hurt like hell if i had

jonryker: meantime they're punishing me for mining crystite....an honest living

BDIV: lol

BDIV: the drugloard calls that an honest living

jonryker: well, at least I can't manipulate the price!

BDIV: perhaps that is true

Round 9 of 12

jonryker: damn spacebar

BDIV: all yours lol

Kidd Cabbage: Best money I ever spent

BDIV: i already have 13

jonryker: this game would be better if smithore cap price was lower or if pirates stole smithore too

BDIV: that is the thing

jonryker: let's see if I get government land this turn

Kidd Cabbage: I'm owed a stimulus package.

BDIV: you know the risks involved

BDIV: just as i did

BDIV: now i have to play catch up

jonryker: the game is fair, it chould just be better

BDIV: actually the game was fair

BDIV: till the modern makers made the old version weaker with their own ideas built on the older version

jonryker: its not now?

BDIV: besides what do you have to complain about?

Kidd Cabbage: Space pirates. >:(

BDIV: i got luicky

jonryker: i really don't remember smithore being this profitable on the atari version

BDIV: i do

BDIV: played the atari version till the disk burnt up

jonryker: three straight sub 70 prices after pirate visit!!!!

BDIV: yep

BDIV: law of regression to the mean

BDIV: first four numbers were real high

jonryker: you know, now that I think of it, we always had a computer player, so that's how the smithore price stayed down

BDIV: uh huh

jonryker: yes, but you can't mine crystite early....you have to find it

BDIV: this is REAL players not computers

jonryker: right

BDIV: so please accept things

jonryker: i do

BDIV: then why complain?

jonryker: not complaining

Round 10 of 12

Kidd Cabbage: what is a mule

Kidd Cabbage: BAM

Kidd Cabbage: Right on my mountains

jonryker: nice timing...don't need the smithore anymore

BDIV: but it still has worth

jonryker: yes, but crystite will as well...

BDIV: there you go

divisjm: yup

BDIV: for all that complaining and he lands in first

BDIV: lol

jonryker: no, i won't win

Kidd Cabbage: When was he complaining?

BDIV: ugh no one buys that

jonryker: an i wasn't complaining

BDIV: ok

jonryker: i enjoy game design...i look for ballance

BDIV: dang instant messaging

BDIV: so anyways

jonryker: oh, well, i only had one

Round 11 of 12

jonryker: sure, why not

Kidd Cabbage: DAMN YOU, MOTHER BRAIN

BDIV: lol

divisjm: haha

BDIV: OUCH

BDIV: now that hurt

jonryker: another way the game could be fair is if earthquakes did not affect crystite production

BDIV: 144 is a huge hit

jonryker: yep. sure is

BDIV: it affects all mining

jonryker: it shouldn't if they balanced the game

BDIV: you can't get much more fair than that

Kidd Cabbage: Here's how the game should be more fair.

Kidd Cabbage: Like...

Kidd Cabbage: Put ice cream

BDIV: let's just play

Kidd Cabbage: All over

Kidd Cabbage: For me

BDIV: lol

Round 12 of 12

BDIV: bad visual

jonryker: crystite harder to find than smithore, with a less predictable market, and yet, has half the price cap, and has a pirate total loss feature along with the earthquake loss

jonryker: unbalanced, from a gameplay standpoint

Kidd Cabbage: But should the space pirates steal my ice cream?

jonryker: in the meantime, you have smithore, with no risk accept earthquake and a huge price which can be manipulated

BDIV: i suggest you talk with piete

jonryker: now that lack of energy was my fault entirely

BDIV: his crystite strategy has beat me a few times

jonryker: you can win with crystite...it's just a lot harder...

BDIV: you also have to realise that the random events of the game DO determine the dominant mined resource

BDIV: not really

BDIV: the cry players that game dominated big time and i was left for ash

jonryker: accept mining events affect both forms of mining....smithore prices can be rigged, and at a much higher level, and pirates affect only crysite...crysite is also harder to find....

jonryker: in the end, the easiest way to win is to mine smithore and control the price

BDIV: as you say

BDIV: i still suggest you talk with him

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

jonryker: they could make food much more important by having much lower production per plot....

jonryker: thanks all...great game

BDIV: gg

divisjm: hh

Kidd Cabbage: gg
