1d105: noooo
kanthony: acid rain again?
1d105: i know... is this rigged???
1d105: aaaaaaaaaggggggghhhh
kanthony: for a second there I thought nobody was going to sell!
Round 6 of 12
kipley: Instead, you got a pretty good deal, considering how much you needed it
1d105: ...
HokieDave: I woulda bought that!
kanthony: too expensive for me in round 6
1d105: that wasn't good
1d105: for me
1d105: nice howie
1d105: hokie... srry
HokieDave: I've come to the realization that my land sucks!
HokieDave: made some bad choices
1d105: mine is worse.... The travel time between them if I switched my MULE would cost me
1d105: how did you guys find out about this?
kanthony: now that's more like it!
1d105: Hokie... your land is the best!!!!
HokieDave: not much crystite at all
1d105: ach i made a MASSIVE MISTAKE by not selling...crap
kipley: yep... 230 is the max the store will ever offer for smithore
1d105: im screwed
1d105: oh well
1d105: i wanted to see how pro's played anyway
kanthony: yeah, I've never seen smithore higher than 230
1d105: how do you guys see that
kanthony: the number on the left shows you what the house is buying at
1d105: iam behind
kanthony: I've never seen the house go higher than 230 for smithore
Round 7 of 12
1d105: ... thnx kan
1d105: what????
1d105: i need to wampus hunt
HokieDave: kip, you and I have talked about this -- you were nowhere NEAR me when that auction ended!
HokieDave: that bug is killing me
1d105: is it common?
HokieDave: all too
kipley: Yes, it's the darn auction lag bug
kipley: I hate it too
kanthony: I thought I was imagining things
1d105: because that was retarted
1d105: 1744 < 1768
kipley: Though I have a big advantage... as the host, I'm more likely to see what people are actually bidding in real time
1d105: in mule... it failed math
kipley: But since you guys have a bit of lag, it'll look like to you that your bids are higher than mine
1d105: ... yes, youre right kip
kipley: It's an annoying bug, they know about it... I hope they fix it.
HokieDave: I NEVER stopped pressing up. How can I get beat when I beat you out of the gate?
1d105: i have massive lag... i can't distribute a game that i host
kipley: I just appeared to you that you beat me out of the gate. Because your connection had a bit of lag before it transmitted my move up to you
1d105: uh oh
HokieDave: whew. I don't know what to believe anymore when it comes to auctions
kipley: It's only the land auction where this bug really shows up.
HokieDave: I thought I had that piece by a mile
kipley: In the regular goods auctions, it actually waits for everyone's bids and gives it the person in behind
1d105: agggh what happened!!!!
1d105: ...
kipley: 148 is the max price the store offers for crystite
kipley: So buying at 140 is pretty optimistic
HokieDave: without much of an upside
kanthony: buy crystite is usually not a good idea because of pirates too
kipley: Yep, no pirates yet this game... they're due!
1d105: yeah... its really annoying
1d105: 10$
1d105: ???
kanthony: that's the normal store price for energy
Round 8 of 12
HokieDave: god only knows who will win this auction!
kanthony: not me
1d105: you killed the wampus!!!
HokieDave: gracias
HokieDave: again?
kanthony: been a long time since I've seen 3 plots for sale in the same round
1d105: all the games i've seen, have had 2-3
HokieDave: not much of an auction
1d105: 1 occasionally
kipley: It actually happens fairly regularly
kipley: whooops, messed that turn up a bit
kanthony: nice
HokieDave: that's karma for getting screwed out of those auctions
1d105: oh thank god... it froze a little
kipley: heh... fair enough
1d105: good play
1d105: crap
1d105: 157I needed the $
1d105: ???
1d105: should i sell it?
1d105: hihger
kipley: When we don't NEED it, we're probably not going to go much higher
Round 9 of 12
HokieDave: really?
1d105: ????
kipley: stuck?
kanthony is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game

kipley: hmmm. kanthony, apparently
1d105: nooo!!!
HokieDave: yup
kanthony: ?
kanthony: I'm back
kipley: Sometimes they reconnect
1d105: same!
1d105: that was pitiful for me
kanthony: must have been me?
kipley: Your connection was flakey, but you got back, so... yay
HokieDave: low on mules ...
kanthony: very
1d105: ...
HokieDave: none for me, that's for sure
1d105: I lost... ouch... good luck!!! (im not quitting
1d105: )
1d105: store is gone
1d105: close hokie
HokieDave: yuppers
HokieDave: crap
kipley: mountain move wiped out your plots... that alawys sucks
1d105: yes it does
HokieDave: whose plots -- I didn't notice
kipley: two of yours. Worse possible outcome for you.
HokieDave: gotta love it
1d105: i thought one was mine
1d105: it froze again
HokieDave: sigh
1d105: should i sell
1d105: ??
kanthony: how can you tell who is freezing? My ping is generally around 100-120
HokieDave: I'm sure kip would appreciate it!
1d105: mine is 62-78
1d105: i have an XP
kipley: See, now that turn I actually NEEDED energy at the start... you could have made me pay higher, then.
Round 10 of 12
1d105: im learning... thnx
kipley: no problem, it takes a while to get the hang of all the subtleties
1d105: ...
1d105: are you guys playing after???
HokieDave: not I
kanthony: me either
1d105: ach hokie... maybe later...
1d105: i dunno about me
kipley: kanthony: We could only tell it was you freezing that one time when it stopped for a long time...then the computer flashed a message that it was you.
kanthony: pirates??
1d105: yes
kipley: Seems likely
1d105: no!!!!!!
kipley: Right on time.
kanthony: ah, ok
1d105: it's like its on cue
kanthony: sorry if I make it freeze again like that
kipley: You can't control your network connection... not your fault!
1d105: hokie... is RICH
HokieDave: nice price too
1d105: what's the norm ping
kanthony: yeah, bummer
kanthony: all I know is lower ping is better
1d105: oh...
Round 11 of 12
1d105: yayayay

1d105: no froze
kipley: ...if we make it there....
HokieDave: oh, come on!
1d105: freezing sucks!!!
kipley: Be a shame for the game to lock up now, so close to the finish!
1d105: fps 50!!!
kanthony: definite
1d105: omg
1d105: what the hell!!!
kipley: FPS doesn't really matter... Ping is more important
1d105: whew
kipley: Someone's connection is flakey, is all... I've seen much worse!
HokieDave: me too
1d105: but that freezes the animations, so u cant see
kanthony: sorry, probably me after I froze earlier
HokieDave: we're still connected -- knock on wood!
kanthony: yeah, just need to make it through one more round

1d105: the clock stopped
1d105: is it just me

HokieDave: oh well -- sorry for that
1d105: sh^t kan is dead
Round 12 of 12
1d105: man he was so close
kipley: I've got a lot of ground to make up. I don't think I'll be able to close the gap
kipley: Need a high crystite price, for sure.
1d105: same, im screwed
HokieDave: game's out of my hands now!
HokieDave: I've seen you do some pretty amazing things in the past ... we'll see
1d105: kip? are you hat good?
1d105: that srry
kipley: I've played a few games, is all!
1d105: few /= 134
HokieDave: I'm thinking now that I'm thrilled I didn't get that lower-left corner plot for $3K in round 9
kipley: Having 12 crystite plots gives me a chance... get the 4 bonus per plot just from the Economies of Scale alone
kipley: Yeah, I may have overpaid for that plot
1d105: yes... you got amazingly lucky
1d105: omfg
1d105: look at your production
HokieDave: we'll see
1d105: kip you're insane
kipley: that's what happens when you have 12 plots producing the same thing... the production goes way up
1d105: ... new tip
1d105: thnx
kipley: You made the correct smitore call! 30 bucks or so right there!
HokieDave: ick
kipley: Ooh, that does it
kipley: You win... congrats, HokieDave!
HokieDave: ick for you, I mean!
kipley: Yep
1d105: 74!!!!!!
HokieDave: you sure?
kipley: Oh yeah, you had like a 3000 lead on me
HokieDave: oh, yeah, it does
kipley: No way was that enough to close the gap
HokieDave: you made about 1200 more on crystite than I did
kipley: Good game, well played Dave
1d105: 20 isn't enough
HokieDave: you too
1d105: ... good game guys
1d105: thnx for "teaching" me
kipley: Thanks for sticking around to see the end, 1d105! Hope you had fun.
