bross: heh

Rogue Cat: Greetings, O' hosting one.

bross: this time I am going to try something other than crystite

Rogue Cat: My advise is: don't plan the game, just play the way you think will be the best.

bross: trying different strategies

bross: always underestimate smithore

Rogue Cat: OK, but keep in mind that most of the result depend on other players and random events.

lazyphair joined the game in slot 3

bross: ya.. playing with AI messes things up

bross: the computer doesnt do things like hold out on resources for others

lazyphair: dont know why i cant host. port 6260's wide open

lazyphair: oh well

Rogue Cat: I had never paid attention to smithore that much, but when I played online I saw it was quite a popular strategy.

lazyphair: smithore in this game is the cash crop

Rogue Cat: Firewall allowing traffic from that port?

lazyphair: yep. worked last night

bross: maybe your host IP changed

bross: such that your firewall is no longer forwarding to the right IP

lazyphair: never had any problems before, i've hosted about 12 games now

Rogue Cat: No, that is not important. My IP is dynamic but the ports work for any program.

bross: (assuming NAT of cource)

bross: course.. cant spell today

bross: anyone time how long games usually take?

Round 3 of 12

lazyphair: give it up :_

bross: did you even have $100? :)

lazyphair: ouch

leahcim99: or 12

lazyphair: again?

leahcim99: BONUS

Rogue Cat: No more pirates. What a weird match.

Rogue Cat: That is, if this game keeps that original rule.

bross: I am so not selling any food/energy to you :)

Rogue Cat: "I am so not selling any food/energy to you :)"

Round 4 of 12

lazyphair: no room for personal vendettas in biz

Rogue Cat: The need is the most powerful one.

bross: well, usually when I play this.. the people who get greedy for pricy items (like smithore) get suffocated by not having others sell cheap food/energy :)

bross: otherwise there is no cost to investing that early

lazyphair: i always considered food/energy to be off-limits when it comes to screwing others

lazyphair: starving powerless colonists don't produce :)

Rogue Cat: I often play defensive/cooperative, but if I can make a good deal with it I do it. Sometimes I even grovel.

bross: yes, but then they make all the profit and win :)

Round 5 of 12

lazyphair: $440 a mule. jeebus

Rogue Cat: We are screwed... :p In all senses.

bross: and he is raking in the $$$ because he was able to get food/energy from us dirt cheap

leahcim99: yep....

Rogue Cat: From me, you mean. =^D^=

leahcim99: early yet....

bross: he had is risky spending totally rewarded :)

bross: he should be sitting there suffocating with no food/energy :)

lazyphair: i thought mules come from smithore, though. there's been a LOT of selling

leahcim99: 2 ore per MULE

lazyphair: mule price should be diddly

Rogue Cat: They will make 7 mule next turn, but we are 4 users for 17 mules.

Rogue Cat: What was the assay?

bross: this version seems to heavily favour smithore

bross: super high :)

bross: the smithore price should have been lower last turn

bross: but it will be high for a few turns

lazyphair: frack

Rogue Cat: In less than 5 turns, there will be not enough MULEs.

bross: thats the point

bross: he is not in it for the colony :)

leahcim99: long before that....

bross: suffocate him!

leahcim99: all are free to come along on the ore train....

Round 6 of 12

Rogue Cat: NO!

lazyphair: leah's lagged

bross: wasnt me :)

bross: now we might have a chance to win

lazyphair: or lost her connection

bross: AI doesnt play well

lazyphair: now we see rational behavior? :)

Rogue Cat: I still had good chances of winning.

Round 7 of 12

Rogue Cat: I'm not sure, but I guess I have most of the high plots.

bross: I have 1 high/2med so far

Rogue Cat: Farewell to 230 smithore...

bross: yup

lazyphair: compu-fool!

bross: arg

lazyphair: the human leah never would've done that. stupid AI!

Round 8 of 12

Rogue Cat: With the second pirate ship in turn 3, I guess this game is mine. =^D^=

lazyphair: no frackin' crystite in any my plotz. :(

lazyphair: maybe there's more than two pirates? I forget

Rogue Cat: According to original rules, no.

bross: lol

bross: thats more like it

Rogue Cat: I hate doing that.

lazyphair: it wouldn't be necessary if leah wasn't a dopey AI

bross: computer is such a retard

lazyphair: "oh look, I have smithore, and it's slightly over the standard value! MUST... SELL"

Round 9 of 12

Rogue Cat: My fellows like your roof.

lazyphair: ARGGGG

bross: that just gave the computer a plot next turn probably

Rogue Cat: There are 4 free plots now.

lazyphair: next game I'll just play like a lobotomized orangutan, then all these bonus goodies will rain down on my head. :)

Rogue Cat: This game had a weird crystite field, not to mention the pirate's activity. :p

lazyphair: son of a BITCH

Rogue Cat: We - are - screwed.

Rogue Cat: Only a fire will help us now...

lazyphair: electronic imbecile

Rogue Cat: Artificial dumbness. It says it all. :p

lazyphair: i should sold

lazyphair: surplus +50

bross: np :)

lazyphair: organic dumbness on my part, too

Rogue Cat: No, that's called "brain fart". =^D^=

bross: should have sold more smithore

Rogue Cat: D'oh! It's food.

Round 10 of 12

bross: arg

lazyphair: agh

lazyphair: spoiled smithore

bross: lower price too

Rogue Cat: Bad move...

lazyphair: who?

Rogue Cat: Me, I wasn't paying attention...

bross: I should move up a spot I think

bross: green throw away a lot :)

Rogue Cat: What a waste of money in a bot... =^¬_¬^=

lazyphair: yeah, yeah, yeah...

Round 11 of 12

lazyphair: Yes, mine the river. Right, AI...

Rogue Cat: There were 3 consecutive plots with high crystite, it was a waste in this match.

lazyphair: yep

lazyphair: no distribution

Rogue Cat: Great...

bross: low crystite price

bross: and I may have a chance to win :)

Rogue Cat: If it gets low, you get more score, but the victory is mine. =^D^=

Rogue Cat: Sell it.

Rogue Cat: Until 50.

bross: I have a trick up my sleeve still

bross: you have no energy :)

Rogue Cat: You can't overcome my current production

Rogue Cat: I have just the ammount I need.

Rogue Cat: 119 crystite units.

lazyphair: Good show.

Rogue Cat: If we don't get luxury homes, I'll kill the bot. =^¬_¬^=

lazyphair: Wish I had some crystite. :(

bross: hehehe

Rogue Cat: Sorry, I got all plots in this match. Because of their locations.

Rogue Cat: ah no, not from the bot.

bross: ah.. I thought the 15 was what you would have at strat

bross: start

Rogue Cat: No matter what it says, I just have 12 plots.

Round 12 of 12

Rogue Cat: O' Ceiling Cat, make crystite's price reach its highest this round... =^_ _^=

bross: dont think anyone can catch up anyways

bross: you have 50 already in storage

Rogue Cat: The bot might get a good score from energy.

lazyphair: w00t!

bross: should have sold at 75 :)

lazyphair: oh well

Rogue Cat: YEAH!!!

bross: hehehe

lazyphair: noice

Rogue Cat: Praised be the Ceiling Cat. =^D^= 132 per unit.

bross: thats the sound of green and purple moving to last and 2nd last :)

Rogue Cat: 120 units, I gues this has been my best ever.

lazyphair: stupid AI

Rogue Cat: I remember than energy once was more than 100 per unit in last round.
