Round 1 of 12
bross: thats right.. just give up :)
bross: heh
dragoncat: I got 'em
bross: why do people survey the river?
dragoncat: Gives you a hint, at least.
dragoncat: Suckers!
kipley: That's me!
Bumbes: unlike c64 and atari it's not always high in the river
bross: I thought you couldnt mine in the river
Bumbes: you can't
dragoncat: I've found two high in rivers.
Bumbes: 4 high in the game
Round 2 of 12
bross: hehe
bross: same stragegy I guess
dragoncat: Yup
dragoncat: I should have known, really.
dragoncat: Nice!
bross: awesome
bross: stroke of luck
bross: I would have bought but I have no cash :)
dragoncat: Yeah.
bross: should have not bought that
bross: mistake
Round 3 of 12
bross: oh do you dont :)
bross: hahaha
bross: no you dont...
kipley: argh
kipley: would have been ok if they sold a second one
Bumbes: thought i'd not get it tbh
bross: I thought someone would buy for $160 that time :)
dragoncat: Heh.
bross: thats what I need.. I need like $50
bross: haha..
bross: thought green would sell - needs cash
kipley: He would have sold... for more money
Bumbes: try again ;)
Round 4 of 12
bross: buggers for not selling me food :)
kipley: You didn't offer enough... you're in the lead, and were sitting on 4K in cash
bross: ya.. I totally agree :)
Bumbes: you sold ore for 164 and not willing to pay same for food?
bross: last time I was in a game where the situations are reversed and people sold food for $30... I got mad at them :)
dragoncat: On the upside, you have enough energy.
bross: you need to hold on to any advantage you can
bross: I was still hoping though :)
kipley: If you were playing in a game with beginners, you probably could have gotten some cheap utilities. But not here!
bross: hehe.
bross: thats what makes it pointless when there is a computer player
bross: they always sell cheap
Round 5 of 12
bross: ya take that :P
bross: apparently I made some poor choices :)
Round 6 of 12
bross: I give you credit for trying :)
dragoncat: Gypsies strike back
bross: hey green... want to wait a turn for smithore... let it get really high?
Bumbes: it will be around 160
Bumbes: 180 perhaps
bross: oops.. meant to switch my smithore
dragoncat: Wow!
Bumbes: quake heh
bross: sell only a few? :)
bross: lets suffer together then
Bumbes: lol
bross: I have never seen food/energy so high together
bross: indecision :)
Round 7 of 12
bross: well, half of what I wanted :)
dragoncat: Heh
bross: didnt even think I could get the 1
bross: waste mules?
Bumbes: lol 2 for kipley haha
Bumbes: it's 230 already
kipley: And one for you... if you can round up the cash somehow
bross: smithore better be like $500 each
kipley: 230
kipley: never goes higher than 230
Bumbes: max
bross: oh
Bumbes: again
bross: come on
bross: what was it last turn?
Bumbes: 210
dragoncat: Yeah.
bross: I would have sold had I known $230 was max
bross: :)
bross: time to get a food plot
kipley: perhaps!
dragoncat: Too bad that doesn't raise the price very much
Round 8 of 12
bross: lol
bross: you just did that to hurt me
kipley: nope, if I'm going to try and hurt anyone, it'll be Bumbes
bross: I mean green getting the river
kipley: Ah
Bumbes: wanted that 2 mountain kipley took
kipley: Well, you've had SEVEN turns to take it!
bross: ya.. trying to hord the crystite
bross: just havent had a chance to put mules on it
Bumbes: nah, it's an ore game
bross: lol
dragoncat: Heh
bross: so.. if ore will never be above $230 then why buy?
dragoncat: Keep the price high?
Bumbes: cuz i can ;)
dragoncat: He's not losing anything.
Bumbes: and all of you will be forced to switch stite to ore
kipley: I guess cause he figures he can max out on smithore production next turn better than the rest of us
bross: I guess I dont understand the supply/demand logic
bross: heh
bross: let him drown
Round 9 of 12
bross: is there any relationship between mule price and ore next turn?
bross: (strict relationship)
kipley: Kind of goes the other way....
dragoncat: 2 times the price of last turn
Bumbes: i plot should be empty
kipley: 2 times Ore price THIS turn == Mule price next turn
Bumbes: dunno what happens if i place a mule, guess ore will drop a bit
kipley: Ore price goes up and down depending on how many mules and how much smithore is in the store, and how many undeveloped plots there are
Bumbes: darn poor
kipley: Well, you WERE worried about the price dropping!
bross: I guess I see why green would buy ore then
bross: keep the price high one more turn essentiallyt
Bumbes: yep, to produce some more
bross: sometimes being last helps :)
kipley: indeed
dragoncat: Never helped before.
Round 10 of 12
bross: heh
bross: irony is that he is the only one that wont get one next turn too
dragoncat: Then why was I last?
Bumbes: i'll get no plot, heh
bross: last when?
dragoncat: Just now. I got the last plot.
bross: time for the ore to crash :)
Bumbes: should have bought it
kipley: I was debating
bross: time for the crystite reign :)
Bumbes: metoo
kipley: The fact that you're still mostly smithore plotted out helped me switch to "sell" instead of "buy"
Bumbes: yep, i should have bought myself
Bumbes: but lost many games b4 doing so
kipley: I think with your lead, you just want to not do anything that could bite you... so I think it was fine to just play it safe and sell
bross: damn.. hoping for last one more turn :)
Round 11 of 12
bross: hopefully that lowers the price more :)
Bumbes: now it's a stite game, i wanted to avoid
bross: ya.. I think I am in good shape
bross: I payed an early price to get the land but think I am ok now
kipley: You're over-worrying, Bumbes... you have a solid enough lead
kipley: There's no way any of us will out-produce you enough to catch you
dragoncat: Uh... The price won't go up. There's plenty of mules left compared to tthe plots available.
Bumbes: turned to an ore game again
kipley: They can make the price go up
bross: ya but if the ore goes up so does mine
kipley: release the mules, and free the mules on some plots
dragoncat: No. I tried. It's compared to the plots available. And it's round 11 now.
kipley: You can most definitely spike the price of smithore on round 12, I've seen it many times
kipley: But it's tough
Bumbes: 10 left, 1 more free plot will drive it to 160
kipley: You need to go to your developed plots and undevelop them
dragoncat: Ah.
bross: still going to be a close game
dragoncat: Not for me.
Round 12 of 12
bross: dont think I can do it
Bumbes: enough already
bross: enough what?
Bumbes: one plot will be empty
Bumbes: it'll drive the ore price up
kipley: Good game, everyone
Bumbes: 2 mules, 3 free plots
kipley: It was certainly an unusual one!
dragoncat: Yeah.
bross: yeah :)
bross: ?
dragoncat: wierd
bross: that was odd
Bumbes: now it's close, i guess you have it kipley
bross: sync err?
kipley: Hmmm... perhaps Bumbes lead isn't as solid as I thought, with the high end price
kipley: ME? You mean bross
bross: I think I may have this one :)
dragoncat: I think Bross won this one.
kipley: I have no smithore, I can't win
bross: meant to pull down
Bumbes: a bross
