Xainiax: everyones ping?

Rogue Cat: Around 385ms.

ZX81: 234

partnerintime: 133

Xainiax: i think those are decent for this game right?

Rogue Cat: It usually works fine for me.

Rogue Cat: However, my usual is around 300ms.

ZX81: partnerin

ZX81: gooooooooooo

partnerintime: im sry

partnerintime: what do i do?

ZX81: hit spacebar

Xainiax: ctrl or space

Rogue Cat: Configure your control.

partnerintime: my bad

partnerintime: :P

ZX81: jaja :)

Rogue Cat: First game, not a problem.

partnerintime: im reading the tutorial as i go

Rogue Cat: You'll learn by doing.

Round 1 of 12

Rogue Cat: That was a button pressed too early.

Rogue Cat: Wait to get your plot before hitting the button to place your MULE.

Xainiax: lol

Xainiax: i should have known that

partnerintime: lets go

Xainiax: only one mule per plot

Rogue Cat: Only one per plot. Surplus should be returned to corral.

partnerintime: damm, thanks

Rogue Cat: The PUB is the end of turn with added money bonus,

Xainiax: i should really start paying attention

Rogue Cat: Stay on the shop line to buy units.

partnerintime: w00t

Rogue Cat: Remember you lost a MULE, that is money too.

Round 2 of 12

Xainiax: wompus hunting is good too

ZX81: bitches

partnerintime: so what just happened there?

Xainiax: random event

Rogue Cat: Losing a plot of land is one of many negative events. Possibly, one of the most annoying.

ZX81: crap

partnerintime: thank u for like helping me out

Xainiax: np

Rogue Cat: No problem.

Xainiax: lol

ZX81: coz they suck so much cpu help

ZX81: hehe

Rogue Cat: And winning a plot of land is one of many lucky events. One of the best.

partnerintime: lol

partnerintime: w00t

Rogue Cat: He lost one, you got one.

Rogue Cat: Players on top line sell items, players in bottom line buy them.

Rogue Cat: I can sell units even if I don't have enough for next turn. However, that will have negative effects for my time to move.

Xainiax: how am i still in lead?

Round 3 of 12

Rogue Cat: Smithore value.

Rogue Cat: Not enough cash.

partnerintime: right

Rogue Cat: This one is mine. :p

Xainiax: no its mine

Xainiax: lol

Rogue Cat: Not enough cash. :P

Rogue Cat: Lack of cash can be bad sometimes.

Xainiax: zis vas zee joke?

Xainiax: gotta be tight on top

partnerintime: when u see the blue thing in the mountain

partnerintime: what do u press?

Rogue Cat: They push button like possessed. You just need to place where it just appeared and press the button.

Xainiax: just like last time eh?

Round 4 of 12

Rogue Cat: Always check your energy. If you have 3 units, you can exploit 3 plots as max. The rest of them should be energy plots. (Again, money is a problem)

partnerintime: dammit

Rogue Cat: The wampus can change its location, but it will not appear on claimed mountain plots.

Rogue Cat: Food makes you have time to move in next turn, if you have half the required, you get half the time to move.

Rogue Cat: Always keep an eye on your money. :p

Round 5 of 12

partnerintime: can u move mules that are already placed?

Xainiax: yes

Rogue Cat: Yes. If you are carrying a MULE, they swap places.

Rogue Cat: If not, just take it with you,

Xainiax: or if you arent

Rogue Cat: In the same way, you can drag a MULE out of your plot to re-asign their duty. Example, taking one producing Smithore to town, and entering into the food bin. The MULE will be able to exploit food instead of smithore.

Rogue Cat: Recycle MULEs.

Rogue Cat: That black icon show lack of energy.

partnerintime: ok

partnerintime: that makes sense

Rogue Cat: Exploit the richest players by selling expensive.

Round 6 of 12

Rogue Cat: Good move in little time.

partnerintime: thanks, im getting the hang of it i think

Rogue Cat: The best way to learn is the real war.

partnerintime: true that

Xainiax: war

Xainiax: ?

Rogue Cat: Never has been so much fun... WAR!

Xainiax: dammit im a colonist not a soldier

Rogue Cat: You can sell to the shop.

Rogue Cat: Food price is quite high now.

Rogue Cat: And half of your food surplus will spoil in next turn.

Round 7 of 12

Xainiax: forgot to put a "jim" in there

partnerintime: oh damm

partnerintime: ah well

Rogue Cat: Try to get your plots at least in group of 2. If not, try to grab any plot if you can't get anything better.

Xainiax: just made it

Rogue Cat: Sorry, I have a slow connection and I need a little more time to see it selling units. :p

Rogue Cat: You can save your energy units for future turns or sell them. Even when a 25% is spoilt, most of times it helps if you keep surplus for yourself.

Round 8 of 12

Rogue Cat: Just wait. When someone is buying from the shop or from another players, you can't sell until the current sale had stopped.

Round 9 of 12

Xainiax: no crystite on rivers

Rogue Cat: Well, there can be. However, you can't mine river plots.

Xainiax: what i meant

Xainiax: good spot for factories are next to other factories of the same type

Rogue Cat: That's the reason it's better to have your plots in groups of 2.

Rogue Cat: When there are just the final plots to grab, try holding down the button. That increases your chances to get a plot before other player can.

Rogue Cat: Instead of pressing when the plot is highlighted, hold the button down before it appears.

Xainiax: you fool

Xainiax: jk

Rogue Cat: Remember to hold the button to get one of the last plots!

partnerintime: ok

Round 10 of 12

Xainiax: yay for low ping!

Rogue Cat: Not easy with a 5kb/sec connection... :p

partnerintime: this is one helluva long game

Rogue Cat: They usually take around hour and half.

Xainiax: so you are correct

Xainiax: it is indeed a long game

Rogue Cat: Usually, the auction and selling screen rake a lot of time.

Rogue Cat: AGAIN???

Rogue Cat: That means that my food is better than the other's. =^D^=

Xainiax: isnt that three times?

Xainiax: or was it obly two

Rogue Cat: Smithore usually gets a really high price when the shop lacks of MULEs and there are empty plots. Players exploit this to produce large ammounts and sell them when its price is higher than $200.

Rogue Cat: Spoilage alert!

Rogue Cat: Crystite...

Xainiax: forgot

Rogue Cat: More than 50 in storage is lost next turn.

Rogue Cat: Same goes for smithore.

Xainiax: well partner i think we just lost

Xainiax: again

Rogue Cat: No, you will lose if pirates appear. :p

partnerintime: meh, cant win em all

Xainiax: tell that to zx

Rogue Cat: Exploit the needed one. =^D^=

Round 11 of 12

Xainiax: *hugs cat*

Rogue Cat: *Hisses at the human*

partnerintime: nothin to do

Xainiax: not you

Rogue Cat: You can exchange your energy plots for another product.

Xainiax: my real cat

partnerintime: how do i buy another mule?

Rogue Cat: No need to buy it, you can simply take one from your plot to swap its task.

partnerintime: ah

Rogue Cat: Or you can take one from the corral, outfit it with the new product, take it to the plot, and sell the old MULE in the corral.

Rogue Cat: The price for crystite is low. But if I keep more than 50 units, the surplus is lost. That's the reason I had to sell it. I just keep 50.

Rogue Cat: Same for the orange player.

Xainiax: say my NAME!!!!

Rogue Cat: "my NAME!!!!"

partnerintime: well

Xainiax: and my evil plan is compleeted

partnerintime: i dont suppose u guys need energy

Rogue Cat: They need, desperately.

Rogue Cat: Like 200 per unit. =^D^=

Rogue Cat: Or more if they feel generous/competitive.

Xainiax: lol

Rogue Cat: You see? A bad move from other player can make you sell it for a lot more than any other product.

partnerintime: heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Round 12 of 12

Rogue Cat: You had a lot of energy, and they lacked in last turn. That is fatal. So, you made a really good deal. Congratulations. =^D^=

Xainiax: lol ad

partnerintime: woot thanks

Rogue Cat: You are learning the basics fast.

Rogue Cat: Watch his turn, and learn what he does.

Xainiax: or not

Rogue Cat: A bad move. :p

Xainiax: see that?

Xainiax: that was what NOT to do

Rogue Cat: Always try to plan before moving.

partnerintime: do we mass sell?

Rogue Cat: Don't sell in last turn.

Xainiax: i forgot the mining

partnerintime: ok

Rogue Cat: You just lose money if you do.

Rogue Cat: Unless another player buy it for more than its worth, thing they will rarely do. :p

partnerintime: what is crystatite?

Xainiax: stuff

partnerintime: mmmmm

ZX81: xain u real stupid !

Xainiax: i know right?

Rogue Cat: Remember those shiny crystals in fields? Those are.

Rogue Cat: Basic items are 4, from left to right location in town: Crystite, Smithore, Energy and Food.

Rogue Cat: Energy and food are the supply to make MULEs and you able to work.

Rogue Cat: Crystite is meant for money.

partnerintime: ok

Xainiax: sell

Xainiax: noooooooo

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Rogue Cat: By doing that, he "ceded" free money to him.

partnerintime: fellas

ZX81: dumbness :)

partnerintime: its been a ppleasure

Xainiax: i meant it for you

partnerintime: oh

partnerintime: my bad

Rogue Cat: Don't get used to that.

Rogue Cat: It's not a "polite" thing in MULE. =^D^=

Xainiax: cyall

Rogue Cat: Anyway, third place in your first game.

Rogue Cat: It's quite a good result.

Xainiax: its not like it could ave changed anything

partnerintime: is there a friends list?

ZX81 left the game

partnerintime: or something to that extent?

ZX81 was disconnected

Rogue Cat: Nope, no list yet.

partnerintime: well

Rogue Cat: You can type names in a TXT file in your computer.

partnerintime: imma do that

partnerintime: guys

Rogue Cat: I keep a blacklist that way... =^¬_¬^=

partnerintime: thank u for being a pleasure to play with

Xainiax: am i now on it?

Xainiax: :(

Rogue Cat: No, I mean REAL blacklist. Like those who kick you out of slow the game down a lot.

Xainiax: i love this music

Rogue Cat: Well, I can take notes of the behaviour of other contacts too. =^D^=

Xainiax: still not the same as original though

Rogue Cat: Anyway, I suggest you to try another game and learn the basic stuff. Then, you can get into advanced tactics to increase your productivity.
