caboosesw: we can always go two computers if no one else joins
tiffanyelizabeth: Ok.
caboosesw joined the game in slot 2
tiffanyelizabeth: Let me check the lobby. One guy's been inactive all night. Not sure about the other.
Added computer player <A.L.A.N.>
tiffanyelizabeth: No interest in the lobby, so I guess we'll go 2 AI.
Added computer player <B.I.L.L.>

Round 5 of 12
tiffanyelizabeth: That investment rarely pays off.
caboosesw: gotta try
caboosesw: gotta learn :)
caboosesw: this is my first time playing in 25 years :)
tiffanyelizabeth: I had the NES version I got from a flea market about 17 years ago. Gotta relearn a lot of things.
caboosesw: i hated that version compared to the c64
caboosesw: don't know why though
Round 6 of 12
tiffanyelizabeth: NES was my only option. By the time I got a C64 the disk drive was shot and you couldn't get cartridges for it.
tiffanyelizabeth: Got me into programming, though. I kind of miss the BASIC language.
caboosesw: basic was good
caboosesw: pascal was awesome
caboosesw: as was assembler if you had the patience!
tiffanyelizabeth: I missed out on that. I was learning BASIC when it was already all but obsolete, then moved to C++.
caboosesw: i went from pascal/assembler to clipper/foxpro ... professionally
tiffanyelizabeth: My brother was always getting onto me for using goto, but I don't know that you could even create functions on the C64.
Round 7 of 12
tiffanyelizabeth: Sometimes if he's visiting and watches me work I'll throw a goto in C++ just to get on his nerves.
caboosesw: you still a codeR?
tiffanyelizabeth: Yes, but truth be told I can't do a thing without a library. I couldn't even render a triangle if I didn't use the OGRE graphics engine.
caboosesw: i never did graphic stuff
caboosesw: i guess A.L.A.N. hit the motherload :)
tiffanyelizabeth: I do games, mostly. Almost to the demo stage of my most ambitious one.
caboosesw: professionally?
tiffanyelizabeth: Indie at the moment. Hoping it will do well on the shareware market.
caboosesw: iphone apps seem to be a great market
caboosesw: i just bought an ipad to code an old game i did on the trs-80 coco
tiffanyelizabeth: Can't afford an iPhone to test them.
caboosesw: did= had
caboosesw: sorry
caboosesw: ipod touch is the same
caboosesw: outside of wireless
Round 8 of 12
tiffanyelizabeth: Can't even afford that. Been out of work for going on a year. That's why I decided to take game development from hobby to side job.
caboosesw: ouch
caboosesw: what happened?
caboosesw: what were you doing before?
caboosesw: where do you live?
tiffanyelizabeth: Missouri. Some punk kid wanted to get his buddy on where I was working so he did a bit of sabotage to get me fired.
tiffanyelizabeth: Where are you from?
caboosesw: maryland
caboosesw: how do you get by?
caboosesw: savings?
tiffanyelizabeth: Unemployment. I only claim when I have need to, so I've been stretching it out pretty well.
caboosesw: gotcha
caboosesw: didn't know you could do that
tiffanyelizabeth: I'd say the AI will be first and second at this rate.
Round 9 of 12
tiffanyelizabeth: We're going to be lucky if the colony isn't considered a failure.
caboosesw: what is that criteria?
tiffanyelizabeth: At least 60,000 in combined assets from all players.
caboosesw: not looking good
tiffanyelizabeth: The smithore crash came a lot later than I thought it would.
Round 10 of 12
tiffanyelizabeth: Yup, we're hosed. You'll probably come in third and I'll be last yet again.
Round 11 of 12
caboosesw: if we are above 70,000 why are you worried?
caboosesw: again, this is my first game in 25 years ...
tiffanyelizabeth: My first in a while. Never been good at economics, though.
tiffanyelizabeth: I don't mind losing to another player, but it's embarassing to lose to the computer.

Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
tiffanyelizabeth: Live comfortably. Pretty good considering I was thinking tents.
caboosesw: it's all about crystite
caboosesw: and only one pirate trip
caboosesw: good game
tiffanyelizabeth: You too.
caboosesw: i wish you well and hope to play with you again
caboosesw: NO GOTOS :)
tiffanyelizabeth: Only problem is, when you find out where the crysite is the computer lays claim to the land.
tiffanyelizabeth: Crysite is a hit or miss thing for human players.
