Gohar: hi again guys

dynadan: hi

dynadan: ya i wasn't mad last game .... i was just saying if i was you i would have sold all my food

Rhodan: couple small advantages to hosting especially if players have laggy internet

Gohar: ok, np. ...

Rhodan: i perfer host because game gets finish no one gets kicked and game is fast barring players with terrible lag

dynadan: before i figured out how to choose land i always thought host had huge advantage

dynadan: then just realized i am a dumb ass lol

Rhodan: hardly no advantage when playing players who know what to do with no lag

Gohar: yeah, very difficult to use lag to your advantage, except for land allocation where it helps sometimes

Rhodan: can be land grab edge and land auc edge if players dont know about it

dynadan: land auction i agree

dynadan: just have to not get in those close situations

Rhodan: just dont wait to run price up

Gohar: in auctions, does lag affect the speed at which th e oponants moves appear on your host computer?

dynadan: ya

Gohar: therefore if they overtake you. does it appear too late for you to respond?

Gohar: so can be disadvantage to, no?

Rhodan: thats why you shouldnt wait to raise price

Gohar: yeah

dynadan: ya but once you know you just have to avoid that particular situation

Rhodan: you will appear ahead but host or player with less lag will have the higher bid

Gohar: ah, ok

dynadan was disconnected

Gohar: but is it reciprocated back. i mean, if there is lag, when the opponant raises his price, wont there also be a delay b4 you find out, and by that time maybe timer runs out

dynadan joined the game in slot 2

dynadan: woohoo got disconnected before the game starts for once

Gohar: hopefully not a sign of things to come

dynadan: sometimes window pops up that says software on my computer closed program

dynadan: can't find anything virus protection wise that does it

Gohar: BTW, bad luck to USA. were very unlucky aganist algeria

dynadan: and only happens once every few days

Rhodan: i have had problems with mule and antivirus, firewalls, ended up disabling them when playing

Gohar: isnt that just your connection, what does your internet timer say

Gohar: does it indicate ou wer disxconnectded at that moment?

dynadan: ya

dynadan: don't think its my connection

dynadan: i play poker all the time and never have an issue

dynadan: could be how game handles very brief disconnect

dynadan: connection say 2 hours 15min ...since when i restarted last

Gohar: hmm. connection must presumably be fine then. so maybe it is some softwaere interaction then

dynadan: ya and i can't find it

dynadan: doesn't happen very often

Gohar: boy this is a long wait.

dynadan: this morning was bad though power went off once and then windows snuck up and updated on me in the 11th round with deathmule

Gohar: yeah, saw that when i first loggen on

dynadan: i felt so bad...but i was winning at least

Gohar: at the moment, most regulars have experience with eac hother, so we know who would do it delibereately and who doesnt

dynadan: ya not too many people play this game

Gohar: far more tha i would have expected though

Gohar: its not just the originl players, but also their kids now too

dynadan: i have played against simpla though after everyone warned me not to and he didn't do anything shady...the game was within 100 points but i lost

Gohar: i played him once and he kicke me and the other two players out. i played once again yesterday with him and kipley joied in, but that time only my connection was a problem.

Gohar: maybe depends whether he has a chance of winning or not

Gohar: or maybe depends on whether hs has the guts to do it to you or not

Gohar: but it is true, sometimes reputations can be incorrect

dynadan: he hasn't been around lately

Gohar: he was around all of yesterday while i was logged on

dynadan: i don't think i would play uschi

Gohar: nevr played him. but he;s got a reputation, as does emel. i remember hodan called emel out in the lobby.

dynadan: i could give wahnsinn crap about getting bronze medal by beating noobs heads up.... except i was the noob lol

Gohar: haha

dynadan: last week

Gohar: youve made fast progrress tho

dynadan: heads up is just a different game

dynadan: i played this game soooooo much when i was a kid

dynadan: waiting for 4 players took longer than it does here haha

Gohar: iplayed it ever yweekend. it was my fovourite. but i didnt expect taht other people would like it too. my friends only ever talked aout street fighter, whereas they would laugh when i played mule

dynadan: this was good pure computer board game

dynadan: i replayed Pirates! a few months ago on an emulater....it was fun but doesn't hold up as well as this

Gohar: never plaed that one. i only had a few games back then
