trellend: should be fine gohar
piete: its a couple of months since my last game so i really would like to finish a 4p game
Gohar: although that is to some extent just plucking a number out of sky

trellend: game abort?
piete: no, cpu takes over

kipley: Argh! Not THAT plot!
kipley: break up my connectivity...
piete: sorry... ;)
kipley: Not your fault!
kipley: Just funny that the computer selected the one plot that was in between mine...
kipley: Of course, I could have avoided the problem by selecting it during the land grant in the first place, but was trying to be too clever...
trellend: 'm still learning, this with humans, lol
trellend: I'm cookign chicken wings, anyone want some?
kipley: Wait, my characted IS a bird... so... no!
kipley: character

piete: too much original
piete: btw i switched to atari emulator
piete: whos got guts? ;)
kipley: Yeah, makes it interesting when it's on the last plot
trellend: yeah it does
piete: next round 6 auctions...
piete: auch!
piete: ping 250 and sold one too many
Round 5 of 12
piete: right!
piete: 6 auctions, i said...
piete: as if you werent gonna buy it
piete: what?
piete: that was a steal kip!
kipley: river plots are a bit less valuable
piete: but only a bit
kipley: but actually, I messed up on guessing what Johnny would do
kipley: And was hoping for a follow up auction on land I'd prefer to that plot
piete: quake
kipley: good call
piete: good investment ;)
Round 6 of 12
kipley: should have gone for it last turn...
piete: me too
piete: hell pay 1800
piete: he'll that is ;)
kipley: urgh, my timing is off
piete: kip, you had the keys to victory
piete: HAD
piete: although auction crippled trel a bit...
kipley: Only temporarily
piete: i remember some games with rhodan where we got production running r4...
kipley: Well, at least I'm out of the lead. Probably for good!
piete: im there to get the pests
kipley: pest insurance
piete: yep
piete: since i have to put energy next round...
Round 7 of 12
piete: cant count till 4
kipley: I liked the returning of the mule... hardly ever see that
piete: its 400
piete: that i couldve lost
piete: although i should avoid 1st place im still too frugal
kipley: It's definitely an interesting play... sell when mules are expensive, buy back next turn when they're cheap
piete: i dont throw things away
kipley: Me, I throw entire games away...
piete: THAT was interesting
piete: one of those games i dont get crys production running
kipley: Might not need to, after that event
Round 8 of 12
piete: someones gonna pay a lot for energy...
kipley: Just call me the Electric Company
kipley: Ouch. For some.
piete: minimize opponents gains
kipley: Yep, no reason to spike it higher when y'all are making more of it than me
trellend: those kipley wings were good.. MMM
kipley: heh
piete: lol
kipley: I think I'm a flightless bird, anyways
Round 9 of 12
trellend: now i'm having a kipley leg though
trellend: breast is next
piete: expensive insurance
piete: price of 1st position
kipley: Your premiums go up after an incident
Round 10 of 12
piete: lol
kipley: probably not worth it, but I'm desperate
kipley: Need some more bad events to happen to the leader... hasn't been many (any?)
piete: not a single pest
kipley: runaway mule, lose a plot....
piete: i just summoned one or three ;)
kipley: earthquake that wipes out two plots with a mountain move...
kipley: move the lower left moutain of pietes!
kipley: well, that's something, at least
piete: the insurance just became very cheap!
trellend: that was a loss
piete: trellend, thats not a winning strategy
trellend: i'm gathering that
kipley: He may as well sell now, though... hard to spike it at this point
kipley: (without much cooperation)
trellend: price aint going up again, lol
kipley: Looks like you got it wrapped up, piete
trellend: this is my 2nd game in years
piete: looks good, had luck with crys plots
kipley: I kept sabatoging my own chances... nobody to blame
piete: you shouldve bought
piete: the plots
kipley: Yep. Both of them I kind of meant to buy, but messed up
Round 11 of 12
trellend: colony is doing well though, if you're a socialist narcisistic zionist.. lol
piete: right side was really crys poor
trellend: i lucked out with my lots
trellend: but got boxed in
piete: you missed the smithore spike
trellend: yeah - bigtime
trellend: still learning
kipley: Still need the planetquake, with a moutain move that wipes out two piete plots, to make things interesting!
piete: ive played one game where player who didnt produce smithore won
piete: lol
kipley: I've won a couple games without ever producing smithore, before.
piete: no (bad) luck
piete: i was really lucky this game
kipley: Yes, you had a lack of bad events, for being in the lead so long
piete: not that long, only after r6
kipley: But still, you made much better playing moves than me, so it wasn't luck that won it for you
trellend: i think i'm doing okay for it having been so long since i played
piete: youre doing fine, no stupid mistakes
kipley: Yeah, you're only big mistake wastiming smithore, other than that you're doing fine
kipley: was mistiming
kipley: crap, sold too much... yet another in my series of errors
Round 12 of 12
kipley: forgot I still had three energy plots going
piete: lol
piete: lucky
trellend: lets rush this along ,lol -store is closing in 15 mins, and I'm out of beer
piete: do we get full crystite?
piete: kid woke up... may not be here unti the end
kipley: Took me a second to realize that package from home actually helped my situation (the one I stupidly put myself into)
kipley: Good game, everyone
