Death_Mule17: rdy guys
Tron: 1st time playing
dynadan: you know how to play tron?
Tron: not exactly
Tron: i played the original m.u.l.e. on commodore 64
Tron: and loved it, trying to remember how to play
Tron: so like 20+ yrs ago
Death_Mule17: nice, i like tron
dynadan: ok i would pick a river and then a plain and then a mtn... food first nrg 2nd smith 3rd.... then watch when people make switch ...you will remember it
Tron: so, please have patience with me if i'm a little slow this go around
dynadan: clicking
Round 1 of 12
Tron: is the valley in the middle a river?
dynadan: space bar
Tron: ah
Death_Mule17: to get plot
Tron: i thought i picked the river
Tron: ok, so i didn't get anything right?
dynadan: nope 2st turn going to kind of suck
Tron: haha
Tron: 1st round already sucked :)
dynadan: its not too bad
Tron: so what's the best to build on which plot?
dynadan: doing bad at start is a viable strategy commonly used
Tron: how many things can you build on what plot
Death_Mule17: catch wampus
anubis34: the same as the c-64
Tron: OMG ... its been too many years :)
Tron: too many years and too many beers
Tron: what are all the shops in the building?
dynadan: food on right
dynadan: nrg next
dynadan: then smith
Tron: is there a wiki on this?
dynadan: then crystite on left
dynadan: website
Tron: yes
dynadan: google planetmule
Tron: http://www.planetmule.com/instruction-video
Tron: this looks like maybe a good place to start
Tron: apologies for all the questions
Tron: and the sucktacular start
Tron: also, how does one start a game?
Tron: can you play a single game with bots to relearn how ot play
dynadan: its a pain to host
Round 2 of 12
Tron: sweet, i got a plot
dynadan: you need to get a river next for sure
Tron: so going to the pub ends your turn
dynadan: you can't really do what we are doing quite the same... you need to concentrate on your food and nrg needs for 1st few games
Tron: so what do i build in the plain and mountains?
dynadan: nrg on plain
dynadan: wumpus
Tron: am i doing anything right? :)
dynadan: no lol
Death_Mule17: u need food tron
dynadan: ok this turn you need to pick a river and then just go into pub and next turn you need at least 1 to 2 units of food
Tron: ok
dynadan: sorry dm was typing
Round 3 of 12
Tron: so just go to pub or can i plant food in the river plot?
Death_Mule17: no food/no time
anubis34: watch for something from home
Tron: ah, so food affects time
Death_Mule17: thx comp
Tron: so i am screwed then the rest of the game
Death_Mule17: i got zip
dynadan: no you will get food
Tron: how?
Tron: throught the auction?
dynadan: but you need to catch wumpus for more money
dynadan: wumpus appears on untaken mtns and you must run to where he is and press space
dynadan: higher pitched sound he makes means he is nearer the top of screen
dynadan: anubis was kind of punishing dm there
dynadan: you will get some food soon... pub again this turn
Round 4 of 12
Tron: ok
Tron: and thanks for all the advice
dynadan: game is kind of subtle we usually recoomend training game
Tron: i understand
Tron: how big is the MULE community of active players?
dynadan: this is slowest time
dynadan: usually 1 - 4 games running
Round 5 of 12
dynadan: there is an event that usually bails out a player in your situation that will give you food and nrg
dynadan: if that happens go find the wumpus and then make a food mule and put it on river
anubis34: just dont play akire, uschi or simpla the best, maybe euml-123
dynadan: ok now you have cash at least
dynadan: if you can afford 2 mules next time make 1 food and 1 nrg
Tron: ok
Tron: sorry for the question, but what does NRG mean?
Death_Mule17: energy
Tron: will i have enough time to plant the energy and food?
Death_Mule17: u hae to buy food
dynadan: buy 1 unit
Tron: and plant food on the river plot right?
Tron: or the plain plot?
dynadan: you have gotten yourself in about as bad a position as possible
Tron: haha
Tron: i'm good at that
dynadan: but you can still recover
dynadan: this game is good like that
Round 6 of 12
Tron: i guess buying off that land early in the game (trying ot catch up) back fired against me
dynadan: ya
dynadan: perfect storm
Tron: live and learn
Tron: food and nrg right?
Tron: food being first top priority
dynadan: food on river
dynadan: is your play
Tron: right on
dynadan: but you need 18 more dollars some how
Tron: just trying to remember basic strategies
dynadan: so you need some luck on event
Tron: i'll just go for food
dynadan: otherwise must go to pub again
Tron: need some level of productivity
dynadan: argh
dynadan: find wumpus
dynadan: pub
Tron: haha
Tron: this must be painful for you to watch
dynadan: 18 short
Tron: don't think i'll recover here
dynadan: mules are twice what smith sold for in last round
dynadan: no but you will learn for next time
dynadan: this is better than a training game with ai's where you would learn nothing
dynadan: so this turn mules will cost too much for you also LOL
dynadan: unless you get event
dynadan: so i would not buy food this turn
Tron: so try to find something on the board
Tron: like a wumpus
Tron: or go straight to pub?
Tron: and/or i mean
dynadan: pub this turn
dynadan: with zero food all you can do is pub
dynadan: with 1 food you can usually do 1 thing
Round 7 of 12
wateshadon: what?
Death_Mule17: anu
wateshadon: what was that?
anubis34: that was MULE
Death_Mule17: he dont want any1 to have plot
anubis34: not for free
Death_Mule17: i call it glitch in game
Death_Mule17: i was gonna pay 3000
dynadan: on the bright side brand new players tend to mess up the game....and you have done a miraculous job at not affecting our gameplay in the least LOL
dynadan is not responding to continue
Users who are not responding must be kicked to continue the game
wateshadon: why is it not fixed?
dynadan: its not really a glitch...more like a strategy
wateshadon: how many times i need to watch the game to know the rules?
anubis34: everyone is looking for 12 + plots
dynadan: one
dynadan: if you have any questions ask
wateshadon: why did you left 6?
dynadan: hedging my bet
dynadan: store could burn
Death_Mule17: tron
Death_Mule17: up
dynadan: yay
Tron: will i have enought to buy a mule?
dynadan: this time you have enough to buy mule and make food plot on river
Tron: and farm?
Tron: ok
Tron: yippe
Tron: yipee
Round 8 of 12
dynadan: there are lots of tricks with smith
dynadan: this is some very high priced land by the way
Tron: at what point should i start my comeback?
Tron: hey ... where is my pity?
dynadan: lol
dynadan: at least you won't be dead in the water
Death_Mule17: F meeee
Death_Mule17: had no plan
Tron: i did something in the game!!!!!
dynadan: VICTORY lol
Tron: haha
Tron: almost screwed it up too
wateshadon: isnt this a time to sell all smithore?
dynadan: ok you probably want to sell a little food for money
dynadan: you need about 150 bucks
dynadan: so sell 2 units
Tron: i don't think i have any to sell
dynadan: ya you had 5
dynadan: you need to buy 1 nrg now
wateshadon: dynadan: why didn't you sell all smithore?
Tron: so check out the board for wumpus
Tron: and then pub it
wateshadon: price will be so low
Tron: better watch out for me in the last round guys
Tron: i'm going to make my move then
dynadan: why be a dick dm
dynadan: you needed to buy 1 nrg tron
Death_Mule17: dude i went down
Death_Mule17: there was lots o time
Tron: haha
dynadan: he just needed 1 unit of cheap nrg
dynadan: i wasn't trying to sell any nrg
Death_Mule17: ya and...i went down/didnt buy all
dynadan: i have never sold any nrg in the 2 months we have played together
Tron: "i went down"
Round 9 of 12
Death_Mule17: how am i suppose to keep trak of every1s logic/
dynadan: lol sorry
dynadan: just trying to get it where he can play a few turns
Tron: so, who is in the best position to win this?
Death_Mule17: ohh u only wanted to sell 1?
Death_Mule17: oops
dynadan: so if you get money make an nrg mule
dynadan: and put it on plain
dynadan: if he had an nrg he could make some more food
Tron: oh???
anubis34: e
Tron: wait which one?
dynadan: ya
dynadan: that one
anubis34: energy
Death_Mule17: well i didnt buy all, i left some for tron, he just didnt push up
dynadan: lighting
Tron: i thought i need the energy one?
Tron: or is that lightning
Tron: ok, what are the resources from left to right?
dynadan: ya nrg = lightning
dynadan: left to right stite , ore, nrg, food
Tron: ok, my bad
Tron: i didn't know if it was the first from left, or second from right
dynadan: ok now you need 1 food and 1 nrg hopefully
wateshadon: dynadan: why do you keep smithore?
dynadan: just insurance
Death_Mule17: he hope for fire
wateshadon: but there is lots of mule in store?
dynadan: if lower place players buy out store they can make a ton of money
Death_Mule17: he dont want it dyna
dynadan: ya you tried
Death_Mule17: push up to buy tron\
wateshadon: fire in store destroys already made mules?
dynadan: no
dynadan: but you can let mules go
dynadan: buy nrg tron
wateshadon: let mules go? buy and let them go?
dynadan: ya
Round 10 of 12
wateshadon: wow
wateshadon: do you work at wall street?
dynadan: there are lots of different techniques with smithore
dynadan: some more subtle than others
wateshadon: is there any website with this techniques?
Tron: i thought i'd have more time no?
dynadan: ya its pretty much over at this point
Death_Mule17: tap space
dynadan: each plot requires 1 nrg unit per turn
Tron: ah
Tron: ok, didn't know
Tron: i'll buy energy this time
dynadan: so for your food plot to produce you need 1 nrg
Tron: so nrg and food are the basic items you need
Tron: building blocks
dynadan: ya
Tron: how long have you all been playing this game?
Death_Mule17: 2.5months
anubis34: toooooooooooooooooo long
wateshadon: i play once
Tron: sounds like anubis is addicted
dynadan: smith and stite are usually where you make the big bucks but you must always work on your food and nrg to keep from falling into the situation you were in
dynadan: sorry now i am the dick
Tron: where is the love? :)
dynadan: i needed it all to do what i was going to do
Death_Mule17: its endgame now
dynadan: thanks anubis
anubis34: one
anubis34: more
Round 11 of 12
wateshadon: i would like to see that fire in store
dynadan: this is the last turn it ould happen
wateshadon: i hope i will see what you do then
dynadan: if it doesn't burn then my smith will still be worth what the bottom store price is on the final turn
Death_Mule17: my food hasnt gronshiet all game
Tron: d*mn
dynadan: i have kind of commited myself since i don't have any food and only plan on switching my 2 nrg's next turn
wateshadon: so sell
dynadan: it is worth the price in assets whether i sell or not
dynadan: and that was very low price
dynadan: smith price when plenty is around 50
dynadan: anything over 50 units spoils
dynadan: sell 1 tron
wateshadon: buy tron
Round 12 of 12
Tron left the game
Computer takes over Tron
dynadan: poor guy LOL
dynadan: least we witnessed about the lowest game possible
dynadan: and he didn't screw up our actual gameplay
dynadan: he even had the courtesy to stay away from most of the good land
anubis34: wateshadon what up, so you did have time for a game
wateshadon: no, sorry my little child can wake up any time ;)
dynadan: tron ai plays a lot better than real tron
dynadan: :P
wateshadon: now ai is better than in previous version
dynadan: gg guys....serves us right for not asking if he knew what he was doing b4 we started
wateshadon: but still there is no pause for me
Death_Mule17: he said he played og mule
dynadan: ya only chance for pause is during summary
dynadan: not very well apparently
Death_Mule17: ugh
wateshadon: there should be pause for offline players
wateshadon: any time
dynadan: ya people have asked for it on forum
dynadan: maybe on next version
anubis34: would u take over tron spot??
