CurseTheCrystitePirates: all 3 of us coudve sold a couple

benoit: i never had enough time to develop any plots..kinda sucks

benoit: my fault of course..but sucks

WhosYourBuddy?: yeah, that doesn't happen

WhosYourBuddy?: when one sells everyone sells

CurseTheCrystitePirates: not in my experience, necessarilly

WhosYourBuddy?: yes benot you should have developed a food plot

CurseTheCrystitePirates: depends on whos playing i guess

WhosYourBuddy?: so we should let you sell a few

WhosYourBuddy?: and hold on to the rest

WhosYourBuddy?: hope you don't sell more

benoit: yes i should have but i ran out of food so fast that i couldnt develop one

WhosYourBuddy?: keeping 1 more food then you need is always a good idea

WhosYourBuddy?: 1 food doesn't spoil

WhosYourBuddy?: more then 1 food will spoil

CurseTheCrystitePirates: well you could see me back off

CurseTheCrystitePirates: keep an eye on me

Mandelbrot: stop it, you know what you were doing

Mandelbrot: we aren't stupid

CurseTheCrystitePirates: what

CurseTheCrystitePirates: whos this guy?

Mandelbrot: you screwed up the ore play twice, it is what it is

Mandelbrot: that was your strategy, don't insult wyb and me

WhosYourBuddy?: everyone has different strategy

CurseTheCrystitePirates: gimme a break

Mandelbrot: right

WhosYourBuddy?: that's what makes this game great

benoit: yep

Mandelbrot: don't insult us by acting like you didn't know what you were doing

WhosYourBuddy?: if someone is playing an ore game

WhosYourBuddy?: then you have to defend against that

Mandelbrot: yeah

benoit: cant win em all

WhosYourBuddy?: but you can always try to win them all

CurseTheCrystitePirates: the first time:

Mandelbrot: you don't defend against it and spew some bs about only selling two

benoit: good breaks, bad breaks, good strategy, bad strategy

WhosYourBuddy?: actually the is no 1 strategy

CurseTheCrystitePirates: i wasnt going to have any money for land

WhosYourBuddy?: you have to play a strategy that has multiple outcomes

CurseTheCrystitePirates: then i was trying to make some money off benoit

CurseTheCrystitePirates: without affecting the store price

Round 11 of 12

benoit: hey..i only have 5 undeveloped plots now!

WhosYourBuddy?: yes that's very good benoit

WhosYourBuddy?: i suggest making crystal plots

CurseTheCrystitePirates: you are an honorary winner in my book

benoit: good for someone else!

WhosYourBuddy?: but remember you can only afford like 3 mules

benoit: hey ..thats ok i feel pretty good anyway so i must not be a sore loser

WhosYourBuddy?: hey that's like 3 more mules

CurseTheCrystitePirates: games too fun to be a sore loser

CurseTheCrystitePirates: unless youre just a loser

WhosYourBuddy?: ok, lets everyone just calm down now

CurseTheCrystitePirates: i'm calm

benoit: awesome

CurseTheCrystitePirates: don't like being made out to shifty is all

benoit: what is shifty?

Mandelbrot: no one accused you of being shifty

Mandelbrot: did I miss something?

benoit: does that mean changing positions on a political view?

Mandelbrot: I pointed out that you and I could have made a lot more money on ore if you didn't jump the gun twice

Mandelbrot: where was shifty in that?

WhosYourBuddy?: wow close

WhosYourBuddy?: 3 points

WhosYourBuddy?: closer then i thought

CurseTheCrystitePirates: no i said i wasn't going to sell all

Mandelbrot: yeah this is going to be close

CurseTheCrystitePirates: but you questioned me

Mandelbrot: space bar

Mandelbrot: excuses later

CurseTheCrystitePirates: okay

Round 12 of 12

benoit: arent you guys glad that i let you pass me up so far? ha ha

CurseTheCrystitePirates: your game rides very close to home with me, benoit

benoit: ok

benoit: ? not sure what that means....

WhosYourBuddy?: benoit, in future games, take care of empty plots first before you begin changing mules

CurseTheCrystitePirates: before I made some adjustments, my stubbornness/greed for land kept me starving through entire games alot

benoit: ok

Mandelbrot: if anyone wants to rematch, I'll host

CurseTheCrystitePirates: I'm down

Mandelbrot: need about 3-4 after end of game

Mandelbrot: min

benoit: but i was done since like the second round...

WhosYourBuddy?: spacebar benoit

Mandelbrot: cool

benoit: had no recovery at all

benoit: only had enough time to get to the bar every time

Mandelbrot: crap

WhosYourBuddy?: yep, because of the lack of food

Mandelbrot: wyb

benoit: not enough time for development of just one plot for several turn
