Round 1 of 12

Rogue Cat: You can hunt him even after disappearing.

Rogue Cat: It remains in the same spot until reappears again.

axpfaia: oh

axpfaia: thx

Rogue Cat: It's slightly different from the original MULE.

axpfaia: havent play this in a long time... last time was on an atari

darken: cool

MeduZa: I dont remember origianl (I played on c64) but I think it remain there

darken: i used to play c64 and variuos clones on pc

MeduZa: I used only c64 and on PC with c64 emulator (VICE)

Rogue Cat: Nice starting...

darken: haha

darken: pirates get nothing

Rogue Cat: =^�_�^=

Rogue Cat: Stupid pirates...

axpfaia: well at least that is out of the way now

Rogue Cat: Get MY plot.

Rogue Cat: My 3 units.

darken: there is usualy 2 pirates

Rogue Cat: 2 is the max they can come.

MeduZa: normally 2 pirates can come

Round 2 of 12

Rogue Cat: 2 plots together...

axpfaia: nice high high

MeduZa: incredible

darken: wow

Rogue Cat: NO UNITS???!

darken: :(

axpfaia: that sux

Rogue Cat: What are those lazy MULEs doing?

darken: and pirates came round 1

MeduZa: 2 much p0rn

Rogue Cat: My first game was losing a plot in second round.

Rogue Cat: Nice starting.

darken: ouch

MeduZa: this game can be EVIL

darken: yeah

MeduZa: the other day I produce nothing for 2 rounds >_>

Rogue Cat: It wouldn't be funny otherwise.

darken: i usualy get plagues with pirates or low mining

darken: when i go crystite

darken: wow

Rogue Cat: Thanks, you gave me great hope for this game. :p

MeduZa: crystite is evil? xD

Round 3 of 12

Rogue Cat: If you get a third plot there, I burn the shop. :p

axpfaia: high high high = rouge cat cry?

Rogue Cat: More likely saying: "what a crappy crystite map".

darken: im guessing meduza's game due to high tite and low pirates

MeduZa: ahhaha

MeduZa: they follow u

axpfaia: nice

darken: lucky dog

Rogue Cat: He is a bird.

darken: we can call him tweety then

darken: the lucky bird

axpfaia: doh

Rogue Cat: Not fast enough...

axpfaia: too slow

Rogue Cat: It would have been too much. :p

axpfaia: so you cant mine on the river?

MeduZa: high high high is too much

darken: wth? i had full energy

Rogue Cat: Don't trust the helper at 100%, always check how much you have and how much you need.

darken: ok

darken: ty

Rogue Cat: If you have an empty plot, it might not "calculate" it well.

darken: oh , i see

darken: thanks

Round 4 of 12

axpfaia: so no crystal on the river? I thought you could

Rogue Cat: No, it was able in first version, but it was a bug. Now it is fixed.

axpfaia: ok ty

MeduZa: on c64 u cant, also high crystites allwais on rivers XD

darken: lol

darken: i had it at 508

Rogue Cat: Player in latest places has priority. Even if all of them bet the same, the last one gets it.

darken: ripped of

darken: what do you mean?

darken: oh, last place?

darken: so you got it?

Rogue Cat: That is.

Rogue Cat: I was in 4th place, that was the reason I "beated" the others.

darken: ok ty

Rogue Cat: Players in lower places have adventage to get plots that way over those in higher ranks..

darken: nice price

Rogue Cat: Decent, I would say.

Rogue Cat: Same for selling, buying.

Rogue Cat: Last one has priority.

darken: ok, good to know

darken: why does my energy and food prod suck?

Rogue Cat: Sometimes, if you are last, you can get all the shop stock just to screw winning players.

Rogue Cat: For the same reason I got no production in both of my plots earlier.

Rogue Cat: No crystite and no food. :p Sometimes happens.

Round 5 of 12

darken: ty

darken: :(

axpfaia: not that bad

Rogue Cat: A lost plot is much worse.

Rogue Cat: A lost bolt is just annoying.

axpfaia: you can survey for me if you want

darken: lol

darken: yeah

Rogue Cat: It's a good thing to keep a trace of the plots in a note or something.

darken: yeha, that is good idea

Rogue Cat: Most of veteran players here do that.

darken: cool

MeduZa: or if you can, using your brain

Rogue Cat: It will explode sooner or later. It's much easier to take notes.

MeduZa: is better

MeduZa: sometimes a phone call can kill your brain XD

darken: true

Rogue Cat: Just a curiosity, but sometimes energy is better than money.

Rogue Cat: Even if part of it spoils

Rogue Cat: .

axpfaia: true

Round 6 of 12

axpfaia: the board is all blue

Rogue Cat: And advising, if the richest player can pay 1000 as max, you have no need to pay more than 1004.

Rogue Cat: Check other's money by then.

darken: well, i paid 60 more than what meduza had

darken: so he couldnt buy the next one ;)

darken: shhhhh

Rogue Cat: Good trick.

Rogue Cat: Bah! Who placed that wall there... :p

darken: nice

Rogue Cat: Rest in pieces, MULE... =^�_�

Rogue Cat: Example, that says I need 2 units more. However, I'm planning to turn 2 MULEs into energy. So, not needing that much.

darken: oh, nice

Round 7 of 12

darken: dang it

darken: lag, i didnt want that one

Rogue Cat: You spent $4 extra... :p

darken: yeah, i didnt feel like messing with it

Rogue Cat: The wampus only appears in unclaimed mountain plots. That means that he has no other mountain to appear right now...

MeduZa: really? I dont know

Rogue Cat: Another change from the original.

MeduZa: ohh

darken: stupid energy

darken: not paying attention

Rogue Cat: Sorry, I'm talking too much maybe... =^�_�

darken: im just trusting what the game says

axpfaia: thinking Im staying in 4th for a while

Rogue Cat: Not a bad thing.

darken: thinking im not gonna win

Rogue Cat: 4th places keeps you almost immune to most of bad events.

axpfaia: see a pirate ship coming in hte near future

darken: me too

MeduZa: u never know :(

Rogue Cat: Same here.

MeduZa: like eartquakes

darken: this game has been a tite miners paradise

Rogue Cat: Specially for the host. :p

darken: yep

MeduZa: I paid with blood :(

Rogue Cat: By the way, there's still a missing plot.

axpfaia: huh

darken: ty cat

MeduZa: yep

Rogue Cat: I would suggest you not to fear the energy spoilage.

Round 8 of 12

darken: maybe i shouldnt

Rogue Cat: Another trick from the veterans. :p

Rogue Cat: To prevent plots being sold.

darken: yeah, i had a person do that 2 or 3 times today on me

Rogue Cat: You'll see that one a lot. That's the main reason games take so long.

Round 9 of 12

darken: lol

darken: didnt think id get it

MeduZa: I miss calc

darken: i was gonna drop the price down but.....

Rogue Cat: Remember that it takes a little difference, if the server doesn't get your move with time, you might move a bit too late and get the plot.

darken: im learning that :(

darken: i should have assayed

Rogue Cat: Either you or me got that last plot.

darken: i just didnt want anyone to get it so i didnt plan well about what i woudl do if i was top bidder lol

darken: my mountain!

darken: :(

Rogue Cat: Usually the one with more money leads on those auctions.

MeduZa: evaporated :S

Rogue Cat: I guess it was a bad idea for me to buy that much ore... :p

MeduZa: shit happened xD

darken: looks like cats game

Rogue Cat: At least the cat-o-nine-tails worked well with the MULEs.

axpfaia: lol

MeduZa: his lucky no pirates last round xD

Rogue Cat: You should fear nor pirates nor spoilage. If it has to happen, it will happen anyway. Risk to win. It's not too different to the ore "buy and sell" operation.

Rogue Cat: It didn't work this time.

Round 10 of 12

Rogue Cat: There you are.

darken: lol thanks

Rogue Cat: Once again, keeping a trace of the plots is a MUST if you want to play crystite market.

darken: yeah

MeduZa: I will rmk after this 1

Rogue Cat: Remember that even if plots don't have base production, 2 of them together will give you and unit each.

Rogue Cat: *an unit each.

darken: thats true ty

Rogue Cat: D'oh!

MeduZa: every 3 plots u get 1 extra peer plot

darken: cool

axpfaia: does it have to be the same type or just 2 or 3 next to each other

Rogue Cat: Yeah, those are the basic "tricks" to get a high productivity.

axpfaia: and is together vertical/horizontal or boht?

Rogue Cat: Basically, if you keep your plots in groups of 2, you have a lot of adventage.

Rogue Cat: They must "share" at least one side.

Rogue Cat: And produce the same item in both, of course.

Round 11 of 12

MeduZa: and u cant share that with other players

MeduZa: all the spots need to be yours

Rogue Cat: Exactly.

MeduZa: I dont know about diagonals but I think is a big "NO"

Rogue Cat: Nope, only when they "share" a side. No diagonals.

MeduZa: ok

Rogue Cat: Another important thing. In round 12 (last one) there are no special events.

MeduZa: bad or good no on

MeduZa: one

Rogue Cat: That means that you can buy crystite at its lowest price.

Rogue Cat: Also, last turn is a favorite to turn all your plots into the same kind of item.

Rogue Cat: That way you can get both bonuses: for having plots together, and for each 3 you have.

darken: good idea

axpfaia: cool

Rogue Cat: But you must stack/produce a lot of energy in previous turns.

Round 12 of 12

axpfaia: learned a bit while losing badly

Rogue Cat: The battlefield is the best place to learn.

MeduZa: u r fucking lucky men

MeduZa: play lotto

Rogue Cat: Roulette would be better. Lotto is pure luck, here we have luck and strategy.

MeduZa: he have pure luck trust me

Rogue Cat: That's the adventage of being 3rd and 4th.

MeduZa: he is lucky @ 1st and 2nd

MeduZa: that why

MeduZa: lotto is for him xD

Rogue Cat: MeduZa has 9 plots producing crystite, he will get +9 from plots being together and +27 for having 3 groups of 3.

axpfaia: so do you sell off or just hold on the last round?

Rogue Cat: It's doesn't matter.

Rogue Cat: Except for energy and food.

MeduZa: if you sell u lost money

Rogue Cat: NEVER sell them.

MeduZa: it takes the high price right?

Rogue Cat: Energy and food have +15 higher value than displayed in shop.

Rogue Cat: Ore and crystite have the lowest value displayed.

Rogue Cat: But selling in last turn is also seen as a bad manner. :p

Rogue Cat: You can boost a player to win that way.

Rogue Cat: You get 97*52.

darken: cool

Rogue Cat: We get... too much to calculate...

Rogue Cat: Crystite value here is $120.

Rogue Cat: Food displays $15, but it's worth +15. It's real value is $30. If you sell lower, you lose money.

MeduZa: I will rmk

Rogue Cat: Same for energy, +15.

Rogue Cat: $25 per unit.

Rogue Cat: Food and energy are ALWAYS like that, not just the only round.

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

Rogue Cat: Check scoring.

darken: gg

Rogue Cat: Remember all the energy you sold?

MeduZa: I will remake
