MeduZa: that affect all the map or the lane only?
MeduZa: because looks like all the map got affected
Metahive: what affected?
Rogue Cat: Rain?
Rogue Cat: It doubles the ammount in plots it passes over.
darken: i think whole map
Rogue Cat: Yes, but has a higher effect where it passes.
Round 2 of 12
Metahive: yes the closer you are the higher the effect I find
darken: :(
Rogue Cat: Stupid pirates... =^¬_¬^= Zero production again in 2 plots.
darken: i havent produced anything yet
MeduZa: I produce bills
Rogue Cat: Those plots are bad for food or energy.
Rogue Cat: Mountains produce less.
darken: i know but i thought i would get at least one or two
Rogue Cat: It's never a sure thing.
Round 3 of 12
Round 4 of 12
Rogue Cat: You are desperated, right Metahive?
Metahive: desperated?
Rogue Cat: Those fellows again... =^¬_¬^=
Metahive: ??
Metahive: not sure what you mean..??
Rogue Cat: Released a MULE.
Metahive: ya
MeduZa: greath IBM servers dont boot from USB
Metahive: I don't think you can drive the price up that way
MeduZa: I lost nothing to try
Round 5 of 12
Rogue Cat: This crytite map is quite crappy, but I like it. =^D^=
MeduZa: u see raiced 2 xD
Rogue Cat: Maybe 3, if lucky. =^^D=
Rogue Cat: Wha, a cubist cat.
Round 6 of 12
MeduZa: 2 more
MeduZa: @ this speed on 1000 rounds I will be ritch
Rogue Cat: Food will suffer a speed boost, but half will spoil.
MeduZa: I hangry
Round 7 of 12
Rogue Cat: The old trick.
Rogue Cat: Look, he has a lot of plots, but half of them are empty right now.
MeduZa: anyway he have a lot of plots
Metahive: cause I couldn't get enough food, the pests screwed me
Rogue Cat: He will get the boost in final rounds.
Metahive: I need the bost as you have two high tite plots :)
Rogue Cat: 3 maybe.
Rogue Cat: Or even 4? =^D^=
Rogue Cat: I'm having an unusually good game today.
MeduZa: I dont get it
MeduZa: trally
MeduZa: really
MeduZa: why now and not before?
darken: lol
Rogue Cat: Because I seem to have most of high crystite plots.
Round 8 of 12
Rogue Cat: Happy, happy, meow, meow. =^D^=
Rogue Cat: All of the plots are belong to us. >:3
MeduZa: I installing debian linux on my IMB server I dont know what is happening @ all xD
Rogue Cat: Basically, check my crystite plots at the end of this turn. Not even pirates can stop me now. >:3 The evil kitty attacks!
MeduZa: «o»,....,«o»
Rogue Cat: TOO MUCH!!! XD
Rogue Cat: My best game ever.
darken: cant make tite :(
Rogue Cat: You can, you have good plots.
darken: but they aint producing
Rogue Cat: Remember to place at least 2 of them sharing a side to increase it.
darken: right, i just dont want to lose my smithore mines
Rogue Cat: Smithore will not be too important now.
Rogue Cat: If pirates come soon, you'll make a fortune with crystite too.
Rogue Cat: (Or if they don't come at all.)
darken: how do you figure?
Rogue Cat: Because I'll have overproduction, and you can buy it when cheap.
Rogue Cat: No pirates anymore, no danger of buying crytite.
Round 9 of 12
darken: they only came once
Rogue Cat: A second time can happen.
Rogue Cat: After that, no risk for crystite.
Rogue Cat: More than 50 units of ore or crystite will spoil in next turn. That forces me to sell when I have more than 50, even at a crappy price.
darken: ok, thanks
Rogue Cat: I knew it... :p
Metahive: the pirates come when it is worse for you :)
Rogue Cat: Well, I can produce about non-stop now.
Rogue Cat: And you can buy the surplus I can't keep.
MeduZa: fuck off
Rogue Cat: The priority, remember. He is 4th, you are 2nd.
MeduZa: I dont know why 'I still 2nd
darken: who r u mad at meduza?
MeduZa: I did my best to be 3rd last round
Rogue Cat: Don't worry, as I said, if anything has to happen, it will happen anyway.
Rogue Cat: Last one now... :p
Round 10 of 12
Rogue Cat: My best game ever.
darken: did you win that game? with me, b4 this one?
darken: 37k
Rogue Cat: But not the same, it's the first time I got all 4 high crystite plots.
Rogue Cat: Now a meteor would be kick-ass. =^D^=
darken: is there always 4?
Rogue Cat: Yes, but sometimes they are under the colony or in river tiles, so they are virtually useless.
MeduZa: y but some tomes over water
Rogue Cat: Do you know that they "spawn" in a star pattern, right?
darken: not sure
darken: i knew it was like a plus sign, of high in middle
Rogue Cat: Yes.
Rogue Cat: Stacking for last rounds.
darken: yeah
Metahive: yup
Rogue Cat: The rest is up to the crystite price.
Round 11 of 12
Rogue Cat: Oh, the family.
MeduZa: toll u go and play lotto men
Rogue Cat: Roulette has better chances, even if the payout is lower.
MeduZa: with your luck u hit the big price twice
MeduZa: go lotto
Rogue Cat: Not really, as I said, this has been extremely good for me. Check my play/win rate. Just around 1 of each 4 games played.
Rogue Cat: Let's try and get luxury homes. =^D^=
MeduZa: ok go get the tiken and gift it to me >_>
darken: :(
Rogue Cat: You should have sold.
darken: oh man, why didnt i sell
darken: i thought it was low
darken: didnt even look
darken: that just cost me the game :(
Metahive: I did that last game
Rogue Cat: Bet on crystite if you can.
Metahive: I hit down by accident
Rogue Cat: Nevermind...
darken: did it once, might as well screw up twice
Rogue Cat: You can run the risk with this or not-
Rogue Cat: If it gets higher than 104 you win a little, if not you lose.
darken: right
Rogue Cat: It's your choice.
darken: too bad ore was so high
Metahive: true
Metahive: ore price is random
darken: hmmmm
Rogue Cat: No, crystite is.
Metahive: oh ya tite
Rogue Cat: Ore is based on demand.
Metahive: I was thinking tite or :)
Rogue Cat: Can't sell more than that.
darken: close game
Round 12 of 12
Rogue Cat: I hope crystite get a high price now.
darken: i hope for a miracle and ore goes up or stays
darken: not gonna happen i guess
Rogue Cat: It might get around $75 in the best case.
darken: :(
Rogue Cat: Just a bad move, that was all.
Rogue Cat: Not bad.
Rogue Cat: $108
darken: i totaly spaced the price, i would have sold if i realized
Rogue Cat: See? Meta produced more than me.
Rogue Cat: Because of the 3-plots bonuses.
Metahive: 12 plot bonus
darken: yeah
Metahive: I don't think it will be enough though
Rogue Cat: Who knows?
Rogue Cat: High for energy...
darken: i figure i lost about 3k score
Rogue Cat: $77
Metahive: gg all
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
Metahive: wow
Rogue Cat: Ta-da!
darken: i would have had , 5k mroe i think i mean
Rogue Cat: Meat won. =^D^=
Rogue Cat: Meta.
MeduZa left the game
darken: i wouldnt have won anyway
Metahive: that was close, that was my first win in like 20 games though :)
MeduZa was disconnected
Rogue Cat: But it was a good game.
Metahive: Elegant estates
Metahive: we did good
Rogue Cat: Now you see the importance of many plots exploited at max.
darken: yeah
darken: and not missing a sale
Metahive: yes
Rogue Cat: Even when I got all 4 high.
darken: he has more provinces though
Metahive: also
darken: laters
darken: gg
Metahive: your plots were scattered
darken: yeah
Rogue Cat: Mine? All of them are in 2 or more. Check.
Rogue Cat: 10 plots.
Rogue Cat: 8 and 2.
Metahive: you get a bonus for having them next to you
darken: yeah
Metahive: I had 8
darken: bye
Metahive: cya
darken left the game
darken was disconnected
Rogue Cat: Anyway, you played like a master. =^D^=
Metahive: I usually screw up like darken did :)
Metahive: been a while since I won I will tell ya
Rogue Cat: I won previous game with them, but I'm more veteran. =^ó_ò^=
Metahive: I been playing some tough players to
Metahive: like RHO , Mike, etc.. but I learned alot from them
Metahive: and had some luck to
Rogue Cat: Yeah, want an advise from me?
Metahive: sure
Rogue Cat: I've noticed you are not too skilled moving on the map. You should plan your moves and save every second when moving.
Metahive: save?
Rogue Cat: Cut corners, swapping MULEs, that kind of staff...
Rogue Cat: Stuff.
Metahive: ya, I am not good at that
Rogue Cat: Watch the AI bots, that's the only good thing you can learn from them. :p
Metahive: I tend to get scattered sometimes
Metahive: ya
Metahive: they cheat though :)
Rogue Cat: Just when you are not looking.
Metahive: ya
Metahive: you notice when you turn off the viusals they like put 4 mules out and catch the wampus :)
Rogue Cat: Yeah.
Rogue Cat: And if not, they run out of time when they are moving.
Metahive: LOL ya ... Good game you were a fun opponent.
Rogue Cat: I guess it counts the terrain as plain when it's not being displayed.
Rogue Cat: I was sharing the tricks of the business with them. I invited him to join.
Metahive: good
Rogue Cat: You helped them a lot too.
Metahive: ya
Metahive: I like to see people enjoy the game and not get fustrated
Metahive: expecially those who might of not played mule on a c64
Rogue Cat: Is "emulator" included in that quote?
Rogue Cat: I just saw the advertising in Archon tape, no idea about MULE until I got EMUs.
Rogue Cat: It is much faster to play here than in the CBM64.
Metahive: lol ya
Rogue Cat: In those times, we had no hurries...
Metahive: I loved it when they had a duel drive so you could load the os and run the game at the same time :)
Rogue Cat: I had one with cassette tape only, :p too much for those times.
Metahive: I took about 5 mins just to load the game
Rogue Cat: Same for tapes, but all those color lines were hypnotic.
Metahive: ya I had the tape player too, man that sucked , Ultima was my favorite game back then
Rogue Cat: You enjoyed the loading time as much as the game itself. =^@D@^=
Rogue Cat: Psychodelic!
Metahive: ya if you were stoned and drunk like me :)
Rogue Cat: That reminds me, I player the 7 cities of gold not too long ago.
Rogue Cat: It had to be a nightmare having those pauses to load every few seconds.
Metahive: ya
Rogue Cat: Damn, that Bunten was a genius.
Rogue Cat: I'm making a Flash game mixing some trade and combat stuff, but I feel little compared with those old games.
Metahive: yes, when you loaded a new map you never new if the game was going to crash and you would have to revert back to your last good save on disk
Rogue Cat: Now emulators solved that.
Metahive: Sounds good
Metahive: do you do graphics to , or just programing?
Rogue Cat: It's just a hobby, I've done some simple Flash games. Wanna check?
Rogue Cat: Well, I made that custom "skin" for MULEplanet. That one turning the old version of the icons.
Rogue Cat: The classic one.
Rogue Cat: You can see some mini-games here: Is this thing sending messages?
Rogue Cat: Do you copy?
Metahive: cool
Rogue Cat: This time timed out for me.
Rogue Cat: Seems to be working yet.
Rogue Cat: http://theroguecat.deviantart.com/gallery/#Mini-games-and-Prototypes
Metahive: I never tried the other skins yet
Rogue Cat: The "Nekito racer" is just a prototype, no real game.
Rogue Cat: The other 3 are simple games, but you might like them or not.
Metahive: nice work
Rogue Cat: You can get the custom skin from my signature in the forum.
Rogue Cat: It has detailed instructions to make it work.
Metahive: I played a bit with 3d max , but mostly working photoshop and flash
Rogue Cat: But it will only work in multiplayer if all players are using it. If not, the default one gets priority.
Rogue Cat: I use 3DsMax to make small things mainly.
Metahive: I like the catipult & cannon games on IAB
Rogue Cat: Well, and others bigger, but you can't see them there without login.
Rogue Cat: IAB?
Metahive: I am freelance web desinger, ( I am board)
Metahive: have you tried their games yet?
Metahive: their flash based
Rogue Cat: I guess not. And if they are too big, I'll have problems to download. My epic 6kb p/sec connection...
Rogue Cat: I'll try to finish the game I told you this month. I hope it to be better than those I have uploaded there.
Metahive: they are online, hold on I get you the link
Rogue Cat: OK.
Rogue Cat: My connection time expires at 8am, I'll put it into my to-do list to check next weekend.
Metahive: http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=50773
Metahive: it has maps and a forum
Rogue Cat: Wrote down. I'll check it as soon as I can.
Metahive: there are a couple others like medevil cannon
