doktorbuzzo: thanks for hosting rod
doktorbuzzo: i had the same idea
ophiuci: hi again - guess the other guy doesn't like me?
rodz: ht must have forgotten he was newbie once
doktorbuzzo: prolly doesn't care
ophiuci: funny because we've never met
doktorbuzzo: just over aggressive
doktorbuzzo: i maintain he wants host advantage
doktorbuzzo: thats how he's piling up so many wins this week
rodz: probably right
doktorbuzzo: think the same of MeduZa
doktorbuzzo: i may be reaching
doktorbuzzo: but that's my initial impression
rodz: meduza is ignorant
doktorbuzzo: correct
doktorbuzzo: and yet 7 ( or 8? ) wins... doesn't pencil
doktorbuzzo: until you see who's hosting
ophiuci: does the host have an advantage?
doktorbuzzo: yes
doktorbuzzo: lowest ping.
ophiuci: simply latency?
doktorbuzzo: means his/her "button" is recieved first
doktorbuzzo: pretty much
rodz: i join a game that is open unless its uschi or simpla
doktorbuzzo: same here
doktorbuzzo: although... if i am on a long losing streak i will host :)
rodz: lol
ophiuci: i feel like i've sat down at a bar in a small town and everyone is turning their heads
doktorbuzzo: hey gotta do something :)
doktorbuzzo: don't
dynadan visits
dynadan joined the game in slot 4
doktorbuzzo: as long as you aren't a jerk nobody really cares
dynadan: 3 min guys ok?
doktorbuzzo: hello dan!

doktorbuzzo: yep
rodz: hi dan
doktorbuzzo: even if you play hard or rough, that's fine by just about everybody

doktorbuzzo: lol
doktorbuzzo: always should try to be nice to the host
doktorbuzzo: right dan? ;)
doktorbuzzo: hmm
doktorbuzzo: i may be in some hot water
rodz: that dans still at 50%
ophiuci: i've read the basics and played a quick ai game but i'm sure i'll do pretty much every dumb thing imaginable this game :(
doktorbuzzo: that's okay
doktorbuzzo: so will i
doktorbuzzo: watch me
ophiuci: :)
rodz: long as you learn from any errors thats ok
doktorbuzzo: the a.i. game is about as different from four fleshies as limit poker is different from no limit
rodz: mind you i think we all make simple errors at the wrong time lol
doktorbuzzo: maybe moreso
doktorbuzzo: yep
doktorbuzzo: especially when time is short and the events go bad
doktorbuzzo: low on food = more error-prone
doktorbuzzo: low on energy = catastrophe
doktorbuzzo: ( well potentailly )

Round 12 of 12
rodz: thought you might go nrg dan
doktorbuzzo: whew
doktorbuzzo: almost blew that
doktorbuzzo: gge
doktorbuzzo: ophi hope you had fun
doktorbuzzo: and learned some of the tricksies and trapsies
rodz: still trying lol
dynadan: figured i might as well get 12 plot bonus up even though i don't think there is anything that can happen for me to win
ophiuci: thanks dok - seems like a fun game - obviously there are a few mechanics to it i've yet mastered ;)
doktorbuzzo: training games are good for working on mechanics like mule placement, time mgmt, etc.
rodz: yep ophi, look after food and nrg first
doktorbuzzo: right
doktorbuzzo: always make sure those are covered
dynadan: especially early
doktorbuzzo: all else is luck and experience
dynadan: you see everyone going for mtns early but it really doesn't matter early on
doktorbuzzo: they also go for ( credible ) high-crystite plots
dynadan: i would go river and then plain for 1st 2 choices and then mtns for 3rd choice until you have played a dozen games or so
