leahcim99: the French thing - BONUS
dynadan: we lock perople up for speaking french in these parts :P
leahcim99: may be worth it right there
dynadan: haha\\
dynadan: he is only pretending to be left
leahcim99: he is hard to read....
dynadan: he is just a different puppet on the same hand that is big business
leahcim99: well, he is trying to rein them in a little...the banks at least
dynadan: like the whole obama care issue..... if he was left we would get health care similar to yours....instead we got mandatory private insurance
dynadan: no one can reign in the banks ....they have all the money
dynadan: the banks are bigger than borders now
leahcim99: our government did back in the 90's - and now our banks did not need bail out money
dynadan: the world has changed in the last 60 years and theres no government that has come close to keeping up
leahcim99: true
leahcim99: the internet changed it all
leahcim99: made info available to all very quickly
dynadan: ya
leahcim99: i am actually old enough that I had to learn how to write and post a letter
leahcim99: when I was in school
dynadan: even though we are pretty young we are still too old to see all the ramifications of the internet....maybe our kids will see clearer
dynadan: ya what a waste of time eh? handwriting lol
leahcim99: well, I was in the banking industry in the ninties....and we had instant communications world wide and e-mail before the name Bill Gates was ever uttered
dynadan: in the future there will only be 1 class.....Google home room
leahcim99: :P
leahcim99: but you are right
dynadan: ok i have a question with the whole banking thing
leahcim99: ?
dynadan: there is instant communication for banks right? has been for a while.... so why does it still take 3-5 business days for a check to clear? lol
leahcim99: the paper has to transit to home branch.

Mandor007 visits
Mandor007 joined the game in slot 3
dynadan: ended up they only passed it for one reason....and that was to shut down netteller...
Mandor007 unjoined the game
Mandor007 left the game
dynadan: netteller had gotten too big for its britches....and had made it real easy to transfer money around the world without government interference
dynadan: within days of passing law they shutdown netteller.... and since then (over 4 years) they have done nothing to restrict gambling
dynadan: they are just making sure that internet banking doesn't go around the real banks
leahcim99: it's all paper....
leahcim99: brb
dynadan: ok
leahcim99: got the boy into his pj's
leahcim99: just looking at the testboards....

dynadan: really weird it is this slow this early
leahcim99: yep
leahcim99: some regulars missing
dynadan: death mule and i started experimenting with a new rule set when using ai's last night
dynadan: to keep ai's from ruining game
leahcim99: go on
dynadan: we made a rule that you could not buy out ai unless there are units in the store
dynadan: must leave the ai with 1 extra food and 2 extra energy
dynadan: the trigger that has been casuing the ai to switch to all food or all nrg and screwing up the game is buying him completely out of units
leahcim99: good idea
dynadan: seemed to work
dynadan: but there are a few problems also

leahcim99: clutch wampus
leahcim99: right at the line
Round 3 of 12
ophiuci: nice money management :)
Round 4 of 12
ophiuci: lucky guy!
Round 5 of 12
Round 6 of 12
dynadan: omg i made 2 units of food.....I"M RICH!!!
Round 7 of 12
dynadan: no fair stealing last place from me mike heh
leahcim99: i like it down at the bottom....
leahcim99: only one way to go from there :D
leahcim99: bugs love you Orv
Orv: Yeah, but so did meteorites, so I can't complain too much.
leahcim99: ying and yang
dynadan: i don't know why i bother with a food plot
dynadan: its made 5 total units the last 6 rounds
Round 8 of 12
leahcim99: get away
leahcim99: leaches
leahcim99: vultures
leahcim99: thieves
leahcim99: :P
dynadan: i like this land auction a lot better
leahcim99: yep - still think it should stop if no plot bought
Round 9 of 12
dynadan: nice turn again mike
dynadan: that fix would have been ok and would get rid of the mutiple run ups
dynadan: but this fix was an actual improvement
leahcim99: yep
Round 10 of 12
dynadan: yay got to 3rd
dynadan: ouch
Orv: Ouch.
dynadan: thats the thing i wish they would fix
dynadan: the plot take away and give events make no sense.....should only take away plot if in 1st with too much land....and give plot if last and not enough land
dynadan: and never before turn 4
Round 11 of 12
dynadan: faster to go around store than thru store ophi
ophiuci: do pirates come every game?
Orv: Those pirates sure have a sense of timing, this game.
Orv: Nope, not always.
dynadan: they come max of 2 times a game
dynadan: i don't ever recall a game where they didn't come at least once
dynadan: but i think its possible
Orv: I had one where they didn't.
Orv: It's pretty rare, though.
ophiuci: so buying at $90 towards the end is fairly risky then if they haven't shown
Round 12 of 12
dynadan: yes
leahcim99: they seem to favor month 11
dynadan: i had lost count didn't know how many times they had come this game ...so i just wanted to esell
dynadan: buying stite is always risky even when the pirates have come twice....price is never guaranteed to go up... and if you are making a lot you usually have to sell next round anyway to keep from spoiling
dynadan: lol
leahcim99: that really sucks
dynadan: we should have just stuck with smithore
leahcim99: someone broke his legs running down....
dynadan: oh ya
dynadan: that big jerk
leahcim99: lol
dynadan: the old bait and switch by letting mules go :P
