Jayisgames: awesome

Jayisgames: the land is different each game

Jayisgames: i usually try to make food and electricity first

joye: is there a secret to hitting space?

joye: do you have to time it?

joye: or is there a limit on the total number of plots you get, or what?

Jayisgames: during the land grab, everyone is fighting for the same land, so yeah, it's a timing thing

Jayisgames: you only get one free one each round

joye: ok so it's the first to hit space on a particular piece?

Jayisgames: well, yes sort of

Jayisgames: the game gives priority to players who aren't doing so well

Round 1

Jayisgames: it handicaps the lead players

Jayisgames: mules are bottom right

Jayisgames: food is top right

Jayisgames: electricty is next to that

Jayisgames: now take it out to your plot

Jayisgames: you have to work quickly

breachin82: was i

breachin82: ok

Jayisgames: and go into the pub last

Jayisgames: for some money

Jayisgames: i'd plot electricty out there

Jayisgames: now take that mule back

Jayisgames: no

Jayisgames: back to where you bought it

Jayisgames: for a refund

joye: oh so you just put it back where you bought it

Jayisgames: yep

joye: well I did better than last time at least lol

Jayisgames: hehe

joye: oh no!

joye: wait I wasn't mining

joye: so that's ok

Jayisgames: food and electric are the only essentials

Jayisgames: food affects how long you have to play durting your turn

joye: oops

joye: so I hit too early

joye: that was dumb

Jayisgames: electricity affects your MULEs, they need it for production each round

Jayisgames: make sure you are not insufficient

Jayisgames: if you have a surplus sell your extra, keeping one extra can't hurt

Jayisgames: you sold one too many sean

breachin82: i was rather clueless there 8P

Jayisgames: this is the status screen, showing score so far

joye: this game is not kind to people with twitchy arrow key fingers lol

Round 2

Jayisgames: make sure you get your land!

Jayisgames: there will be additional sales like this

Jayisgames: tjat

Jayisgames: additional plots of land are valuable

Jayisgames: since it's all about how much resources you can gather

joye: ok I wont' make the same mistakes this time

joye: I will make bold new mistakes :3

Jayisgames: try to fill your plots sean during your turn, you should be able to fill at leaST 2

breachin82: ok

joye: is it only one thing per plot?

Jayisgames: yes

Jayisgames: but you can swap them

joye: wait why did I only get like five seconds???

Jayisgames: didn't you have enough food?!

joye: oh no because I accidentally sold instead of bought

Jayisgames: L:O

joye: so is there no way for me to catch up now :(

Jayisgames: well, next round

joye: so next round I definitely have to buy food

joye: lots of food

Jayisgames: you only need the sufficient amount each time

joye: whoa, space pirates

breachin82: sorry to beat you two so badly

Jayisgames: make sure you buy enough food

Jayisgames: sean you need food, but there's no more to go around

Jayisgames: the store was depleated

Jayisgames: the store is on the right, next to our names

Jayisgames: sean you need to buy electricity

Jayisgames: you don't need anymore

breachin82: i dont understand the interface at all

joye: awww I'm in last place lol

Jayisgames: it will make sense

joye: ok, time for new mistakes!

breachin82: so when you tell me to byy

breachin82: i dont know how

Jayisgames: the multiplayer aspect of the auction is what makes this game so unique

joye: i like the land auction

Jayisgames: well, buyers are on the bottom, sellers are on the top

Round 3

Jayisgames: the range between them is the market price

joye: I didn't realize I was still in chat mode

joye: I kept hitting space

joye: and nothing was happening

Jayisgames: yeah, hit enter if space doesn't work

Jayisgames: you don't have enough money

Jayisgames: go hunt a wompas

Jayisgames: aww

joye: at least i made it to the pub

Jayisgames: you need to get that pub money

Jayisgames: you just missed it

joye: do you use the assay to get the wompas?

Jayisgames: no

joye: oh, how do you do it then?

Jayisgames: you don't need anything for the wompas

Jayisgames: just find it.

joye: oh wompas I just got it

Jayisgames: it will appear at random, a little blue thing

joye: that's that old, old game, right?

Jayisgames: yes

joye: or is that wumpas

Jayisgames: wumpas, but i think there is a connection

joye: so for getting into the pub, it's not enough to get in before time out? you have to be in a certain amount of time before time out?

joye: because I got in right on the buzzer

breachin82: you werent all the way in

Jayisgames: great price on smithore

joye: is there anything to do with cryisite and smithore besides sell them

Jayisgames: not really

Jayisgames: but that's where you will make the most money

breachin82: yay

breachin82: how do i sell

joye: i am hosed lol

Jayisgames: go all the way to the bottom

Jayisgames: or find someone willing to pay more and meet them up higher

Jayisgames: sometimes you can force players

joye: hoooooosed

Jayisgames: force players to have to pay richly for essential resources if you have a surplus and there's no more in the store

Round 4

Jayisgames: my best advice to you joye is to go hunt wompas during your turn, and be sure to get into the pub

joye: i may only have time to get in the pub

joye: because I don't have enough food

Jayisgames: but you don't have enough food, do you?

Jayisgames: meh

joye: because I couldn't afford food

joye: hence, hosed.

Jayisgames: yeah, you're in a tight spot

joye: so I'm going to make a break for the pub

joye: so does the mule cost more every round

Jayisgames: yes, but it differs

joye: wait was that my turn

Jayisgames: no mine

Jayisgames: you need electricity for this phase, for your MULEs to do their work

joye: c'mon game, give me some good random event, you can see I need it

Jayisgames: it will :)

Jayisgames: smithore is crazy expensive

joye: lol he walked right off the screen

joye: I can still hear him

Jayisgames: who did?

joye: the computer

Jayisgames: i see him on mine, but the interface stopped

breachin82: i see him just standing there

Jayisgames: weird

joye: is it frozen?

Jayisgames: must be a bug

breachin82: i think i get this now

joye: on mine I saw him walk right off the screen

Jayisgames: i think this game is borked

Jayisgames: want to try once more?

joye: and I can still hear the little "pad pad pad" noise of him walking

Jayisgames: lol

joye: yeah third time is the charm right :3

breachin82: well im gonna go

Jayisgames: k

breachin82: ill read up and figure it all out

Jayisgames: ok, just me and you joye?

joye: sure :)

Jayisgames: we can play with 2 computers

Jayisgames: cheers sean
