[CheshireCatGrin:] i presume there's still no clay? i presume there's still no clay? 
[gotwood4sheep:] clayless :/ 
[inca:] afraid not, not seen 5 in a while 
[gotwood4sheep:] quite the commodity this time ironic 
[inca:] heh 
[CheshireCatGrin:] indeed 
[gotwood4sheep:] buying up dem cards 
[dmm:] i wish i could get excited about this rare 5 
[gotwood4sheep:] lol 
[dmm:] oh on the bright side, i presume everybody has some clay now! anybody want a wheat? 
[gotwood4sheep:] sorry, 5 wheats me too 
[inca:] you got wood? 
[dmm:] i'm somewhat planning on using it 
[inca:] that's fair enough 
[dmm:] i also have an ore as an alternative 
[CheshireCatGrin:] i'm not trading my clay ... 
[inca:] OK, i'll trade one of mine for ore 
[gotwood4sheep:] gent 
[dmm:] great! 
[gotwood4sheep:] anyone got ore? or clay? 
[dmm:] nope 
[inca:] sorry, neither 
[CheshireCatGrin:] nor me 
[dmm:] i haven't got any new resources for ages! 
[gotwood4sheep:] ok monotony time apologies to the wheat growers 
[inca:] haha, fair play 
[gotwood4sheep:] I eared that earned* 
[inca:] thought that was an awful wheat pun at first 
[dmm:] haha 
[gotwood4sheep:] i did notice the coincidence but I'm not that clever ;) 
[inca:] anyone have any spare wood? can give sheep or ore 
[gotwood4sheep:] will do you 1 ore for 1 wood? 
[inca:] sounds good 
[gotwood4sheep:] trade away 
[inca:] cheers! 
[gotwood4sheep:] pleasure 
[dmm:] sorry for getting your twice in a row there! it's only natural to go for the player in front though 
[gotwood4sheep:] indeed, no offence plus white won the last game so we're both enemies ;) frenemies :D 
[CheshireCatGrin:] Great word :D Also, anyone got wheat? 
[gotwood4sheep:] i am wheatless now 
[inca:] sorry, nope 
[gotwood4sheep:] after being robbed hard earlier 
[dmm:] i wish 
[gotwood4sheep:] hmm, revenge? i'll be nice anyone got clay? dumb question 
[inca:] need to keep mine, sorry 
[dmm:] none here 
[CheshireCatGrin:] i don't have any either 
[gotwood4sheep:] fine fine, no worries. inca, I assume even a couple of sheep won't do it? 
[inca:] sorry, got a few sheep already! 
[gotwood4sheep:] kk thought I'd ask :D ouch 
[dmm:] 7 again?? 
[gotwood4sheep:] hey you found a cat! we've had about 5 haven't we at least, lot of 7s 
[dmm:] equal opportunities attack this time 
[inca:] haha 
[dmm:] aaand just for good measure 
[gotwood4sheep:] lol equal theiving opps well played 
[dmm:] sorry guys ;) 
[gotwood4sheep:] thieving* ugh i cannot type tonight 
[dmm:] i still didn't get enough stuff to do anything with! 
[inca:] you'll be happy when the 9s start rolling in 
[gotwood4sheep:] anyone got wheat for a sheep? 
[inca:] sorry, not me 
[CheshireCatGrin:] nope. you seem to have lots of sheep! 
[gotwood4sheep:] yup baaa 
[dmm:] i think i'd rather hang on to my wheat i'm afraid 
[gotwood4sheep:] kk I'll take my chances then... 
[dmm:] wow 
[gotwood4sheep:] chance fail 
[dmm:] don't suppose anybody has a clay lying around? 
[inca:] sorry, nope 
[CheshireCatGrin:] i'm afraid not 
[inca:] and nor will any of us for some time... 
[dmm:] oh well, maybe next time! 
[gotwood4sheep:] lol ahh 5! 
[inca:] damn it 
[dmm:] haha 
[gotwood4sheep:] ok anyone got clay? i can offer generous terms 
[dmm:] no 
[inca:] sorry, none at al 
[gotwood4sheep:] otherwise I need to go to port 
[inca:] all 
[CheshireCatGrin:] still no 
[dmm:] any clay this time? 
[gotwood4sheep:] none, sorry... 
[inca:] still none 
[gotwood4sheep:] next time there's a 5! 
[CheshireCatGrin:] indeed, still none here 
[dmm:] yeah didn't think so 
[gotwood4sheep:] thought so, was checking the odds. You know that in a 4 player game, there's only a 47.5% chance the 4 rolls will go by 7-less? i thought I'd be in trouble earlier and so i was :/ there's an awesome settlers blog http://developingcatan.wordpress.com i found in the summer during the first season 
[dmm:] a more likely possibility - any wood? 
[gotwood4sheep:] alas none :( 
[inca:] afraid not 
[CheshireCatGrin:] what are you offering? 
[dmm:] i can give you a sheep? 
[CheshireCatGrin:] I'd like clay or wheat. So given the dice rolls, wheat. 
[dmm:] or even two sheep! oh! i have a wheat 
[CheshireCatGrin:] Ah, sorry have no need of sheep one for one? wheat to wood? 
[dmm:] sounds good to me pleasure doing business with you 
[CheshireCatGrin:] wonderful :) 
[gotwood4sheep:] ahh 7 again 
[inca:] that's cool niko, going to do some reading up surprised you shared this with us! 
[gotwood4sheep:] yeah well i like to share why hustle! he's an economics student i think, so it is one slant on the game but there's some good strat in there lol 9 pwned 
[dmm:] anybody with ore? i can offer a sheep 
[gotwood4sheep:] inca - also the blog is now 2 years old without updates i have no ore, sorry :( so he's not really developing catan no mo 
[inca:] sorry dmm, not any more 
[CheshireCatGrin:] me neither, not to trade anyway 
[dmm:] oh well 
[inca:] ah well, not like the game's changed in that time still cool 
[gotwood4sheep:] 9 nooo! 4 better :) anyone got wood? i can offer sheep phrased in such a way i don't riff on my un 
[inca:] i'm up for that 
[CheshireCatGrin:] I have no wood 
[gotwood4sheep:] 1:1? 
[inca:] yep, only got one 
[gotwood4sheep:] matt, do you got clay? I can offer many things 
[CheshireCatGrin:] No clay either 
[gotwood4sheep:] anyone else? 
[dmm:] i think clay is in short supply 
[inca:] sorry, none here either 
[gotwood4sheep:] indeed, something to do with a robber on the 5 alas 5! 5s for all 
[inca:] hurrah 
[gotwood4sheep:] the brick flows 
[dmm:] no 5s for me :( 
[gotwood4sheep:] you kind of got fenced out there :/ 
[CheshireCatGrin:] does anyone have wood? 
[inca:] afraid not 
[gotwood4sheep:] a surfeit 
[dmm:] nope 
[CheshireCatGrin:] i could offer sheep or ore (to gotwood4sheep) 
[gotwood4sheep:] how many wood you after, and how much ore can you? 
[CheshireCatGrin:] i was thinking 1 for 1 
[gotwood4sheep:] i ask because i'm in a delicate trading position if i trade 1 i then can't trade in to build a road next turn so i'll need inducement... 
[CheshireCatGrin:] you can have an ore and a sheep for wood? thats all i can offer 
[gotwood4sheep:] and you don't have 2 ore? i could go 2:2 ore:wood 
[CheshireCatGrin:] ok, 2:2 
[gotwood4sheep:] that sounds reasonable to me seems more fair i hate 2:1 deals, seems grinchy 
[inca:] such a gentleman 
[dmm:] i wish somebody would move this robber 
[gotwood4sheep:] you got your wish 
[dmm:] haha 
[gotwood4sheep:] i think even before you hit enter 
[dmm:] good timing 
[inca:] haha yep, that wasn't on purpose just your lucky day 
[CheshireCatGrin:] anyone got clay to trade? 
[inca:] sorry, none 
[dmm:] none 
[gotwood4sheep:] i am utterly clayless insane 
[CheshireCatGrin:] how about wood? 
[inca:] again nope, sorry 
[dmm:] nope 
[gotwood4sheep:] guess what i'd trade it for ;) 
[CheshireCatGrin:] clay? if so, then obviously no :D
