Good to see you back mightygoobi. Those scores you are posting for the empire are impressive, great work!

 What other empires? It is just me  and well the top two Empires plus the Pub that are active. I know I am at your heels in rank but I have three characters so I would be fewer than you, mightygoobi.

Good show GW.

Shamefully, I must admit I can't even find the time to get back to a game I started almost a month ago.

My time dedicated to gaming has basically come to a grinding halt. In fact, I seldom have time to check out the forums on a regular basis any more and only stumbled upon this recent addition by you only days later.

Elemental looks interesting, but sadly I'm afraid I'll lag behind considerably in keeping up with it's development.

Amen to that.

It seems that My Empire should keep you alive too, so that it would be a challenging experience and be active for both of us. You are welcome in my Empire thread too so don't be a strange, drop a comment, anyway some of our goals are the same.

Good Hunting

Hey guys, hope everything is well with all of you.

I haven't been playing GalCiv2 much lately, I'm afraid, but thought I would pop in to see how you're all doing. (Well, actually, also to see if there was any reason my Sacred 2 was taking forever to download).

Howdy, ghostwes. Glad to hear your new situtation has settled down enough for you to pick up a game.

Fellow Gerontocrats, I just hit the AltMeta for the first time in far too long and noted that we are still hanging on to 3rd place despite being down to 8 folks with some points that haven't aged out. madsko alone has posted the bulk of our empire score and is #17 on the highly competitive All Universal ladder, but Bellatrix holds #6 on Civ Universal and Wheezer is #9 on that ladder. UncleCraig is #4 on Civ Solar.

An even more pleasant surprise is that our Esteemed Founder ghostwes posted a pair of games last month and has himself at #7 on Military Galactic. Maybe he'll pop by here and say howdy again soon.

Me, it turns out I had a very geriatric moment when I started my current game and it is not an MV game. I'm hoping that the Elemental beta will stretch still further both for the good of that game and to give me a chance to get one more MV game in before the pain of Elemental shifts from beta frustration to just-one-more-turn.

OK, its seems to be a year since anybody has visit you so my Empire thought it would help you out by bring you faster walking canes and pretty nurses to give you your daily sponge bathes from now on, so enjoy!

We are looking for players to join to be aggressive Admirals to lead my fleets across the Galaxy.

Geez!

Looks like us geezers were in danger of slipping into 9th place after a somewhat lengthy and comfy 4th and 5th spot (AltMeta) not too long ago. If it were not for the efforts of Uncle Craig to bring us back from the brink I fear we might be booted out of the heralded top 10... good grief... damn those young'uns!

I think we are now in 8th spot, thanks to his diligence. Good work sir, if you are ever nosing around the forums to read this. I fear our silent but steadfast "points getter", madsko may have succumbed to GalCiv 2 fatigue, which is his right after all, with an extremely long and heroic stretch of game submissions, he cannot be faulted after such herculean efforts... chapeaux off to you sir! I believe it was he who kept us in the running for so long, along with a few submissions from other Gerontocrats from Jan. 2011 onward. Maybe he is just taking a well deserved break, hopefully we'll see him again.

Let me be the latest (and hopefully not the last) to contribute. I shall hereby humbly submit my latest and most feeble of efforts to our great empire... The Gerontocracy.

Long live the sitz bath my friends!
