900900 score for the empire!

I don't think I could quite make it to a million...I was down to 25K a year the last year.

This should put us back at #1 in the official meta. We have really had quite a few of us posting over the last couple of weeks! It was good to see us go from ~800K down, all the way back to #1. I hope we can keep it there. Now for the altmeta #1...

Once all the updating occurs, this should also make my character #1 for:
Official Meta
Alt Meta
All Time Alt Meta

Doing my happy dance!

Well Done Purge! I hate to see my nice little gold medal go bye bye, but wow what a score!!!

Glad to see the gold again   . Amazing score Purge. So close to a Mil.   

Looks like we went over the top before my score was totaled in and mine is just providing a little cushion between us and the HCH. Congratulations to all!

Sleepy time feels good!

Last month I completed a detailed suicide medium map game which I would like to post but my AAR depends on spaces for formatting which web browsers ignore. I'm an experienced developer but I novice when it comes to HTML but I Google search gave me the answer. Just mark the text block with <pre> </pre>.

Hummm... Been a while...

[dusts off the plaque over the bar]

I've been on a breather myself, but I'm still around!

Still here. I'm like that house guest you can't get rid of   Been doing the League thing as of late.

Yes... we know...

I'm embedding myself at the Core, hanging pictures on the walls   (literally in the gallery   ). Just haven't found a safe place to nap without the risk of becoming an undead moose snack.   

Apparently we are all taking a nice depth breath, sipping on our daiquiri's, fiddling with the metaleague (in some cases) and enjoying our recent victory in taking back the #1 spot from the HCH. Not a bad life!!!

I know I promised to make my next game a follow along game over in on the Galactic Core. I think I might be up for starting that in the next week or two. Large suicidal, using the same custom race I used for my mega game seems like the best candidate to me, especially since I might be a touch cold after a two month break. I was thinking about simply posting a turn one game file and then try to save out game files at critical (decision points) as I go through it, explaining why I think it's a turning point and what I plan to do about it. Still debating with myself whether I should try a no limits, use every sleazy/dirty trick I know, riding the knifes edge game, or show some self restraint. This actually does affect how I play a bit. Your input would be appreciated! Hopefully, seeing my play style might open up some playing possibilities for everyone else. I certainly know that getting a feel for what the other players were doing in the various threads, here and, especially, at our private forums, helped my game out. I also know that playing out part of a game that Qestraal was struggling with is one of the most fun GC II things I have done.

I wanted to post this over here, in case any of our members might be interested who are watching only the forums and not the core. Also, this is yet one more reason for anyone who is empire shopping to Join the Galactic Diplomats! OK, I know it's not subtle, but I wanted to remind everyone that we are an open empire and all are welcome.

The Crowd Hushes

That would be like getting to the top of the Himalayas and asking that monk the secrets to life. You know I would love to see that, with or without the saves.

Long time - no see - Hi y'all..  

DA, you have too high of an opinion of my skills...I'll take it!

MTM (Cardassian) Welcome! Good to see you float back around!

Hmmm still going then

Yup i am still around now and again!   

The Galactic Diplomats never die...We just rotate in and out!

Seriously, the longevity of the Galactic Diplomats is one of the reasons I joined back when my old empire died out.

I started up my follow along game over in our forums. Here's hoping I don't screw it up in some major way, though it looks pretty good so far. I'm playing it under my Junta Clown character, mostly because it's a large map and I didn't want to mess with the scores on my primary.

I would like to offer an offical Welcome Aboard to Vilgan.

May you have plenty of spare parts for your Yor toaster manufacturing facility and don't forget to forward the legs over to the BBQ place down the street!

All, we have a new member.

Please welcome CraigHB to our merry band! Craig has been a long time player and a long time poster on the forums. It's great to see him on board!

Good hunting!

Welcome to The Diplomats Craig.   Good to see you back playing again.

Nice to see you Craig!

My last game homeworld: -
