Well, I think I figgered out why that one game didn't post to the Metaverse ... my error, more than likely. I had restarted a Metaverse game (I'm sure it was!) because I made a dumb selection error with the mouse (don't ask) and apparently when I restarted what I thought was a new Metaverse game, I was in such a huff I started a regular game. I think this is so because when I got to the same level of shipbuilding in the following game, none of the ships I had created in the supposed Metaverse game were there. Since I think, not sure, that I gave the ships unique names in that game, they were categorized as metaverse designs or regular designs... Anyhoo, when I completed another game, it posted fine. Just thought it might make some good trivia for a "I stepped on my ***** more spectacularly than you did, ha-ha-ha" post.

Only (about) 35,000 (+-) to get us up another notch on the altmeta, I think! We Are AweSum!



Yeah, come on in. Anyone can join! (obviously, or I wouldn't be here) (Hsst ... Don't tell the Emperor, but we have a Torian 'still in the back   )

We are the Champions, we are the cough ... wheeze ... ehh! Ok, so much for that! Being Numero Quattro ain't so bad. We need more Members! heh heh
Sure, no problem, Boss! [mumble ... der neuen Name des Kochs ist Joe Smith ... der neuen Name des Kochs ist Joe Smith ... mumble]

Watch out Makara! I may have to post eight games to your one just to match your scores but I can DO it!   

It's good to see another empire starting to come together and look like it will be a success. I just want to remind folks about the ongoing vote for two new Metaverse Council (MVC) councilors.

Your vote in this matter will be greatly appreciated. See the Voting for MVC Councilors starts Now thread for details.

Also, over and above simply voting for councilors, the MVC wants and needs the participation of all that are interested in the success of the metaverse. We need your ideas, your support and your approval.

I'm not sure how much, or how little, folks in general know about the MVC and what it is we're trying to do. This is not really the place to go into all that anyway. If you don't already know, just do a search on Council or MVC and you'll find plently of threads that will lead you in the right direction.

Thanks for your interest in the metaverse.

ghostwes, my former emporer got banned so I guess I need to find a new home. I was born almost exactly in the middle of the '60s. If you'll accept a (former?) score-scoffer into the fold, I'd like to join.

And I guess I should mention that I'm one of the first at-large reps to the MVC, although I've been on informal hiatus recently b/c real life hit a most unpleasant and demanding stretch. I haven't had time to stay caught up with the current election threads, but I do encourage folks to vote.

Yes you have, Embird, and thank you very much. I ws just doing a little stumping there because there are still lots of people who haven't.

Yes I did vote. I like to do simple stuff. I need motivation though. I'm such a sensitive artiste! If a simple pic is needed, I could try and do something, if I had an idea to work with. The scrooge toon pic is so cute tho! I like it!

That's awesome, Marshall. Thanks for making that.

Err, how do I get that to show up in my posts? I don't see any way to add a signature file or anything...

Test

Hmm, well that part worked, at least. Will have to keep working on this, I guess.

Marshall, I hate to be a bother, but there seems to be a slight problem with the image. The white horizontal lines that cover the top half of the image seem to go over the character's upper face, where you probably intended the face to be on top. If it's not easy to fix, not a problem.

Here's an alternate banner for you with Scrooge on top of the gloss layer.

The last time I played the Korx, Diplomacy was still a powerful attribute, and I was able to build up enough of a military to fend off the inevitable assault. It helps to have other evil factions in the game for the good guys to kick around, but don't let yourself become too much weaker than them, or they will gun for you early. Try to start fights between other factions. Also, as I do with all evil factions, I built the Mind Control Center very early. Its econ boost always seems to kick in just in time.

Another test ... I got the link for my char from the 'forum banners' link under my altmeta banners on the left side ... it provides bbcode and html in a popup window. TEST
