Metaverse League Round 4

Let the games begin!!!!!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi all and welcome to round 4 and a new season of the MV League. First i would like to congratulate the Celestial Crusaders for their victory in season 1.

A big welcome to all our new players that have joined us. We hope you like the league as much as the rest of us do, and we hope you stay with us for a long time.

Please check out this thread guys, The MVL and the AltMeta, we have been trying to get the MVL into the AltMeta for a while and now we are finally on the road to do this. We do need your support though. It will not be a quick and easy process for Kryo but he is willing to do this if there is the support to go with it. Please drop by this thread and lend your support to this effort.

As most of you know we shook things up for this round with a player draft. For those that we unaware of this i will explain. We have a new team for this season, The Eternal Evildoers/Villainy (not sure yet on the name) and to fill this new team in a fair manner and to try and create a level playing field across all teams we instigated a draft. The captain of each team stayed a member and everyone else went into the player pool.(Silverbeacher was appointed Team E captain).

Each team then had two draft picks each and the rest of the team spots filled randomly.

So here are the new look teams,


(Xei Win Toh has abstained from play until the arrival of TA)

See your captain for the new forum passwords at the Galactic Core.

As the league expands there is a need for more people to help administer and run the league. Here is a rundown of "official" positions.

Commissioner - Neilo
Vice Commissioner/Score Keeper - Firebender
Score Keeper - Silverbeacher
Rule Moderation - Mumblefratz

Also we have two current threads guys, the MVL Round 4 Draft and Discussion thread and the MVL Rulebook thread.

It is in the MVL Rulebook thread that all rules for the league will be kept. Mumblefratz will keep the OP of that thread updated with the current rules as they change across rounds. Bar for a change in the way ties are managed i do believe that the rules are very similar as to round 3.

Without further delay here is the Round 4 challenge,

A Diplomatic Victory(alliance) in a small map with 5 opponents.

Habitable planets - Abundant
Number of stars - Occasional
Number of planets - Common
Star density - Tight Clusters
Anomolies - Common
Asteroids - Rare
Tech rate - Very fast
Minors - random (enabled in DL)

Enable,
Blind Exploration
Mega Events
Super Abilities
Surrenders
Tech trading
and of course all victory conditions.

End of round - Midnight NOV 30 2007 (forum time)

Please guys leave all discussion to the Round 4 Draft and Discussion thread, as to leave this thread free for game submissions. It does get hard to sift through alot of posts to find a submitted game. Thanks.

Well, here's to a re-invigorated league and a nice challenge for round 4.
Good luck all and enjoy your games.

Hi Ferrel. Can you change the spelling of thanx in your future comments. It is 'thanks' not thanx. I appreciate your willingness and cooperation in this matter.

Sorry, but SOMEONE had to respond to that with a smart*ss comment, and I figured it may as well be me.

But seriously, FB and Neilo, get his name right, its right in front of your faces.

Hmmm.... is it Ferral cat or Ferrel cat?
End of quote


Well, the full name is Ferrel Mewler. It's a play on words that I made up when Ferris Bueller's Day Off was in the theaters. I was playing AD&D and needed a character name. Ferrel is a play on the word feral, meaning wild. A mewler is a type of cat. Put them together and you get wild cat. I know, I know, but it sounded clever back then.

I've heard a lot worse character names. I've played RPGs for 25 years, and am actually playing D&D tonight.

Sorry Commish, we're already wrecking the submission thread. I'll try to refrain from now on.

It's inevitable. All in all the dedicated round threads (i.e. MVL Round 3, MVL Round 4 and counting) are probably the best place for conversation that's disposable because once the round is over there's not much need or desire to revisit these threads. They do get to be 200-250 posts long but ces't la vie.

there seems to be something wrong with my computer when it runs galciv2, so I may not be able to submit a game, but I will try.

I doubt anyone here makes 25 million a year, or is named Lewis or Alonso.

This is really off topic, and we will probably get a tongue lashing, however a Formula one race car is closer to 10 million maybe more. Unless you are talking the McLaren sports car, which I would imagine costs closer to an Enzo.

A Chevy Impala. Have one for the wife as well. I don't believe in ostentatious consumption. I've never financed a car in my life. If I can't afford to write a check for it then I can't afford it. Paying interest is a sin.

I could never get into AD&D due ENTIRELY to the naming process. The guys I tried to play the game with years ago were so anal about authenticity, etc. as the Dungeon Master. They wanted elves to be named Lothitenala and barbarians named Lothar! So my characters tended to be picked on and died rather quickly since they were all names like Ben Dover, Pat McCrotch, and the most short-lived, infamous, swashbuckler ever... Oliver Kloesoff.

i don't even drive! i never have, and i've lived in southern CA my whole life (where it's especially hard to live without a car). i'd go crazy if i didn't live in san diego. the center of town is just compact enough that by living there, i don't feel cut off from the world without a car.

It can be tough but I've seen so many people put on airs and live the high life only to crash and burn when they encountered the least little difficulty.

People seem to think that being rich involves expensive cars and homes. A lot of the people you see that you might think are rich really aren't. They may have a high income but a high income is not wealth. Conversely those that are truly wealthy often don't look the part. The rich are rich precisely because they don't let their money burn a hole in their pocket. True wealth doesn't really have to be all that much money as long as you are modest in your needs.

I teach a class at my church on finances and you would be suprised at the number of people who can't grasp that concept. Wealth doesn't usually come from a higher paycheck, in fact, most of the time higher paychecks just cause more debt and less "wealth" due to our human nature to spend what we get and instant gratification.
