G.R.O.S.S. communication thread.

Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed. In less than an hour we have jumped 95 other Pacifist Doo Gooder victim empires and lept into 40th out of 135 ranked.

We are an evil empire bent on controlling everything and showing all the other empires out there who's boss. US. Are you listening Euro-"Oh lets let everyone be a senator and give em a vote doo gooder democracy alliance?" We come for you.

For a limited time, (untill I decide otherwise) 5 Pure Evil games, (or just impressing me with your game evilness) submitted will get you a Senatorship. Later, being the evil empire pyramid scheme we are, it will take 10. Of course, being the evil empire we are, that gives you no benefits, no pay, but all the alien carnage you crave most.

Now we do realize that sometimes, you just have to fake being good. You sometimes just have to infiltrate that pacifist party. We understand. But we aren't a kinder gentler empire and don't let their pacifism go to your head. And just sometimes, you gotta let the Aliens live (where else would you find slaves for the heavy metal lava mines?)

In the future, we shall update each other in the empire via this thread, brag of our conquests, drink blood wine, and generally just poke fun (creatively and humorously) at those players whom we find to be too goody goodyish.

Our mottos.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

Just win baby.

Here's your ration of skin you do gooder wimp Drengin slime. Now get back to work

EBZeroMatrix you have been made a senator.

I repeat. Cringe in fear, we come for you.

Are you kidding? Rolled newspaper is nothing compared to her weapons. The watery eyes and the forlorn look.

Anniversaries can be fun. Especially when you're young and in your thirties.

Wombie: that was a great score for a small map. :)

Quick! How does Rousseau confront the PLA’s challenges in modernization while the Gesellschaft plods on without Hoffnung? Is it civic religion developing in the ROC’s identity politics or will the Individuum triumph over the CCP? Ach! It hurts! All my exams are overlapping in my Kopf! :sniff!:

So... happy plundering, mateys? :)

One Correction. The Metaverse review's reporter is incorrect and did not stay for the unveiling of the family crest. Furthermore, He need's glasses. The Picture was of Roseanne Barr, not any supermodel. We do wish the meta review wouldn't play so lose with the facts.

I also thank you for the maso tutorial... back on page 17 or so, where I started reading after a 5 month hiatus. Populists, Diplo 60, Econ 10, Research 10.... Let the others fight things out, paid off the AI's every few months with influence points and good-for-them tech deals, contantly played catch-up. Then, when the Drengin were being exterminated... three good techs to the Altarians, thanks for the fully-loaded Combat Transport, whoops, thanks fo rthe Drengin world too! Rinse, Lather, repeat on Drengin world 2. Accidentally acquire Drengin world 3 (last) by cultural acquisition. Rinse lather repeat, no more Arceans either. Whoops, how 'bout that, paid through the nose for the Torian transport outside the Yor system, and >Pop< that great sucking sound is me suddenly with control over 2/3 of the Tiny galaxy!

The Altarians rolled over and whimpered, focusing on military tech and threatening me every so often (my military might consisted of 1 dreadnought the Arceans were producing, 1 Overlord the Drengrin were making, and 1 Avatar the Yor had in production, plus a smattering of BattleAxes and a Starfighter). The Torians actually tried to make good on their Tech Lead (and control of most of the Galactic Wonders up to that point), but my Cultural Victory was assured when the first Altarian world crumbled, giving me that oh so convenient not-trespassing-Starbase on the last side of the Torian system. (Ironically, the Torian-controlled ex-Yor colony was the only non-Terran world at the end of the game!)

I love being Evil! Next time, though, a bigger universe, and a little less masochism -- I want to blow stuff up!


(Oh, and congrats on the little Pirate... my newest little one arrived Thursday morning at 3:48am! :HOT: )

Anyone played MOO3 after the patch?

I started playing it before Galciv and liked some of the principles behind the game. Then after Galciv arrived, I realised how it could have been made. Nonetheless I recently downloaded the patch, went to start, and discovered that the CD was not in the box!
I must have misplaced it when I moved.

Needless to say I don't feel like purchasing another copy. I know EBZ was enjoying it...but anyone else?

Also, apparently the X-Box's KOTOR is very good too (if ya like that sorta game).

Man Theoden. It's like humor's been banned in Europe for the past 3 centuries. They just don't get it. Can't understand it. Stuffiest continent on the planet. I don't know if we pirates will be givin the new emporer any more gifts....

Congrats. :CONGRAT:

Not enough pirates? No problem. Our people seem quite willing lately to make more. What else could be expected of an empire that promotes pornography? :)

Sluggy Von Richthofen Part 2.

Part one appears in the south seas thread.

Agent Ray :HOT:
We have them.

Agent Vincible :HOT:
The Sentinals are ready.

Agent Gengsta :HOT:
Oh how Generic, order the strike.


Later that day.

Agent Ray. :HOT: Did none of the sentinals come back?

Agent Vincible. :HOT: Not one. I think the Pirates got em. We have a partial transmission from one of the sentinals. It says Disabled, Help Pirates!!!

Agent Gengsta :HOT: The Generic Pirates again. How Generic.


Meanwhile, aboard the Doom.

Pontius: Did you get the log out of this squiddy? What destroyed all 12 of them?

Cassiopia: The log contained but 8 words. Green ship Abandon all hope. Die Humans Die.

Pontius. Scrap the squiddy for parts. I'm sure Gerakken will have a use for it. Meanwhile, beam its brain out into space and destroy it.

Pontius sat in the captain's chair. They had just installed seat belts. A 20th century technology lost in the 22nd century for some reason. So this Sluggy Von Richthofen wasn't a myth after all. But how did it get from a distant Galaxy over to Geektrix territory so quickly??? And I thought The Geektrix complacent towards the aliens... What gives that they should be attacked? These Torians would have to be watched.

It's been over 15.5 hours since Threadzilla has been fed. Anyway, I can't post a score since I upgraded to 1.10A.073. Every game so far has ended in a 0(within the game, so you can bet I'm not posting them). WTF, I mean, Arrrrrrrrrr.

Finished a Painful Large. Only achieved evil in the last 14 months of the game -- not enough alignment events.

Couple funny things... 1) The Fundamentalists showed up *way* early in the game and destroyed the Drengin and Yor long beofre I ever got near their territories. Never met 'em. The Arceans only had 1 world when I found them, and I didn't let them keep it!
2) About 80 turns after I absorbed the Torians :d ... a message popped up saying a bloody revolution had occured, and the Torian alignment had now changed to Pure Evil! Well, duh! That's 'cause they were part of a new glorious GROSS empire! ;)

Will submit it tonight.... only 10k score... stupid Altarians caved all of a sudden when I got Near Omnipotence. [Course, colonizing a class 13 dwarf star with 20000 people in the middle of their territory might have had something to do with it... suddenly all those Party Palace starbases sitting just outside their borders had a nearby huge world to magnify instead of worlds more than 8 sectors away!]
