ANZAC Empire, 'Bridging the Ditch' Thread

ANZAC Empire, 'Bridging the Ditch' Thread

Yes Well... *cough* I was a little tired of posting on the Aussie Empire thread. ;)

*Intentionally cheesy opening Address*

So gather round all you ANZAC Citizens, Lend Me Your Ears... and your games, Forget whether your accent is more nasally than your neighbours and Post those Gigantic Games on Masochistic Difficulty! *pause for applause* Now Begone and play Galactic Civilizations till you starve, then play some more! Think GalCiv, Dream GalCiv, (Breath GalCiv?) ...Be THE GalCiv! and return only when you have defeated the evil intergalactic minions that plague us and halt our advance up the metaverse board.

*cough*

Yup, Let's beat em Guys.

Arrgh Mateys. Guess you forgot to look behind that Asteroid. We're on your six again. LMAO with fresh cargo. Drop your shields and prepare to be boarded, or destroyed.

Charge those Death Ray Zorchers again Gerakkin.!!!

My wife's a fan of the movies - with cable TV she thus has her own cathode ray addiction ;)

The Great Southern Lands are going to triumph, Pontius - now go make trouble in the Euro Empire thread, there's a good fellow.....

Well done ANZACs!!! I can see everyone pulled together at the right time. Whoever is submitting those games tell us how you did it! The Battle of the Coral Sea is going to plan now that those dreadnoughts have come up the rear.

Pontius: Nice try, but until Galciv allows dual citizenship (that would be cool) I will stay united with my Southern mates.

Shields are at 57 percent and holding! Divert more power to the Integrity Field! G.R.O.S.S. are caught in a Blackhole! We can safely pull away!

Oh, I just read my last post and that wasn't a sexual innuendo. Sorry.
By-the-way, I have packed my partner off to Melbourne for the next 3 days and I have Monday off, so I'm heading back to the sparkly Top 25 if it kills me. :CONGRAT:

(All too drunk from plundered wine, Gerakken busts in.)

Curses! Foiled again. I should have been destroying their engines and not plundering their wine! I'll help get you, ANZAC. GROSS have been bested in this round, but we respect our foes and learn from our mistakes.

(Gerakken stumbles out of the enemy thread, mumbling something about the new SSDC and the AAMs in the headlights.)

Steady as she goes. Hold on gunner Gerakkin hang on...

Full warp!!! Break out the blood wine.

Look at my shiny new hardware. #19 baby.

Direct hits, boss. The worthy ANZAC forces are reeling from the devastating hits. Read the scoreboard and play harder, ANZAC foes.

ARR! Ye let yer guard down. The Battle of the South Seas will be ours. Beer, mateys! Me be raiding yer beer now! And after I drink me fill, on to Europe!

(Gerakken leaves the enemy thread, hauling off his looted beer.)

*Profanity* I cannot win on maso now. I started the same game about 12 times and tried every single strategy I could think of...absolute failure. Back to 'crippling' where every alien likes sushi and crispy skinned Torian. :notsure:

It sure has. It has come to my play style a bit. It's alot more balanced. I still like that you can't exploit the game with your trade goods. Makes it much harder. :)

Were Battling all the way to the European Empire. Lets both pass em up.

Seems to be another scoring 'correction' taking place on the Metaverse. I play at the simpler levels and the changes do reach down to us shrimps, but some of the score corrections must have the better players grinding their teeth....

That's great Slitherin! The new scoring actually makes the Metaverse more fun I think, because there will be more movement (up AND down) the ladder as each game is posted. That should keep everyone interested in the Metaverse as a concept. Don't you dare join The Council of Many Colours (as it will soon become).

I was thinking more the Rainbow Warriors.

Hehe, this thread was good enough to make me sign up. Anzac spirit and all. Only thing I'm worried about is I don't smell much beer. Yet...

Now I just gotta get some games to upload, hey? :p

See. Aren't you glad Gerakkin and I raised the level of fun on your otherwise boring thread?

Hmm that name has very negative connotations for kiwis...

LMAO!!....a lesson in how to piss off kiwis! Still Kiwi Greg, it would inspire you against the French contingent of the Euro Empire....

Greetings to TheQuack - and don't worry about the beer, mate...these Americans have no idea how to recognise real beer, let alone know what it tastes like.

I have to agree.
American beer would have to be the worst in the World.

That's because all you get is cheap, Mega Brewed. American Beer.

Why is Rainbow warriors insulting to Kiwi's?

Slitherin. Submitting all your losses doubles the score of your wins each time you do it. So submit a loss quickly.

The 'Rainbow Warrior' was the flagship of Greenpeace (the environmental org) and anchored in a NZ harbour, when French operatives (working, IIRC, for a branch of the French Govt.) blew it up and sank it! Mucho bad blood over this incident - can't remember what happened to the perpetrators.
