[quote]Well, once the MV updates...it is lagging badly atm, you will notice my shiny new medal. I managed to be the first player to get to 250 wins.[/quote] Congratulations are certainly in order! Way to go [B]neilo[/B] that's quite an accomplishment! :CONGRAT: I'm also curious to see that 250 benchmark medal... drum roll please! :LOL:
My current game started out having a mix of Civs. leaning "neutral" and leaning "good" (no evil Civs.). Those alignments have stayed the same throughout the game, but at late game now an event has occurred (not sure of the name, or even if it had a name) that has the "good" leaning Torians adopting a different philosophy towards life and are suddenly leaning "evil". This could be a result of being the only survivng "good" Civ. left surrounded by 2 remaining "neutral" Civs. and
Since getting on the [B]DA[/B] bandwagon, I've found that my success rate for winning games is much lower than when I was playing [B]DL[/B], so I have opted not to submit a losing score to the Metaverse when that happens (ego, pride, etc.) In fact I had to initially drop down a level or two in difficulty from what I was used to. Including the Korath as an opponent in any game IMHO is asking for trouble unless you can wipe them out early in the game. My last game was pretty
Possibly in the "edit my empire" menu it is set to "open", rather than moderated, invite only, or whatever else is listed, but I'm not sure it would grant automatic Senator status though.
Welcome [B]jpeoples[/B]. I submitted a couple of games earlier this month for [B]The Gerontocracy[/B]. I'm still wet behind the ears as far as playing the [B]Dark Avatar[/B] expansion goes, but with what little time I have for gaming, I think I'm getting the feel for it now. I'm not too happy with my scores though... but heh, I still enjoy the game immensely (lot's to learn which makes it fun). I have a large game in the works presently, and if all goes well, I sho
[quote]He's probably surrounded by beautiful virgins looking at us missing him. He's probably LHAO thinking us "alive" folks are suckers and in Hell forced to live in a challenging world![/quote] I was unaware "Hef" had passed also... I will have to re-read some of his classics as well. ;)
Sad to hear of Sir Clarke's passing. I had just finished reading again (my third time) "Rendezvous with Rama" late last night before retiring. I think I will revisit "Childhoods End" now.
Well, it looks like us North American fans of the hit 1967 tv show "[B]The Invaders[/B]" (a Quinn Martin Production) will finally get what we want. Paramount recently announced a May 6/2008 release date (but only the first season , 17 episodes). Do I hear "pre-order" anyone? ;) This comes much sooner than I thought it would... must have been more than a few emails sent to Paramount demanding to know why this series was not released here first in North America over their F
[quote]Hey we have even sacked our Prime Minister before...but don't let that put ideas in your head!!![/quote] [size="5"][B]ROFL![/B][/size] Thanks [B]Neilo[/B], I was just curious as to what was up with that. ;)
I have also noticed that my "Senator" status has recently been removed (not that it matters much)... but that's pretty evil I must say. :(
Hi [B]ghost[/B]. Are you finding that by playing a [B]metaverse league[/B] game every month helps to keep your interest going?
[quote]I'd try harder to do my part, but the game has no respect for folks who don't want to kill all their neighbors [/quote] Hi GW, yes it's too bad the game doesn't reward players by giving them a better score over all for wins other than through military conquest. (:( I've just recently embraced [B]DA[/B] and I am slowly getting into that expansion. I admit I'm a tad guilty of trying to post metaverse games to three (but mainly two) empires... so I may be spreading myself
[B]"Left 4 Dead"[/B] looks very interesting. [link="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=535896"]WWW Link[/link]
[quote]What's up?[/quote] What's up is that it's a sure sign of Armageddon, that's what's up! I suggest removing all sharp objects from pockets, bend over and kiss your butt goodbye, or head for the hills, or better still join "The Tyranny of Evil "http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=empire&id=3046 (better to be on the side of evil when the time comes eh? ;)
These have got to be some of my favourite movie moments by far. These are quotes from those moments. From [B]"Dirty Harry"[/B] Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourse

[quote]We are on track for a December release of the second expansion pack, Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor.[/quote] Heck, even if [B]SD[/B] were to release [B]TA[/B] in [B]December of 2008[/B] would be fine with me. I'm still enjoying [B]DL[/B], and have only played a few sandbox games of [B]DA[/B]... that would give me over a year to get more [B]DA[/B] under my belt before moving on up. <img src="smiles/Laug
Extremely immersive! Wonderfully documented! Very well done [B]xpyre[/B] and I'm sorry I missed this first time around, but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to read this now.
[quote]Well, if you start with that, we'll have to be consistent: colour, armour, neighbour... elimination of the letter 'z'...[/quote] Yeah, I like that group from Texas... "Zed Zed Top".
[quote]No matter what race or alignment you are, the others will all turn on you eventually. The only thing the computer players really respect is your military rating. As Vegetius said, if you want peace, prepare for war.[/quote] Marshall summed it up best I think. In my current game, I'm evil (no surprise ), with two other "evil" races, one "neutral", one "neutral leaning good", and one "good" race. It was easy to form an
[quote]I'm gonna pay for that comment...perhaps i should send him some Fosters straight away....[/quote] Well [B]neilo[/B], umm...as you may know, I just happen to be within spitting distance of Playjeff's burg (give or take 100 kilometers) and I could see that he receives the Fosters with possibly a small travel allowance (Aussie shiraz) thrown in as sort of "danger pay".

[quote]time to start running around naked and singing i guess!!![/quote] Gee, thanks for planting that image in my brain [B]neilo[/B] . But yes, you're right... things do seem quieter than usual, both here and at our "Tyranny of Evil" refuge. Hopefully everyone is hatching some diabolical scheme to further our evil empire's ever increasing stranglehold over the rest of the galaxy... [B]Mwahahaha[/B]! I have
