Just played a medium rare galaxy - 9 opponents, 1 random (Dark Yor race). There was not a single extreme environment planet of any sort - is that a statistical oddity or a bug?

Rule suggestion for ROUND 4 (definitely not ANY changes for the current round) - Any game submitted in the submission thread is counted - if it has the wrong settings you get less points. Games of the wrong kind can not be counted as fastest/highest score - neither individually nor as part of a team average. They are just left out of that. (Just imagine mumble submitting a 800k game with the wrong settings: That would be -1 for wrong kind of victory, +1 for highest score, +2 for hi

And ok, sorry Butterfly, I'm done hijacking your thread now.... Well, altmeta is online. Altmeta will be even betta (talk about lousy rhymes) when I start my "butterfingers" character for the next round and remove "the_butter_flies", which has also non-league games on it and therefore messes up the statistics right now. Still - I have to wait till all the results are counted...

at fire: This means the MVL leage empire is registered at altmeta, so your altmeta characters show up there with their current score - and maybe maybe the empire as well one day. at silver: now we have it white on black - you are a worthy crusader!

I think they are as dead as it gets - I joined with á 100k character recently, which made them #1 for a day or so, I said hello nicely - and there was no one there who even noticed: I mean there are inactive charceters still and a few active ones (Ferrel), and they still show prominently on the altmeta, but I guess the more games you have the less MV impact you have. Sad, anyway...

I have two layouts depending on galaxy size, because I only build transports for big maps (for small ones I buy or I forego it altogether). - for the colony rush I need four factories: While building #1 I buy 2,3, and 4 (That's one speedy colonizer every other turn). After colonization I use my production capacity to build early key wonders: economic capital (lots of early population s on the homeworld), dipl. translator, restaurant, X.-hulls, Cristals, TirQuan and evil buildings (for evil

Well, about 30-40% of the league have joined. Guess, I have to thank you. You may be wondering about my own character - which is a mix of MVL games and others. I am not being an example here - but when I played my game (nearly a month ago now) - I hadn't totally grasped the concept of multiple characters myself yet. For round 4 there will definitely be a new butter character that is league only. I will then remove the_butter_flies from my own empire (because scoring is not the

. It is just a matter of selecting which character to submit the game with when you set up a Metaverse game. Actually, you are quite right. I think I will return with the_butter_flies when this MV league round is over (mid October) - then I can make a new character specially dedicated to MV League games. Right now I have to leave the_butter_flies there, because of my league game which is under that character's name. It seemes odd to me at first not to ha

Of course, not everyone has a character dedicated to the MVL but It would be a good advantage if we could do it this way. Actually I am going to invent a new character for round 4 so I don't have to put my mixed character in - although it is good for now because a top 50 empire is easier to find. It took me some time to figure it out - otherwise I would have done this earlier

Evil is bad Which is why the TOP 10 players are mostly evil. A +100% to your economy is like the most unfair thing in the world (plus the free invasions, plus the bonus on military - which is difficult to use because you can't use the 99% civ setting but still...). Than there is the weapons (evil beam is a bit more expensive but way ahead of its time) - plus as it takes a while to built up for evil most of the civs do not even have proper defense i

So I've sent invitations for all the characters that were in round 2 of the league. The Newcomers will have to tell me their character names one by one if they want their secondary characters in the league empire. Again, this is not my take at building a glorious empire in the first place (although a good ranking certainly won't hurt our leagues publicity - but an attempt to store all the information in one place with little interference by communication - as is unavoidable in forum thr

Why, there are even folks that would advertise a new empire in the League results thread like the following. Kind of amusing that both quotes were posted by the same guy. Actually, the idea of keeping this website clear and simple is behind both ideas. This should make referencing easier for neilo and fire - they can find all the games played in one place. We will never get this thread clean (I am adding to the problem right now), but at least we have

So you've got a secondary character for the MV league and do not know in which empire to put it? Only then are you welcome to the new MV League empire. Please do NOT join for other reasons. This should kind of give you the possibility to see how your characters do and it should make referecing easier for neilo and fire. You should also be aware that this empire will never see any gold medal - because it is there for games on smaller maps without all-abundant settings. While

Dear fellows, I am retiring from the world stage to my own little empire - the MV League. This is not due to any dissatisfaction with one of the most deserving empires in the galaxy - yes I am talking about the big G here - but because I think an empire is needed to accomodate all those secondary characters from metaverse league games and I cannot but be an emperor in an empire that does not include my own characters as well. It is a dreary and a dreaded farewell. Wishing you no

Please accept the empire "MV League" into altmeta. I would really hate to lose my 1st place (in a lousy category, but still). Thank you!

Hey guys. I know this is not normally a place to advertise a new empire, but I just built one. It's called th MV League. It does not aspire to greatness, but it is a good place to hide away all those secondary little map characters you use for the league. I'm also asking mumble to make it altmeta-fitting because I do not want to lose my #1 position there only because I join my own empire.

1. Rule suggestion for round 4: - Anyone who posts anything but the task or a result in the result thread gets a credit deducted. We can have other chat threads. I just have no clue who has posted and who hasn't. Confusing for me - but painful for those counting together the results.
