Good depressing morning Diplomats. If I think back on GCI vs GCII, I think GCI was more enjoyable and playable longer. Maybe one should think of GCII as a warm up for the real game that will come out soon. GCII and the MV together are a depressing combo.
Good morning. I would like to play for fun, but I am still recoverying from two full days of playing only to receive the Treasury bug and had to throw the game away. Not sure I want to start another game real soon.
Ok, I just saw that I was reducing the deficit amount by an amount equal to the net income. So that part is working. But, what it means is that I am debt by 2,138,605,700 right now. I reduce this by 38,616 per turn with an approval rate of 78%. If I increase the approval rate, I decrease the amount of net income, as one would expect because you are lowering the tax rate. The population is slowly increaseing and is at 1.56 T people. At this rate of reduction, I would be back in the black in
Good morning. I would have had one to submit for around 80K if the Treasury Bug had not killed the game.
I am in the end game of a gigantic, all abundant, tight clusters, suicidal game. My treasury was about 500K and my net income was 25K per turn or so. I had completed researching everything (tech victory turned off) so I replaced my research tiles with stock markets as my military was beginning to eat into my revenue stream. After replacing all research tiles, buying a lot of them, but not 500K worth, I finished the turn. The next turn the Treasury was -214........ a very large negative numbe
Yup, I have seen that in several games as well. Two AI, neither expanded more than 8-10 planets and then quit.
Good morning Diplos. No, DaMoose, not dolphins, killer whales on the menu. Gotta keep you snacks lined up properly.
Good morning Diplos. Uh, DaMoose, just don't practice you frenzy attack on the snacks, ...errr... the Diplomats.
The distance is dimenishing - I can now smell their odiferous exhaust - they must have had beans for dinner
Hmmm, posting while in class. My how things have changed.
work? WORK? How do you let that ainterfere with your life?
Good morning Diplos. We have the Orcas in sight now and the Vulcans are ready to attack
Good stuff Chip, taste like chicken
Good morning Diplos. Enjoy every game knowing that you are saving baby space seals from the Orcas.
uh, Weyrleader If you'll be kind enough to check your fuel tanks, you'll notice we siphoned your gas tank when we where along side- You should be running out of gas about... NOW :rofl: We learned our lessons well from CGI - the steady mover is the utlimate winner.
Good morning Diplomats. Steady as she goes and our fuel will last long enough to reach the PQ 40 planted before the Orcas, as they accelerate and run our of gas before they get there.
Oh, I misunderstood you, I thought you said tell that to my real wife
Good morning diplos. Only 3600 points ahead of the Oracas. Submit you 300K point games NOW
Good morning Diplos. Vulcan, you are keeping us ahead of the Orcas, who have mistaken us for a heard of baby seals.
Well, 3rd place it will have to be then. There is no way I want to catch up. The only way to do that is not pleasant for the other person.
Whoot! Someone fixed the DNS and I can now get to the CORE. Withdrawal pains have subsided. This would never have happened on my watch as the PM for the Arpanet back in '85-'97
Next oldest to Vulcan. 64 at last count - and still counting
No one has mentioned it yet, but the Empires collect their own versions of "best strategies" some of which is posted here and there in the open, but some is not and is only available to empire members. The Diplomats have some of the best players in the MV and have a private collection of outstanding strategies, hints, and tips. Some of this is in the open in the empire-neutral threads at the Core (www.thegalacticcaore.com). Drop by and join the Core for a good time chatting with good players.
I am totally confused at this point as to why I cannot get to the Core.
