read a few messages and I want to expand a little bit on why I join Empires and Jump Empires.

When I started playing the beta of GC for windows I was still playing the OS/2 version of the game. I play for fun and enjoyed this product for many years.


I could stayed as a lone player and I see no reason why I would stop playing GC.

The concept of the Metaverse was added to the game and my way of thinking said so what, but when Paguma asked me to join the CSF I thought why not.

I must admit I had more fun than I thought I would have. The CSF was active and many of us were playing the game.

but...

People naturally get tired of playing the same game and there was only a few active CSF members.

We tried the theme thing.. "Undead"... "Torian Recipes"

but there was only Damoose, Newfy and occassionally Paguma.

Sure there were other players but out of 117 players I a good month 5 people would submit a game.

I was getting tired of trying to support the CSF myself, got tired of the whole concept of a theme and started to think about leaving.

Keep in mind when I joined CSF I really did not have loyality but I did grow attached to the CSF so leaving was hard.

If I was going to playing in an Empire I wanted..

1) An Empire not bloated with 100 players that have not submitted a game in 6 months

2) An Empire without any silly themes

3) An Empire with players that like GC and are still playing

4) An Empire that can take first place in the Metaverse


I have nothing againest any Empire but these four points I was looking for.

The CSF failed on all points.

I concerned the Pirates I really liked the commitment they show to the game. Renegade

but... The pirate Empire seemed bloated and in decline.


The Guardians the most active empire was hard to pass on.
The only reason why I did not join the Guardians is because the really do not need me. Join the Guardians you do not have to compete because you are already the Top Ranked Empire.


The Diplomats were small, not bloated with dead weight, many members were active. I thought we could be the new Guardian Empire.

but

Today there are only a few players left that actually play,
even DW moved on.

So what is left for me to do go join the Guardians, well Newfy who left the CSF for many of the reasons I did is still a very active player and being a Ex CSF teaming up with Newfy seems like coming home in a way.

Will I jump again ?

Who knows maybe, Matthew Downie is talking about branching of trying to build a team to overthrow the Guardians it maybe fun.

Exactly the reason I did not join the Guardians. They are a great club of people but they are already way out in the lead.

I to would like to be part of an empire that is active and not bloated with non active members. This is basically the reason I started the Crazy Canucks.
