G.R.O.S.S. communication thread.

Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed. In less than an hour we have jumped 95 other Pacifist Doo Gooder victim empires and lept into 40th out of 135 ranked.

We are an evil empire bent on controlling everything and showing all the other empires out there who's boss. US. Are you listening Euro-"Oh lets let everyone be a senator and give em a vote doo gooder democracy alliance?" We come for you.

For a limited time, (untill I decide otherwise) 5 Pure Evil games, (or just impressing me with your game evilness) submitted will get you a Senatorship. Later, being the evil empire pyramid scheme we are, it will take 10. Of course, being the evil empire we are, that gives you no benefits, no pay, but all the alien carnage you crave most.

Now we do realize that sometimes, you just have to fake being good. You sometimes just have to infiltrate that pacifist party. We understand. But we aren't a kinder gentler empire and don't let their pacifism go to your head. And just sometimes, you gotta let the Aliens live (where else would you find slaves for the heavy metal lava mines?)

In the future, we shall update each other in the empire via this thread, brag of our conquests, drink blood wine, and generally just poke fun (creatively and humorously) at those players whom we find to be too goody goodyish.

Our mottos.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

Just win baby.

Here's your ration of skin you do gooder wimp Drengin slime. Now get back to work

EBZeroMatrix you have been made a senator.

I repeat. Cringe in fear, we come for you.

Pontius don forget that your daughter is still a "guest" in my ship, and she is fallling in love with Darth Kryo, so I will suggest that you use your cloacked ships against the EUROs and not us, we have the sequence code used for your claocking devices!!!!

Well since I fathered half the meta characters via dr quinn and the other half via cassiopia, there's probably tons of my daughters and granddaughters in every empire. Although that may have been in another iteration of the geektrix.

Deadline for signups is tomorrow. Contest occurs Saturday. She's already getting some of the practice hobbits. Although the Darth Kryo TV dinner version isn't quite as good as fresh.

Whoa...post #3333 is only a few away!! What a feat!

EBZ: in regards to the Top 5 or Top 10 most influential events...I'll certainly start thinking about that! It might be interesting to start a thread so that everybody can give their own. You've got to figure the Iraq war will be in most everybody's list, no matter what country you live in! But there could be some big differences from the US versions and, say, the Australian versions.

Oh, yes...

The Metaverse Review has learned that there will be a demonstration outside the Hobbit Tossing Contest by the group P.A.T.H. (People Against Tossing Hobbits). This group, which is 4 strong, intends on the disruption of the festivities and plans several news conferences arguing against the unnecessary flight of halflings.

Well it was supposed to be GalCiv-specific only. However, bad idea, scratch it, since I'm sure it'll cause a lot of animosity amongst other Masoversers. Also the fact that it's more of a matter of opinion rather than anything else.

HOWEVER...

I would liek to see a timeline of the year with all the highlights of the Meta/Maso and what has been going on in here too. Or even a list, so no one gets left out.

Unfortunately, this reporter was unable to contact them as they too became practice Tossees.

Oh, whoops! Now that would be an interesting list. I know about half of the people would list your Cranking Guide as one of the Top 5! Don't know if it would be good or bad on their lists, though! LOL Either way, your Cranking Guide helped mold the Metaverse into what it is today.

You're right, those lists might start more trouble than they're worth. Dredging up the empire troubles of a couple of months ago would not benefit anybody.

Well a list is feasible, however, it wouldn't need to be in any kind of order. It could be the top 1000 for all I know, but I think there should be some kind of list out there that notes all the major things that has happened. I thought of a timeline, going through posts, etc... but it would take forever. Unless somone really did wanna do it...but the list can be random, so that people won't get all upset thinking what they did should've been #1. I figured that listing everything in order from the approximate time it happened, to the best of knowledge would be more defined, and easier than something at random.

Just something to think about...

Hate to break your heart, but I rarley see anything worth reading in there. Besides, it's just me, ONE person...why does it matter? Even so, I am interested only in news about GROSS, and even more, me (there goes EBZ's ego, lol...).

I didn't mean to sound rude or anything, but it's just too mainstream, and it doesn't support my views or interests at all. And it just seems too FOTR-based...and I don't even wanna get into that. I have no problems with you Theoden of Rohan, I think you're a cool person, maybe if you joined GROSS, then my interests in the Meta/Maso Inquirer would change a bit.

I just don't support the Maso in the way it is, and how I seemed to have been punished for the GCCG. I am a FIGHTER, and fighting, I must...for the GCCG(II), for Threadzilla, for the METAverse, and most of all, for GROSS...forever! Those of us that have been in for a while, the boss, me, and the spymaster know what it is liek to have true empire spirit and loyalty. There are those that will always be on our side supporting us from other Empires, and even those that are 'deceased' i.e. Staffa, KitWarrior, and even our laziest pirate on firewatch CoffeeDragon...and I know I missed a few others, so don't think I forgot totally, but I havent been here in a while. Well I gotten off-topic with my ramblings. Once I get my site up and running, I'm gonna d/l threadzilla (hoping not to excced bandwidth) and chart out a timeline of important events, as well as some commentaries and news about what GROSS really is, if anyone really didn't or forgotten the history of this great empire.

I tried to keelhaul him for G.R.O.S.S. laziness, but he's so lazy he didn't even wake up to beg for mercy. Talk about least satisfying keelhaul.

EBZ: At least you're honest! :D No problems, there's always a critic out there! Sometimes the best review you can get is the bad one!

I'm glad to see the loyalty you guys have for G.R.O.S.S. Trust me, I really didn't like seeing you guys drop off the map. And I really, really didn't like seeing you disappear. I'm glad you're back and I'm glad the pirates are clawing their way back up. The GCCG helped many be better and I saw nothing wrong with it. I know you hold a lot of bitterness over your treatment from some people and I don't blame you for that. I'm looking forward to seeing the newest version of the GCCG and a history of Threadzilla sounds great!

Pontius: Sorry to hear you're sick again. Take care of yourself and get well soon!
