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.

A virtual beer! :D Thank you Quack. And to add to this virtual experience, I'm going to finish off this Sauvignon Blanc. I prefer the light, sweet flavor for brunch. Hmmm... perhaps I should eat something too...

Great Scott, this man's been away from the pirate ship too long. Tie his butt to the mast and have EBZ pour some Jack Daniels down his throat, pronto! :d

Good to see you back, Kit! The old warriors are returning...

I can’t get this song out of my head...

“Sometimes it’s hard to be a pirate
Giving all your love to just one beer
You'll have bad times
And it'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand

Stand by your BREW
Give it a gullet to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your BREW
And tell the world you love it
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your BREW

But if you love it you'll forgive it
Even though it's hard to understand
And if you love it
Oh be proud of it
‘Cause after all it's just a beer”

(:(

Talk about a "cry-in-your-beer" song... LOL

It's a "cry-about-your-beer" song... At least it's better than a "beer-gone-wrong" song... LOL

Well, I finally tried out a game on 1.11... Only Painful, and got a clear lead with 4 yellows in my corner of the map, and everyone else in the opposite corner fighting for position. "Accidentally" went to war with my main "ally" the Torians when I wiped out the Altarians in a single assault (seems they found some ancient artifact that published bad prophecies). Ooops ;) Suddenly 80% of their worlds were visited by Dreadnought Quads and Transports (gotta like 48 to 2 odds!!!), and teh last world caved in. NEver built a single Culture starbase mod (totally unlike my normal game), and still got a cultural victory (darn it!!).

I'll try to throw another one together in a week or so.

EBZ here. Soon I'll have my website up. Within a few day's I'll have internet at home and I'll upload the NEW site. Well it won't look much different, but it's going to have all brand new content in it, especially about the GCCG(II). I am very excited to hurry up and get it online for you guys, because there's so much on it, and the GCCG(II) is much, much more in-depth. Well I'm not gonna say anymore, and I'll let the anticipation of it all run its course.

When it's all up and running, I'll make a seperate thread for it so everyone knows, so keep checking back for these next few days to see what it's gonna be all about!

I played a Tiny Crippling game and lost. Was trying to man enough to submit the loss (points is points!), but MEtaverse refused to accept it. Apparently, tales of Pirates and G.R.O.S.S. members losing just aren't believed! :D

(Was an interesting game, too, with a rookie mistake. Started in a corner with a Class 17 world, the Alexians in my system, a Research resource in my system, an economic resource just south, and a military resource just east. Rookie mistake: grabbed all three resources, forgot about the $10/starbase charge, and tanked my economy. The Torians were the only race with a second world, and they expanded quickly. But the *Alexians* were the race that built almost every trade good and wonder! Got into several wars (by being a victim), but was helped out by the Torians and Altarians until my Chaotic Evil nature showed through in multiple random events. Got a reprieve just before my ultimate loss when my Lucky trait popped up a Ranger as hordes of frigates and battle cruisers came my way. He did heroic duty (boosted by my 1 remaining, maxed out starbase), slaughtering hordes of enemy vessels, but was eventually destroyed while in space dock by 14 Arcean battleships.... And Sol fell three turns later.)

Submitted another Tiny, though, for another 8k. Me, the Alexians, and the Torians all started in the same system, with the Drengin and Yor in the system just north. Sol actually had a class 15 world along with Earth, and the Class 14 I colonized in the Drengin/Yor system got a +29% Planet Quality event! I tried a Class 13 and Class 14 in my home system, and the 14 got bumped up to 21 from a +39% event (the class 13 got me a whopping +2% starship bonus). I quickly outstripped the other races... and then the Altarians, on the other side of hte map, surronded by the Carinoids and empty stars, got a Precursor event I haven't seen before: every world within 2 sectors gained a +16 CLASS bonus to planet quality!!! Not 16%, a flat +16!!!

Suddenly the Sol stardocks shifted from Constructors to Batleships (purchased from the Carinoids for Frictionless clothing, 1d Phasing, and 636 credits) and Combat Transports. The Carinoids colonized 5 Class 20+ worlds before I got there, but they were extinguished two turns later. And the Altarians, who had culturally controlled 90% of the galaxy up to that point, were extinguished two rounds after that (had to let the battleships repair). Game ended with cultural victory before I could finish off the other three races...
