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.

Ray, EBZ requested it - he and I are having a running gag re master and disciple. I don't mind playing along, mainly because it's a beginner's level strategy - what harm can it do? Most of the heavyweights are playing painful gigantic.

I am envisaging a whole plot line about being a Disciple of the Way....

Do I have to be an AOL subscriber to use AIM? Or do I use AIMM? (Blast - too confusing for me...)

However, I've actually come to the realisation that I could enjoy, in some small way, humiliating another person or group of persons. Or if you want to call it something other than humiliation, fine. Its so cool to be cock-o-the-walk though.

Wombat-

No, you don't need to be an AOL member to use AIM. My family switched from AOL to another provider last year but we can still use AIM. What a relief, because I would have lost dozens of contacts and nicks of people I had met over the years. The other day I reactivated an old nick I had not used for two years. Either way, it's well worth the DL.

Hmm, those were the days where GROSSers poured scorn on other empires for posting their strategies in private forums.

Aim isn't a private forum. Nor is icq, They are instant message services. We have no forum other than this one. But we are getting a webpage with neat stories and stuff so we don't clutter the heck out of stuff here.


And quite frankly, with all the crybabying and namecalling that went on from fellowship members and others the last time EBZ posted his strategies here, I don't blame him for keeping mum. I'd like him to post it here, but it's his call. Maybe he'll post it after we reach a million.


Ok Killa. You're the Warchief for this one. HEHE. We don't need a call to arms to humiliate the Fellowship though. We do that on a daily basis :)anyway. But it sure was nice when they were all "Oh it's so great boss, the fellowship boss reaching 100k first. You da man. Only to have Staffa ace him out!!!!!" But he would have done the same to me too. That's why I didn't press night and day to keep up.

No I'll get you the link. It's a gr8 service. Much better than MSN or even yahoo.

But remember this, don't click on any stories in the newslink ticker, just close it. If you're on a proxy server (which is most of us) it goes haywire.

Staffa: the man is a stone cold killer. It is an honour to be in the same empire, I tell ya....

Cirrhosis - thanks very much for the info - I don't tend to use these services much; I just searched and messaged to "EBZeroMatrix" in both Yahoo and MSN; not sure if I succeeded.

Kit: you wish to become a Disciple of the Way? I must start thinking of initiation ceremonies....

Ray,

I'm a pirate who doesn't like the idea of a separate forum, but I'm just one pirate. Currently we don't have an off-site forum and I hope that remains the case. As far as instant messaging/chatting, hey, we (referring to the entire Metaverse) are all connected. G.R.O.S.S. is highly decentralized as far as governing. Thus decrees that are put forth have a tendency to deteriorate over time. The whims of individual raiders (regarding publishing strategies, off-site forums, etc.) pushes the "culture", as someone put it, of G.R.O.S.S. in many directions all the time. And it is time that will show us the true nature of our empires. No, I don't know what my point is, but did you get it? ;)

Wombie (may I call you that?),

No, no, no. I was referring to the one million race. I have my own school of Evil Overlordship. ;)

Oh and Mr. Wombat,

And just in case it is misunderstood by those hot head Fellows, I take no pleasure in humiliating anyone (even if it was possible). I have utterly no intention of causing bad blood between anyone. I have a soft touch for Ray as everyone knows and a deep respect for everyone who reads fantasy.

Nonetheless, I know Ray the Wanderer is deeply competitive and will clearly enjoy getting his Fellowship to 1,000,000 first. So, I will attempt to play a game before the whole issue is decided in the next few days!

Oh don't back off now Killa. It will be utter humiliation for the lot of em if they don't get to a mill first.

If we don't it's obviously because we have lives. :) LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Why don't you try AIM, Killa? We can have a big pirate hoedown! :D

And to all, don't worry about things being taken away from this forum. I've noticed how IMing is too different a format for that to occur. :)

I thought that might be the case! LOL

I think we all know this about you Killa - I certainly do, and feel the same way. I do NOT want to degenerate into 'trash talk' but some friendly ribbing stirs the pot and gets everyone interested in submitting and writing!
