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.

How did you pirates like our little fun yesterday? ;)

I think most of us were asleep in our grog, myself included. But there is one great thing about a pirate empire: no static borders. We can adapt to changing situations. So we might be pushed back a little on one border, but, who knows, soon we might just surge again and spill over into even more sectors than before. These Ring worshippers may control the Meta at the moment, but the eternal vigilance may be their doom in the end. It is hard keeping all those static borders guarded.

Hey, mateys. Haven't stopped in for awhile, what with RL intrusions and the boom over at the Jedi Republic. But, I saw that Threadzilla was getting close to 3000 posts, and I wanted to do my part to test the limits of Stardock's new servers.

Happy plundering!

Don't do that, you knob. Next, she'll get a hankering for some real duck.

Ahh, she's picked up my scent! :SURPRISED:

Taxes paid. It has been a while since I have typed that! :) It is a decent score for yours truly, over 6600. Not great compared to the 60K maso standard of the today, but ever since when have I played for score?

Gerakken signing off for now. But still always in the background chugging along for GROSS when he can. :)

Pontius and Gerakken, keep trucking. No matter what, you guys have been a great source of inspiration and pleasure for me this year, and I respect your input into a community that can be trying (just like every other one). The Winds of Change are afoot, and the Ides of March are upon us. Thanks for your support and friendship and stories. I've been proud to call you yankees, mates.

If the ANZACS weren't around when I'd joined and If GROSS hadn't been at the top (top 3) then I would probably have joined as i am a Swashbuckler at heart.. and like getting into the thick of things and having a ball

It is nice to see that you empire is still holding together, I cannot imagine what will come to existence if the ANZAC and the GROSS decide to join forces, now you will be talkin to a real MEGAEMPIRE!!!!

No, Phantom is uninsured because no one really knows if this legendary corvette is real. It uses electronic decoys, doubles, disguises and all that other nice Spymaster stuff. The real ship could have been hidden with the garbage pods in the back of the Jedi vessel... Better get that tracking device out. The bounty hunters have a hard time keeping up with me! :)

Ok guys here's the deal. Similar to what was posted on the Posse thread.

We're down to about 10 active submitting members now.

Do we
A. Hang it up
B. Keep on going.
C. Get some new leadership
1. With the same name
2. Different name.
D. merge with The Anzacs.
Begs the question of under what name and who moves, us or they.
e. Combine with the active members of Anzac, and create a new empire.


Your thoughts are appreciated.

Hey, don't complain--at 10, you've still got more actives than we do over in MWC :notsure:

Pontius, What a week it has been in Galcivia.

G.R.O.S.S. is one of the oldest empires in Galcivia and (in my eyes) is PontiusBruinPilot.
Just think of all the water under the bridge since you conceived of, and established, this empire...the pleasure you've brought, the lives you've touched, and the feathers you've ruffled.

But heavy is the head that wears the crown. You've earned yourself a rest from administration and emperor duties. If that aspect of Galcivving is too onerous now, give it away... But stay around. There may be someone-else who will step forward and take on the mantle willingly. Without being overly dramatic, I suspect you will feel a weight lifted from your shoulders (assuming Mrs Pilot lies across your shoulders).

Can we all make it to Galciv 2 ? That is the burning question in my mind. Do whatever you have to, to pace yourself for the long haul. Well, at least until post #3000, which in all fairness is reserved with your name on it.
