who will reach a million?

from Stardock Forums
Since we just saw the first person to break 100,000 points in the metaverse last night (Staffa, by the way, with 101,294 points, with RayTheWanderer just 30 points shy of 100,000). we should now place bets as to what Empire will break 1,000,000 points first. As of right now, the scores of the top three Empires are:

G.R.O.S.S.......................861269.2 (needs 138730.8)
Fellowship of the Ring..........840491.2 (159508.8)
Mid-Western Confederation.......717205.3 (282794.7)

this is going to be a kinda hard bet, since they all need over a hundred thousand points to break a million, and all 3 empires are pretty successfull in getting new players. my guess will have to be G.R.O.S.S., mainly because i didnt like The Lord of the Rings book, and I fell asleep during the movie :(

Talk about a slim lead...

Fellowship = 1131499.7 points
G.R.O.S.S. = 1130571.8 points
-------------------------------
927.9 point difference!

And let's talk about those free agents controlling the game. There is no draft in this league! This is another situation where top two that stay within a hair's breadth of each other. The old Apolyton-Euro combo all over again.

I hold the record for spotting the smallest lead. Euros (first) led GROSS (second) previously by 0.6 metaverse points.

Congrats to the Illuminati.

Eh, don't you think a Top 10 empire needs their own empire thread?
Reply #82 from Stardock Forums Top
I think i'll start that thread as soon as we show up on the empire map...

i need to get my @$$ in gear and finish my game so that way i can submit it. wont be worth anywhere near as Treylis's games, but it will help the illuminati

we dont have enough people really to have our own thread. we only have 4 members, and our boss doesnt even use the forums anyways, so only 3 people would be using the tread at the most.

well, maybe once we do show up on the map, and we have our own thread, more people will join us. maybe our own thread actually wont be too bad of an idea.

Yeah, I also need to finish the game I'm on, it should be worth a ton of points. I should be able to finish it this week but I wont be able to submit it. I've been on trips for the past week and I'm leaving for another trip tomorrow.

10% is advertisement.

For space pirates, the other 50% is being cool. :HOT:

The new supreme anchorman of the Metaverse is Treylis. The last winner, Staffa, was the bedrock of GROSS, holding at least 50% of the total score at one time (now holding about 9%). The new champ is like the Rock of Gibraltar, currently at about 80% of the Illuminati's empire score.

So I guess you guys are truly like the Illuminati. Your unseen leader wields the most power and his three partners are the visible, relatively benign arms of the consiracy designed to manipulate and mislead the masses, thus concealing the real secret agenda.

Okay, I give up...

Has Treylis ever told you what the slogan:

Ad Astra Per Aspera

Means?

It's got to be Latin, but I only understand the first part, Toward the Stars (Ad Astra).

I'm intrigued!

It means "to the stars through difficulties" but difficulties can be interpreted several different ways.

Excellent! That is a cool motto. Okay, when are you really going to start a Illuminati thread??? ;)
