Oh, and thanks to Ambassador Eradicus, the metaverse version of the PGC logo has been brightened up somewhat.

EDIT: Spelling error corrected...

It looks very nice now! Congrats!

Senator Anton is no sooner out of the hospital wing than he is back in action, spreading his own brand of twisted pleasure to yet another corner of the galaxy, increasing the influence of the PanGaea Cooperative so that we are now ranked in the top 25 Empires...

"Ah! This is the life" he thinks to himself, as he relaxes in his private quarters on one of the Terrorstar Party palaces, attended by three human pleasure slaves who message his back and feet whilst he watches the new Altarian dancing slave he had trained up in Egyptian belly belly dancing. Soft colour changing mood lighting and sensual smelling incense add to the atmosphere of relaxation and celebration. Soon he thinks, this senate is going to need another senator...

Thanks Theoden, its good we got the logo sorted before we entered the top 25 empires...

Good work emperor.I should add several almost finished games this weekend,including one spoken of previously.
Good score on latest one added.I should be making my bid for senate soon as well.hold down the fort til the cavalry arrives.

I might be able to add another game this weekend myself. It will be as well that we do if we want to stay long in the top 25...

Okay, just made some updates to the PanGaea Empire site, moved the history lesson to a seperate page for a more friendly introduction, and added a new page, with new artwork, about our PartyPalace TerrorStars...

All to celebrate our entry into the top 25!

Oh, I really should put a direct link to the website on this thread shouldn't I! Here it is...

http://www.kiamagic.com/pangaea/

Your website is funny! I especially like the Terror star PartyPalace brochure! LOL

Just as a note, the Knights Templar did not worship the Baphomet.

Check out this site: http://www.templarhistory.com/baphomet.html

I know, the famous Baphomet picture was from the 18th century and drawn by Eliphas Levi and has nothing to do with the Knights Templar. However, the name 'Baphomet' is written in the inquisition records in conection with the Templar trials. They were accused of worshipping a deity/devil by this name. (The church used the term devil for any deity that wasn't their god). It is also a perfect Essene cypher of the name Sophia, (wisdom). So if the Templars didn't know Baphomet at all, then the people accusing them must have obtained the name from somewhere else, which is even weirder...

Truth is always stranger than fiction...

I've just had time to check out your templar link. Interestingly I came across that same site earlier today searching for pictures of templar skull and crossbones. All I found were pictures of the skull and bones on templar gravestones.

Couldn't find the reference to the fleet flying that as their flag. But they did sail free and some of them ended up joining a Scottish fleet in the islands. Apparently some knights ran a Scottish island for Robert the Bruce.

In a bizzare twist my partner has claimed that her family tree down one side of her family was traced to Scottish pirates. Don't know if there is any link or connection though...

Anyway, I knew our first visit to the top 25 wouldn't last long, so we have work to do to get back up there...

Actually, I don't know what came over me there. It'll be fun extending our influence to regain our position in the top 25!

Nice work! This is a great theme...

Thanks Cypher! I'm glad we're getting noticed. I plan to add character information/story to the website also when I get the chance. This will be for senators and overlords of the PGC. I'll be doing more sketches and artwork also, as the mood takes me.

Also, when I've had a chance to really explore them, I'll offer exchange links to other empires with their own website. But they'll have to be cool websites. I'm not going to link to something that is anti-pleasure or nationalistic/statist.

Anton reclines in his private party room, being attended only by a message droid. He has just returned from a campaign of pleasure extending PanGaea's influence across a 'large' part of the 'metaverse', returning the joyous cooperative to the top 25 Empires.

What is more, he lost not a single ship, nor did he destory a single ship. Nor did he go to war with any major race at any point. They were all won over by party palaces, water parks and trade.

Ah! What it is to be the leader of an empire of hedonists!

Just as he is relaxing, a message flashes up on his paging device. He smiles, it seems Eradicus has passed his initiation and is now a senator...

Well the promotion at last.I have waited for this day for eons and now ,it has finally come to pass.I must visit the Emperor at his private Party Palace before I return to Earth and thank him personally.

Anton check email for update

"God created man and man created God. So is it in the world. Men make gods and they worship their creations. It would be fitting for the gods to worship men." (Logion 85: 1-4)

[Eradicus's personal thoughts]

So ,now I have almost attained godlike status in this universe.Maybe those alien races are starting to see the true power of man.I thinks its about time to come face to face with the Emperor and discuss the global plan of peaceful conquest of all inferior races.I'm looking forward to visiting the grandest of all Party Palaces in the cosmos.

"This is it .The day I finally meet the Emperor" I thought to myself as the USS Hero pulled up along side the most elaborate party palace of all in the universe.From what I've heard from other crew members this Emperor knows how to throw a party for anyone.It looks like he spared no expense when designing this one.

"All hands prepare for docking" was heard over the intercom.

In a matter of minutes I will be paying homage to our new leader.I wasn't present on Earth when our faction split from Illuminati so I hoped to learn of its up and commance from the Emperor himself.Oh ,sure I've heard rumors here and there but not the whole truth.

"Why does my stomach feel like its in knots?"I'm returning home a hero for vanquishing the Drengin,but why do I feel quesy?Maybe its just the travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.That was a long journey compared to most I've undertaken in the past.

As the USS HERO docked a thud was felt thruout the ship as both hulls met for space lock.

I returned to my quarters to gather the items and reports that I needed to give our intel division onboard the terrorstar and to prepare for my debriefing with the Emperor.

As I walked thru the passageway leading to the meeting room,I passed by many new pleasure rooms,shops with many trinkets for sale and I knew my destiny was at hand.I would receive my garments and decorations to show that I belonged to the PGC senate this day.Hmm,
maybe I'm just nervous as this day marks much more responsibility and pressure for me to deal with.I have passed the initiation rites that the Emperor had threatened death to anyone that reveals these most sacred trials.

When I finished my business with the Intel division I headed to the Emperors private reception area for senators and foreign dignitaries.Up ahead was the doorway to my fate.Before I went thru I said alittle prayer for strength and courage to accept my new post as best I could.

"Well, this is it..."

Anton relaxed in his chamber, and plugged in the VR Modules. These were linked up to an android replica he would be using to meet with Eradicus. The man seemed loyal enough, but there was no point in taking chances. They would never really meet face to face. The android was also made to look very different to himself, so that he would never be recognised. He used it for all important meetings, with the press, with politicians, warlords, and foreign diplomats. He was taking no chances.

He met his pleasure slaves in person, but he used an assumed name with them. They served him well, but had no idea who he really was, thinking him just a rich businessman.

His true identity was hidden from all, yet nobody would have even suspected. Not even his closest advisors! Of course, the man that designed the face had to have his memory erased, but that was easy enough. All records of the project were carefully destroyed.

Anton entered into the VR, and suddenly he was in control of the android body, experiencing, seeing and hearing a whole different room of the PartyPalace.
A monitor screne showed that Eradicus was about to arrive...

Ah, so I see that you hedonistic warlords have determined to make a more permanent place in the top 25 empires. Well, two may be company, but three (or more) is a party! Have you thought about installing tractor beams on those party palaces to draw in the more reserved folks? There are 111 players cruising the top 250 of the Meta with no empire to call their own. Time to go fishing.

Maybe we should send out some brochures, or party flyers or something. Thats a lot of empireless players. Of course, they might be people that like the game but have no interest in empire related matters...

...personally I like the sense of community and chance to build a story.

I posted small appeal for new players in pitches for new recruits thread to see what kind of fish are in the sea.

Anton looks like berserk joined obi-wan school empire
