:HOT: Welcome to the home of Special Forces. :HOT:

We are an elite fighting unit committed to each other and ridding the Metaverse of alien fiends. Oh, and having a good time, drinking fine beverages and writing hopefully witty stuff. Our leader is whoever bought the last round of drinks, or whoever shot the last alien. We are...Very Special.

Are you Special? Talk to me at [email protected]

I vote Delta Force, with sergeant stipes close behind.
Siege of Centauri
Reply #253 from Stardock Forums Top
The only one who should be wearing a star around here is the CO, you slackers! Drop and give me 20! :D

My vote is also Delta Force followed by stripes. The Delta icon would fit the personality of this empire better. Deltas have a reputation among the regular troops and even elite units like the Rangers of being cowboys who can bend the rules as long as they get the job done. They consider themselves the best and expect to get rewarded appropriately.

Yes, the delta force is certainly adquete. Not a truly elite team, but I can respect the symbol enough, I guess.

I'd have to go with the sergeant stripes. It looks the best as a small icon, but I also don't like the idea of copying the Delta Force logo outright. In the same vein as using ANZAC as a name for an empire, I'm not sure it's legal. In addition, Delta Force membership is a mark of pride, and it doesn't seem appropriate to grab it for a game.

Some pride, Obi Wan, it's just delta force. It's not even a really good unit. It's just well known.
Reply #258 from Stardock Forums Top
AARG! I make that four votes all, with black smoke and Piers to vote. I am a little sensitive to Obi's comment about grabbing a prestigious symbol for a game; Killa and I share similar feelings about the use of "ANZAC" as an empire name. Anyway, lets see what the others say.

You know, Wombat, I must just have to write a story that tells how I forced you to choose the delta force icon. Wouldn't it be less painful to just go with my vote? [evil grin]
Reply #260 from Stardock Forums Top
Hmmm. We do have to take into account Nationalistic sensibilities. If Obi does have strong misgivings because of a reason other than design considerations...
Reply #261 from Stardock Forums Top
I can understand that Killa, Wombie, Obi.. go with the stripes.. There's nothing to stop us looking for others as well, after all we did say we wouldn't be a fixed empire

What, you think this is a democracy? Hell, I'm just letting you all feel good. I'm the only one with the admin priviledges...and it's a military outfit. ;p

Admin privleges can be... transfered. Under duress. Just a thought, you know. Which reminds me, I got a lovely recipe for an iron paw, if you're interested.

Also, everyone must thank Wombat for his assistance. Now I know how to upload an avatar to my profile, and you can all tremble in fear from my new, and uber-scary, avatar. Surrender earthlings!

Not personal misgivings - just a few concerns on how others might see it. I think Piers is a good litmus test on this, as he (a) hasn't voted and (b) is Army. If he doesn't have a problem with it, I have no objection. But I'm still voting for the stripes!

If Killa was so inebriated that he was running, terrified for his life, from Marvin the Martian - a guy that was regularly defeated by a big rodent who often dressed in drag - I want some of what he was drinking. :D Good one, Harel!

I'd have to agree with Obi on the icon thing. An SAS icon might have looked cool, to continue our anzac heritage and all that, but I'd feel a little iffy using it.

Ta - got attacked after 'diplomatic incident' about 70% of way through and took for ever to resolve! Meant took long to finish (even for me) and score dropped as a result. (How do you play games in a short time? Actual/elapsed for me is hours to days!!)

Lt. Harel Eilam,

If you have ABSOLUTELY nothing BETTER to DO?!

Then pick a fight with a DEMIGOD! * Planet CariElf * #273

Than all YOU have to do is ATTACK! me in The G.C. PLAY HOUSE I will be MORE than HAPPY to accommodate your fancies.

THIS Temple was built for worship of the GODS and GODDESS


There will be no FIGHTING HERE.


I'M SURE the Goddess CariElf would be VERY SAD!
If such violence took place in THIS TEMPLE.


I'll just hang around at the The G.C. PLAY HOUSE
With my BACK TURNED and my EYE'S CLOSED! So you can have a NICE CLEAN SHOT WITH YOUR Tavor plasma pistols !

OH! and FEEL FREE! To attack The G.C. PLAY HOUSE with 50 anti-matter missiles

OR perhaps quantum singularity cannon's

Let's see how the STORY gose AFTER you have your FUN! :)

CariElf, a strange mystical planet in the universe. many empires have tried to capture:

* Sgt * Captain the strange planet they call CariElf is on the horizon!

* captain * Ready turbo phasers! set! mass drivers!( sweat dripping down from his forehead. DAZED AND CONFUSED by LED ZEPPLIN playing in the background. )

* captain * FIRE!

( Massive amounts of unbridled energy flashes over the planet! but not so much as a leaf is damaged. )

* Sgt * captain! there is a MAN sitting on a ROCK in SPACE!

* captain * That man may be some type of sentinel for that planet!? Fire on him!

( The smoke clears and the man slowly lifts his head up! )

* MM77 * Greetings Captain Crew, you have a long hard battle ahead of you. rest your crew on our planet.(He smiles)

* captain * What type the witchcraft is this who ARE YOU!

* MM77 * I am president of CariElf. (As he speaks they appear on CariElf)

* captain * DEMON how did you do that! I demand..............( Slowly the captain loses track of reality and find some himself in a euphoric mood.) What's happening I feel GREAT!

* MM77 * That's because you're near our goddess VISCOUNTESS CariElf. come to the gathering room some call it the CariElf fan club.

( the captain sees members of many warring empires laughing and drinking have been a great time and feels compelled to join IN! )

* MM77 * The CariElf fan club is a place on CariElf where people from all empires come together let their hair down and have a good time and give praise to our VISCOUNTESS. All are welcome. The CariElf fan club has been very innovative and is said to be the seed that's started the ongoing stories in the forums. Members have left the CariElf fan Club to spread out new stories and tales of wonderful adventures, As you will! But they all come back from time to time to pay their respects. And recharged for new stories and concepts! And just to bonds with their G.C. family! we are all just one FAMILY.

( MM77 Rambles on to say the CariElf fan club is always there when you needed it. You may not always see it because of its mystical powers, BUT it will always be there, PLANET CariElf. And with that the captain appeared in space on his ship with his crew with no trace of CariElf.)
