[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="14" id="2004845"]InfernalRS, the Gerontocracy most certainly has room (and need) for geezers devoted to goodness. Plus, since our emporer went on RL-driven hiatus, we can't even pretend to limit our membership to folks who've had thirty or forty birthdays. All we really 'require' is that you be old at heart and post a game or three every year or two. Availability for hollering from the porch at various entities moving in and out of the rest home yard is a plus.[

[e digicons]o_O[/e] was never an MMO addict myself: i saw that from the other side of things. my brother was an EQ addict for years. then he got a girlfriend. er, a girlfriend who WASN'T in EQ (which is to say, who wasn't a creepy old man in RL).

bookmarking for my replies. Silverbeacher and I had discussed a complete overhaul mod designed to tweek many aspects of the game. that fell by the wayside, but in time my interests might be rekindled.

bookmarking for my replies. i would also encourage anyone with questions to be as specific as possible. the veteran players are usually very happy to help answer questions that won't take a dissertation of a response.

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

no problem. it really seems the Kzin and ToE (and allies like the Geckos) are the major inheritors of the MV legacy: i'm glad that we have a friendly rivalry, and i'm happy to help out any (fair) players still into the game.

it was explored primarily in the Voyager ep "Threshold." though i use the term "explained" loosely. Transwarp is a catch-all for speeds greater than warp 10 (or propulsion methods capable of it). using cochrane's method of FTL travel (at least for humans, it's cochrane's method), warp 10 means infinite velocity. also note in TOS they were using a (retroactively explained) different scale of warp, so in the few instances they say things like "warp 13", it roughly means warp 7 or so in

hey furballs [e digicons]:borg:[/e] i just wanted to let y'all know that i'm starting a collection of links over on the ToE site. the idea is to gather some of the most useful and interesting posts related to GC2 (mainly from these forums, since they're so difficult to search) into a single place that we can all share. it's definately a work in progress, so any help from the more experienced players here would be much appreciated. and for anyone still learning, we might be

[quote who="Cypher" reply="14" id="2003443"]I'm not too sure about what you all mean about the MV not working. Since it apparantly isn't, should I stop playing MV games and hitting 'Post to Metaverse'? Am I just wasting my time on games that won't count? Every time I post, I get new medals and stats, and my score keeps going up, so I know that at least that part is working. I assume that you guys mean that the MV isn't updating the scores for the Empires, correct? Thanks.[/quote] the

Cypher, the best thing you can do is chill. i'm not saying that because i'm opposed to drastic action, but because i've seen how SD and other groups of people react. it's a losing battle - and if you really piss off certain people, you could be banned from these forums entirely. we've all tried to list our dissatisfactions to SD - diplomatically and otherwise - and we've had some successes but mostly met brick walls and needless insults. besides that, they're a pretty good chance you won't ac

i think there will be a core of dedicated players for quite some time. however i don't think these forums will come back to life, as you say. that has a lot to do with several decisions stardock has made, most notibly the "cross-posting" across all their threads. those of us who are just here for one or two products fine it very un-nerving. as for the metaverse, i think they're get to it eventually. i just think it's a very low priority for them. and to be totally honest, these are so

who said it's not our plot to suddenly overtake the kzin when the servers are finally fixed?
