I think I've ironed a few kinks out of my suicidal strategy. I'll be returning this round with SUICIDAL scores. My latest suicidal game brought me a option for alliance victory and also a 10-turn race against influence. Them AI never stood a chance.

I have just completed the 15K suicidal game I was telling you about. Score: 15750 Galaxy: Tiny Outcome: Military Victory Difficulty: Suicidal I'll try to enhance the score and re-submit it later. The details are under my "General Hawkins" character(who btw, is now among the top 10 military solar characters). With this same strategy, I'll try a suicidal game on a small galaxy but I'm always procrastinating. :) Anyway, good luck with all your games.

[quote] good stuff from our intrepid commissioner! i hope it's not stepping out of bounds if i add a few points not covered. the Metaverse League ("MVL") is really about more than just playing GC2. there are some features neilo didn't touch on that i think are remarkable. the MVL is about commaradarie . i wouldn't normally call people i meet on the internet, whose faces i've never see, friends. but i'd call my fellow MV-leaguers friends. teams

Bravo! This might actually spread the name. Well done, my friend. As for adding my reason for liking the MVL(this is just one among others): Different style of play: We've never once gotten the settings that we would usually play in. So, basically, it challenges you to play an unfimiliar setup and all the while compete with other players in performance on that particular setting. In fact, here you can challenge the all time #1 champion of the Metaverse: Mumblefratz(also a

[quote] If my previous mistake submission is not counted then I'll do a precautionary game. I was going to do one anyway. I think everyone will be happy enough to accept team c as a 4 man team, hence no need for a back up game. The time allowed to ask someone to play a backup game is hardly fair given that asside from RL, there is less than 16 hours left to play. With the acknowledgement from the rest of the league that team c is just a 4 perso

[quote] As a clarification to the above post for those that may be unaware. Due to a complete lack of communication and contact with a player, that last visited these forums before the beginning of Round 4, the Vice-Commissioner and Rule Keeper have stated that Team E is now considered a 4 man team. Just to be specific that was Doombringer wasn't it? Otherwise it seems the process is working smoothly. Now if I can only get those darn Korx to c

[quote]From Vilgan reply #19 Oct 30 I'd like to volunteer myself for substitution should any other players join the league (since the teams look equally sized atm). I have little to no free time atm, and just don't have the energy/time to get excited about the league atm. If nobody takes my spot, I'll do a quick game of some sort towards the end just to keep the team good. But I would prefer to not be involved until my schedule cools down and I hav

Reply to Metaverse League Round 4 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

This is quite a predicament. Team E is now a 3 man team. However, Motti never said anywhere that it is impossible for him to submit. For all we know, he could be working on a 50K game right now. But just in case, the random number generator has spoken: SilverBeacher You will be required to submit two games. Since you have no games that satisfy the round's criteria, this will be extra pressure but the picking was random. I'd advise first doing your own game and then complet

I think the deadline has been reached. It has been exactly 30 days. And I think we have a record number of non-submissions.

Reply to The MVL and the AltMeta in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Oh bugger, two days. It was just two bloody days... I have an idea. Instead of having the software or neilo or me randomlly select a game. We would ask the team how many games they've completed overall and select the worst one from the non-submitted games. i.e. 4 players in a team, one is a no-show and he has no game completed for the round [I]at all[/I]. Lets say, Mumble and Motti is on that team. So thats a 50% chance that either Mumble or Motti will be picked. If t
