Sorry for being flippant. From my ISPs website. "Modem set-up of up to 8.0 Mbps download and 800 Kbps upload." What my actual performance is, I have no idea. I'm running broadband cable in Toronto. And Internet2 is the fastest, it's just not public. Governments and Universities only, and it's an ongoing project. Eventually it will trickled down to us though.
The Internet? It's just a passing fad. :LOL: Set your sights on Internet2.
I think the sports reporters in this city like to drum up the idea every so often. It sells papers. Actually there has been serious proposals to acquire a NFL franchise. Don't see it happening though. Competition with the CFL notwithstanding. And Jesanfafon... I have only 3 words for you. Hurry, hurry hard. ;p (If you've ever watched curling, you'll know what that means.)
Being in Toronto, and a very snowy Toronto at that, there are very diverse NFL fans. Most of us hope Buffalo crashes and burns though, because we want the team to move here. The 1st international team. I'm not holding my breath though.
51 - 14. I am lion, hear me snore. ;) I'm a Packers fan, and my wife's a Redskins fan. Favre throws for 35 miles lifetime. Well 61405 yards is not quite 35 miles, but close enough.

[quote] will someone from Team C (FireBender or otherwise) please make sure Almaric is aware of all this; I'm sure he'll check this thread eventually, but just in case. [/quote] I've sent Amalric a PM filling him in on this, and send him the password to our protected forum on The Galactic Core.

Hi Amalric. Welcome to the league and to Team C. You probably want to hold off submitting a game to this thread until you're sure that's the one you want. You can post as many games as you like to the Metaverse and chose which one to submit in this thread. Also, you should PM FireBender, our captain, for the password to our protected forum on the Core. There you can post anything you like, get feedback, and get goals to shoot for. Again, welcome. (MVL officials, can you rule o
There is something to be said in dictating, for a particular round, what race you must play, and secondly what opponents you should have. For example, in the last round, for an alliance victory, there was nothing said about not creating 5 straw dogs to play against. 5 custom super traders is easier to get an alliance victory with, than let's say 5 core races. I guess that could be argued but... As for mandating a particular race to play, I think it gets players to play with a
Might makes right. You should have a big stick behind your back before you start asking whether they want fries with that. In other words, for any type of victory you should always have a military that can be brought to bare, just in case they take exception to what you're doing. Have you tried building a Spin Control Center and keeping your 10 best ships there? It does an amazing job of making you look a lot stronger than you really are.

[quote] OK. I'll give 1.80g a try. (closes eyes and pulls trigger) [/quote] [color="#FF0000"]BANG![/color] Thud... Metaverse Error 12. I've got the same problem as neilo. I installed the patch though, and it got rid of the pathfinding problem, just not the Metaverse Error 12.
OK. I'll give 1.80g a try. (closes eyes and pulls trigger)
Yeah, well I'm waiting for the official update. Not some zip file that I have to find the correct directory to unzip it into. I'm in the MV League and I don't what to introduce new errors in a half completed game. A game that I don't even know if I'll be able to post due to this Metaverse Error 12. So yeah, I'm not a happy camper either, and I think 1 month should be long enough to fix this. :(
The problem is with pathfinding. A little bit of a workaround is to move your fleet until it has no movement points left. Then click on it and you can set a long distance. However there is a problem with this. If a planet is in the path, the ship will occasionally load into it and never reach it's destination. Or if the planet is not colonized, you get a message saying the ship cannot colonize the planet because it doesn't have a colony module. I hope they fix this soon.
Actually, we don't need another player. We're [B]that[/B] good. ;)
Bring it.
I'm a MVLer. I've played that last 2 rounds and it's been a blast. You certainly do pick up a lot of tips. This last round I felt the need to step up my game. With the help of my teammates I managed to get a suicidal victory. I tip my hat to Dystopic and FireBender. The MVL has certainly helped me really learn the game and step up my level of play.
Don't know whether to start a new thread or not but the mods can move/close this if I shouldn't have. Finished my 1st TA game last night. Here's some of the things I found. I played as the Yor on a medium size map with abundant everything; all opponents active. 1. No crashs. 2. No graphical glitches. 3. Good performance. 4. The only weird thing I found and I don't really know if this is a bug or not, but I've never seen this in DA. When attacking the AI, the moveme
Don't know what to add, but I'm all for the MVL to be included in AltMeta. I have created a new character (4 20) for MVL and only use it for the league, and that character is part of the MVL empire. These 2 things should be a requirement. My 2 cents. Also, if there is anything I can do to help out, count me in.
Here's my submission for Team C, Round 4. Race: Thalan Character: [link="http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=player&id=16316"]4 20[/link] Score: 17170 Years:4 Victory Type: Political Difficulty: Suicidal Map size: Small Alignment: Neutral Later.
I've completed one map on crippling and am presently trying to get a suicidal. The only suicidal I've ever completed was a DL Tech victory, so I'm challenging myself. Nothing much to say about getting my butt handed to me, but I'm here.
[quote] Hi Ferrel. Can you change the spelling of thanx in your future comments. It is 'thanks' not thanx. I appreciate your willingness and cooperation in this matter. [/quote] Yay, I should know better.
[quote] Hmmm.... is it Ferral cat or Ferrel cat? [/quote] Well, the full name is Ferrel Mewler. It's a play on words that I made up when Ferris Bueller's Day Off was in the theaters. I was playing AD&D and needed a character name. Ferrel is a play on the word feral, meaning wild. A mewler is a type of cat. Put them together and you get wild cat. I know, I know, but it sounded clever back then.
