[quote who="jacklv" reply="22" id="2046814"] Makes your score all that much more impresive, that you didnt use Swindle tactics. don't misunderstand, I'm pleased. but I think we both know, in better hands (and maybe a better rig) this map could do 7 didgits. Can you imagine being the Evil Twin with 946 and not being able to upgrade/save all your ships? now thats a REAL b*tch [/quote] Admirable humility, but al

Thanks for the info jacklv. At what point did you reach the war-swindle? mADDYman, I do the same thing with economic booms. It's cheesy, but necessary for a really great score. Snarkotamus, I see you reset Kang in preparation for +300k games, and submitted another one already. Excellent! :D <img src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrpalpt.jpg" border="0" alt="Kzinti empir

Yep, nice new medal! [e classic]:congrat:[/e] An early economic boom is definitely a great boon for scoring, and necessary for a spectaclar score. Great work, and looking forward to seeing some more details. Sentient species taste better..

Honor and glory to jacklv, for a mighty conquest of almost 800,000 light-years! Also congratulations to Snarkotamus for another victory spanning over 300,000 light-years!

This sthondat speaks with grass between his teeth.

Kzinti warriors and Heroes are free to roam the galaxy as they wish, conquering and subjugating as they please. Even the most inexperienced warrior has value to us, and the

I think I really, really need to make a few drastic changes in my playstyle now that I took back my Altmeta Sol-Civ 1st place and top 10 spot in Gal-Civ I can't remember the last time I scored over 20K and that was probably just a zero year win...[/quote] Dont know if you were around when we started doing Swindle games Noctilucus, but these are my best scores so far:
It does not apply to DA at least. Doing ZYWs, there are several turns where I get 3 techs/turn, without having three planets. Sentient species taste better...
Congrats Ferrel! Quite an accomplishment! [e classic]:congrat:[/e] An econ boom would definitely bump that up significantly higher too.

Well-said mADDYman! Thank you. :) Zyx, yeah it was Neilo moderating his own thread, not any SD people. Sorry that was confusing. Like Kryo and I both said, I think that function is something to be used only in extreme circumstances by users. I've only done it once and dont expect to again. That was why I declined to particpate further in the Metaverse 2.0 thread once the creator decided to moderate it. <a href="http://www.mypicshare.com/vqrpalptpi
Thanks mADDYman. :) Any discussion is welcome in the Kzinti Empire thread...and Zyxpsilon is already a member. As for the competition between the ToE and the Kzinti, it's mainly taunting in good fun. I call many in the ToE my friends and certainly give Neilo his due for bringing the Tyranny to #2, which is no small feat. Disagreements happen with friends. and thats allright too. I dont agree with banning people without great cause, but I think Neilo is of c
I saw that and decided to abandon the thread myself. I only banned someone once from my Kzinti Empire thread, and that was Harborne, who had been proven to be cheating on the MV, and was because he was totally unrepentant about having done it. I dont expect to ever use that functionality again, and I think others should be very wary of using it too. <img src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrp
That's not what I read....I thought it was the word "count". I skimmed it pretty fast so I could have misread. In any case, I'm done with this thread as it is now "moderated". Perhaps the discussion will continue elsewhere. Sentient species
[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="4" id="2034212"]I'm with you KP, state jobs are great. They don't pay that much, but you get pretty good job security (especially since they rewrote my job description so that I'm the "only one" doing that - can't be redundant if there's only one, right?) and the benefits are pretty good, too.[/quote] And dont forget a lot of holidays that most people dont get, like Columbus Day and MLK Day.

Thanks. :) I'm relieved, but not excited, to be employed again....I'll be making less money than my previous job, but in this bad economic time, I opted for stability rather than dollars. I'll be working for the State of Vermont, which wont be going out of business any time soon. ;) <span style="fo
