[quote]i did finish "From the Shadows" if you ever get a chance...it was a unique take on why the Thalans came and its effects. I'm still recovering from a bronchial/sinus infection, abs. no fun [/quote] Oh yes I did finish that one...I forgot that was yours too. I didnt know you quite as well then. I was thinking of the one about the Terran Commonwealth. You really did an excellent job with From the Shadows! Move your computer next to your bed so you dont have to
Berfore this irrational beligerency by the Olympian Gods, the Kzinti held no ill will towards them. Perhaps Zeus has lost his senses and is having fever-dream delusions? But that is irrelevant, for the Kzinti take any threat seriously whether it be small or large. With a storm of claws and fangs we will carve a path of red ruin through your people, and leave your carcass to stink in the high sun! Another AAR....cool. :) Have you read any of the stories/novel about the Kzinti?
Still around, and still ravenous for conquest! Soon the Kzinti will surpass the HCH and then there's only one obstacle left to reach #1. How would you like to add a shiny new bronze (soon to be silver) medal to your collection PlayJeff? ;) The Hitchhikers seem to be just about done. FB left, MacMatt is absent and seems disinterested, and I have spoken to RedClaw who has said he would likely join the Kzinti if the Hitchhikers stay so inactive. Maybe marriedwithchild needs a new home? <br
[quote]Ugh, crap score for last game. I feel that I've been ripped off. xD [/quote] All other victory types will score lower than a military victory. The basic things you need to increase your score are military rating, population, economic power, and technology score. Among those, tech seems to be the least efficient way to pump up your scores. There are all kinds of ways to increase each of these, so figuring out what works best for your syle of play is important. Also very import
I was under the impresion that a draft was every three rounds, I think mainly because I thought a season was three rounds. But apparently it was a mistaken impression. ;) I'm not sure who's in or out at this point either, but I will try to get a roll call of my team at least.
Theres nothing quite like throwing taunts at Kzinti and FB.... …whats NOT ok is if that person does it by knocking other players or saying something like "Well, So and so is really new to the MVL and shouldn't be Commish"... So if I were to say something like, "Don't vote for Neilo because I hear he smells like rancid goat piss", that would not be ok? Dammit....there goes my argument against every candidate I'm not going to vote for! You guys a
I think now that the "habitable planets reduction" has been reversed, I'll update to the latest version of DA, once I complete my current game. Hopefully the memory problems will be reduced. Sentient species taste better...
Hey PlayJeff! Just yesterday I asked if anybody had heard from you...people have been worried. Great to see you back! :) Sentient species taste better...
I found that when I went from DL to DA I had to lower the difficulty level a couple notches. I've worked my way back up to where I have it higher than it was originally, but I'm not up to suicidal yet. I always steal a large amount of tech from conquest, because it's impossible to keep up in the beginning. I know my system could not handle a gigantic map, so I've never attempted it. I get slow-downs and memory crashes on huge maps, even with some of the graphics features turned down
[quote] Come on folks, try to punch in some games. I just joined, bringing with me 1.3 million points. I'll try talking some of the Orcas over as well. Second is in reach. Waiting for TA to load up MV. I put up a game recently for DA but I am loving TA and my hearts not in the older games anymore. I will be going for the 50 game medal this year. [/quote] I agree Franco, I really wish that they would make TA Metaverse compatible. I bough
Thanks for all your hard work Neilo. Everyone appreciates the effort you put into the league! :) I'd like to make a nomination. This may seem a bit unusual, as this person has only been with the league for a short time, but I believe he posseses everything that is needed. I nominate Iztok Bitenc to be the next Commissioner. I think he has both a deep and broad knowledge of the game, has always been very helpful to people asking questions on the forums whether they are newbie
[quote]hey everyone, I've been pretty much bed-ridden over the last few days, and probably will be so for the foreseeable future. As such, I'm not of the state of mind or ability to really go through and voice my opinion on these matters. Going with the latest compromise from K/M is 1) a quorum and 2) 60% majority vote. Works for me I think. [/quote] Damn, sorry to hear that SB. Same for you Mumble. I've been sorta sick the last 2 days, but nothing serious. Head & body aches...ble
[size="2"] we need a standardized process. Again, we can’t have the voting process be stifled by bureaucratic red-tape and a mountain of rules which crushes people's desire to participate. You proposed 4 rules and I had concern about one of them. It hardly constitutes a "mountain" of "bureaucratic red-tape" which "crushes people's desire to participate" if I simply propose modification to one of your proposed 4 rules. Note that I freely admit to the use of exaggerati
Another good day for the empire today, as we gained about 80k. :CONGRAT: A couple people joined up, and more players submitted games. Personally, I've got one game completed and another in the works. We have two new members today, Di55ec7i0n, and Colonel Mustard! Welcome to the Kzinti Empire! I dont remember who it was that suggested reading John Ringo to me, but I'm about 1/3 of the way through A Hymnn Before Battle. I'm not finding it to be that interesting. There's alm
I'm all for the democratic process but actually I prefer a process of consensus building that seeks to establish some common ground as opposed to the idea that a slight majority should enforce their will over a significant minority who may vehemently disagree with the majority opinion. Consensus building is generally a good thing, but I think that to have the league devolve into more of a debate club would turn a lot of people off. Having defined and conc
[quote]It's not so much the relative scores, since I do believe that in general DA scores a bit higher than DL, but the most common reason in the vote for prefering DA surrenders always enabled was to keep a correspondence between DL and DA. I think that this correspondence is a fallacy. I also feel that there was more "strength" of preference exhibited by those that wanted this to be determined randomly versus those that say it should always be enabled. I'm certainly not saying that we
It is truly an exceptionally glorious day for the Kzinti Empire. :CONGRAT: A special welcome to our newest member and Hero (Senator), Gallagher! He is one of the elite players of the game, and the Kzinti will benefit greatly from his skills. We are now within striking distrance of the High Command Hegemony. :D Also, a hearty welcome to our new members, urface, Tykko, Barka, and Darkmonkey! May you have many victories and become great Kzinti Heroes! :) <a href="http://w
[quote]The secret meeting was held because vukasika has been killing off minor races consistently in every galaxy he visits.[/quote] This is the natural way of the universe. The strong and cunning subjugate and devour the weak and foolish. The Fanged God spoke this universal truth to the Kzinti. We honor these words of wisdom... <img src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrpalpt.jpg" border="0" al
No, we dont smoke anything, so she doesnt have that. But she does have a Hello Kitty "personal massager". ;) They seem to make just about anything. Sentient species taste better...
[quote]Sadly, I won't be responding to the challenge right away, since I'm playing my current game in the Kzinti Empire. DA seems significantly different from DL and I'm learning quite a bit in this first game. I'm also having to alter my strategy now that I'm attempting a gigantic galaxy. It might take some time. [/quote] Excellent news on both fronts then! ;) When I first played DA, I found the extreme planets aggravating, because there would be all these planets I
My gf is SO into Hello Kitty, she has all kinds of stuff. Most of our appliances are pink! I dont mind as long as they work properly, hehe. ;) When we get a house, she'll have an entire room to fill with HK things. Sentient species taste better...
[quote] Only a simple option has been left to those in its wake: to submit to its power or to be utterly vanquished.[/quote] Fights-With-Words speaks truly....his Delphi Oracle must have prophecised that it is our destiny to subjugate the entire galaxy. The Fanged God will devour the essence of your gods and absorb what power they have, just like all other gods before have been destroyed and consumed. It is good to see our rival has gained the courage to op
