Reply to G.R.O.S.S. communication thread. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Pontius, final comment from me before I bow out for the week. And before I say this, I recognise that I know nothing of your internal politics at G.R.O.S.S., and I wouldn't want to stir things up there, but you can hardly pontificate about every low score is a winner and then idly comment that you've collectively become roadkill. :notsure:

Reply to Schizophrenia on the Metaverse? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

To paraphrase Kiwi Greg, you don't often see 'ethical' and 'Galciv' in the same sentence. I mean, we are usually talking genocide in this game. I did try to change my name so I could have a really cool nickname like everyone-else. Alas, when I looked on the Metaverse I and all my scores had totally disappeared! Totally freaked me. Especially as my lofty position (which happily showcases version 1.02 for those that got it) makes me feel that I have finally done something with my life

Reply to European Empire Update in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Pontius, ALL Australians and New Zealanders (and I would guess Americans and Canadians too- maybe not Mid Westerners whatever they are) would be PROUD to be considered a Former British Possession. Let's do it. Because, let's face facts, the British have lost their Empire and maybe aren't too good at Galciv (or at least the jury is not yet in).

Reply to ANZAC Empire, 'Bridging the Ditch' Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Welcome Space Wombat and Albow. Space Wombat's quote: "The 12th ANZAC Battalion has the motto: "What we have, we hold." (Kinda like that!). The ANZAC (medical) Research Institute: "Preventing the preventable, delaying the inevitable." (Might describe my gaming style, but not exactly inspiring )." Gee they were more innocent days back then. Earlier posts describe how to register for the ANZACs. And, its obligatory to rabbit on about not playing for ridic

Quote: Post #149 "Pontius: Actually the ANCACS and Canadians would be worthy to join us. Perhaps they will do so later. In the meantime, as things stand, there are two viable strategies to grow in the Metaverse: 1) Churning out tech wins on Gigantic Maps. 2) Recruitment and Mergers." Coffeedragon, don't hold your breath. Its hard to see the Canadians worthy of us. Another strategy is to sow the seeds of doubt and Nationalism. It works every time with "Europeans". Sc

Reply to European Empire Update in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Look, the Whole World is in AWE of Europe and European resolve. In particular, here at Galciv you've translated that into a formidable Empire. Granted. But, most of us poor non-Europeans (:( would just encourage all of you stalwart "Europeans" (and hey, that is something to be Proud of) to form other Empires which will BETTER reflect your very obviously diverse and proud National traditions. You could then be a big fish in a little pond. Just like that new Finnish Empire. Just li

Citizen 4D, sorry about the slipping to 6th place situation. I am spending so much time on the boards I haven't been playing! I'll correct that tonight with my version 1.02 game. Kiwi Greg, I thoroughly endorse what you said. On the G.R.O.S.S. thread, in amongst the smack talk, is a very good oratory by Pontius where Pontius talks about: ALL scores being good; just play for fun; use current harder versions of the game in order to keep credibility in the Galciv metaverse (snort); be evil;

Pontius, you are pure evil. I LOVE 'Frenchy and the Lap Poodles'. I would use it with them, but have you noticed how Europeans have *no* sense of humour? Honestly, if words could kill... I was thinking about creating another character for the Metaverse called Misty Hymen, but then I thought I might be barred for profanity. ;p

It's never happened to me before, but today I have been *shamed* by gross people. After my current large game, and possibly the next 2 or 3 gigantic games, I will reluctantly call an [*name deleted] Empire committee meeting to discuss the possibility of updating to the latest versions of the game. There, I hope you're happy. Long live G.R.O.S.S. (:(

#140 "Oh and 1.02 was the puffy score version. I never got that one. " Too right Pontius. And guess which version the ANZACs have kept playing? Never *fully* trust an ANZAC. After all, Oz sent ships to the first desert war. Oz is negotiating a "free trade agreement" to get Oz wheat into the States. And Oz raced Suzie against Misty Hymen. Doh. :sniff!:

Schizophrenia on the Metaverse? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I haven't successfully tried it, but can you have more than one registered 'character' on the Metaverse. That is, can you use one for submitting (say) Tiny game results, and another for submitting Gigantic game results? To state the obvious, can you try to manipulate your ranking on the Metaverse, by keeping high scores for one registered name, and low scores for another registered name? :d

As I said in another thread, I do have some dark thoughts about the whole point of having a European Alliance Empire: you might as well join the Northern Hemisphere Empire or the All Other Countries in The World Other Than the USA Empire. And think about it: is it really a French conspiracy- you know, like, today Galciv and tomorrow The World Other Than the USA? Hmmm. :notsure:

Misty Hymen in her *hot* swimwear beat Suzie O'Neill in a 2000 Olympic race over a distance that Our Suzie OWNED. Unfortunately, and I'm beginning to think that this may be symptomatic of G.R.O.S.S., (think, the basest mental cruelty only the young employ) in a distraught moment as she tried to recruit me, I once mentioned this to Pontius. I've deeply regretted this ever since. Damn you Pontius. >:(

Oh please, not even our American friends would have fallen for that! Er, did they? My understanding is that your game scores are totalled and then divided by the square root of the number of games played. So a score of 9,000 over 9 games would be 9,000 divided by 3 = 3,000. Clear as mud? So don't play those tiny games for a score. BUT, my understanding is that every game score is added cumulatively to their Empire, so that's cool.

Whatever you do, don't do a Google search for Misty Hymen. And the other thing I am SURE that members of Apolyton Empire do (old and young) is have really long, arcane conversations about the latest mod they created on a game which just went Gold 24 hours ago. ;) Ellestar: I do have some dark thoughts about the whole point of having a European Alliance Empire: you might as well join the Northern Hemisphere Empire or the All Other Countries in The World Other Than the USA Empire.
