[quote]So, once again the Metaverse scoring has me stumped. I'm torn here...should I start playing again? If I can gain 30 spots by not playing for 5 weeks, that means I should be able to just pass time here on the Forums, and still pass Jaws and Ginata by April or May, right[/quote] You'll move down in score once you start to play temporarily as the aging process will rip you apart. But after that it will go up again.

[quote]Are you thinking of Clausewitz's line, "war is a continuation of diplomacy by other means?"[/quote] That would be the one. I slipped out a word didn't I? It's 2 am.....I'm barely functional. Although I like. "My favorite diplomat is a fully charged phasor bank".....Chief engineer Montgomery Scott. even better.

What was the saying around Napoleon's time? Something about diplomacy being war in disguise, does anybody know the exact phrase? "War is diplomacy by other means" is my favorite historical quote.

[quote]#65 by Citizen Ginata el bohemio - 1/8/2004 8:54:06 AM Nastavnik . . . thanks. Well put . . .Anyway to carry on with the original and rather more benign theme of PQs. I had a 61 PQ in my last game . . . I find it hard to imagine what a planet more beutiful than Earth at it's best would be like?Technicolour clouds? Rivers of Gingerale? Insects that tickel you all over for no other reason than to make you giggle? Gravity that doesn't kill you if you fall off a giant sparrow on your way to g

[quote]That's the most shameless job of editing out the parts you don't like that I've ever seen. For one story, you take the first paragraph, because that's the one that stresses uncertainty, and ignore the summary which tells the wrong (for you) story. For the next one, you pick out the few words of the summary that make your side seem most plausible, and ignore the rest of the summary and of course the story itself. You obviously didn't read any of them. Then you claim you've "shredded" my po

[quote]Ginata well informed?? -- none of this is hard science. It's all rhetoric and phony statistics and studies pushed forward by self-serving pseudo-scientists with political agendas. you are talking about 50 millions years of current geo-climactic history by quoting small percentage changes over the last few years and extrapolating the changes over the next hundred. fer gosh sake comparing the last 3 years to the last 20 years is so silly it isn't worth mentioning. as is comparing supposed c

I played a Tiny Crippling game and lost. Was trying to man enough to submit the loss (points is points!), but MEtaverse refused to accept it. Apparently, tales of Pirates and G.R.O.S.S. members losing just aren't believed Yeah. It must have thought you were a fellowship of the ring spy. P.S. Losses don't get enough points to make it worth that much anyway. wonders whatever happened to the hobbit throwing? my hobits are starting to get freeze-burn We h

Isn't Cotal Ginita? Has Rainbird changed it to Ginata? Please do not tell me they are one in the same. I just couldn't handle that. And where's that dang top secret Bar? You'd think after all the rounds I bought, I'd be given the key.

[quote]Theoden,I have a headline for you:Fellowship suddenly feels very foolish when they suddenly realize Galactic Civilizations is a SPACE themed game. In a recent interview, Ray the Wanderer confessed 'I've know all along that this wasn't a fantasy game but I wanted to offer a support group for any those Renaissance Faire wannabees, and anyway I wanted to be all powerful and find a bunch of toadies, ahh.. I meant followers. It just goes to show that while the Fellowship is persistant, the maj

It was nice of me to drop by wasn’t it? Hee hee! I’m still trying to catch up on all the name switching, empire conflagrations, and sex changes. Still, it’s great to see so many folks still on these boards and playing GalCiv, the award-winning space strategy game available from Stardock at Drengin.net Link ! Lead Earth in a race to control the galaxy! Um... this isn’t the right place for a plug, is it? (switching into combat-script mode) I’ll give you POG
