look up G.R.O.S.S. ....join us, lol. Seriously, we need people to join. Just goto the metaverse and do a search on G.R.O.S.S. and join up ;) ~SDC~
Don't bring me into it... ~SDC~
Please call me EBZ... And yes, I understand now...just a communication/clarification problem. Please make it clearer if we are going to have a vote. Btw, any contact info. coffee? (AIM/AOL, yahoo, msn, or icq?) ~SDC~
Is not because of you svalin. ~SDC~
Their influence is higher than normal stars. ~SDC~
Hmmm, nice to know that no one seems to consult me as well on decisions. That will warrant me defecting, I can guarantee that (first and last warning). Have a good day. ~SDC~
Sabatoge (sp?) would be nice to have. To destroy a random bulding, or steal a trade good. Maybe even delaying a project thats building. Just a few ideas right off the top of my head. ~SDC~
A few times during negotiations for a peace treaty, I have gotten back a system or two that the AI took from me. ~SDC~
Svalin, is there any way for me to contact you besides here on the fourm? ~SDC~
Also... I have found that even the slider can be dragged to max, you can use the arrow to continue to increase the BC's you put into espionage/destabilization. Does this further increase help you in any way, or is it just a waste to do so? ~SDC~
As I have said before, if G.R.O.S.S.'s empire name changes....I WILL defect. No ifs, ands, or buts, and no questions...bottom line. I joined G.R.O.S.S. ...I don't remember joining anything else. ~SDC~
I never registered at the Metaverse (I think). All I did was use my e-mail address and name that I used to register here on SDC (or the game itself, I think), when I was prompted to at the submission screen at the end of my game. ~SDC~
(Psssst, propaganda slider! = higher morale/BC) ~SDC~
You hate the game because of the documentation? Wow, I think I have heard it all now, lol. THAT'S gotta be the stupidest reason to hate the game (that I have ever heard of). The game isin't that hard unless you are a 7 year old. Even so, there's this fourm, a chat, and the website. After reading all that and talking to some people, if you can't figure it all out by then...well you shouldn't be play the game ever again. I'm just guessing that you based all of your
Go good, and then you have the Yor and Drengin to worry about (and the Drengin aren't gonna be a cakewalk). ~SDC~
I gotta agree with Pontius. In one night, me and Pontius were able to bump you guys down. We stomped you guys. Nuff said... SSIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKEEEE!!! In fact we will continue to stomp on you. Did you REALLY think G.R.O.S.S. was just gonna let you get on the map just liek that?! LMAO! You guys are funny, really, you're killing me here, LMAOOOOOO. Alright, take care guyd. G.R.O.S.S. looks forward to stomping on ya some more ;) !!! ~SDC~
Good news, we're #9! (Well at the time of this post. I'm sure we'll be moving on up further soon). ~SDC~
Finished the game finally with a Tech. Victory!!! ~SDC~
You probably researched cloaking technology, ;p ~SDC~
Allright, here's a update from my new game: I was simply astonished on how well everything was placed. Barley any major civs nearby, and there's only a few minors that i see. Other than that, most star systems close enough for me to colonize at least 70% of all yellow stars before i exterminate and take the minor race's yellow stars. Things are really looking up in this game, seems liek its gonna be a fast burner with another game to post before the weekend ends. :D <B
ALL MEMBERS OF G.R.O.S.S. MUST CONTACT ME WITHIN A WEEK! THIS IS MANDATORY!!! Contact Info: SDC AOL/AIM: EbZeroBahamut(@aol.com) Yahoo: EBZeroMatrix MSN: [email protected] ~SDC~
Pontius, whenever you get the chance, I request a conference with you in the SDC chat. Btw, I won my gigantic game with a tech victory! :CONGRAT: New game started at gigantic with a higher difficulty level. ~SDC~
Friendship? Well you can display your friendship by joining G.R.O.S.S. ;) ~SDC~
I guess I should make a update as well. The Torians are defecting in hordes to my empire. While one of their defected planets defected again to the I-League. My influence is 3 times larger than the largest AI's influence. No wars so far. Only battles have been with prison cruisers. And the consensus says that I am the most powerful race ever. And I also control more than half the galactic resources. Things are looking good. Either I will win culturally, technological
