[quote]Can you believe that the ANZACs picked up 2 new members since us mutants left through the Sydney pub![/quote] Aye, carumba!! What does that mean?! Do they bother to read threads? Does FF really suck - did we waste our time? Finish the story, Drop Bear.
Can someone clarify a small issue for me - I'd like to upgrade and support Stardock, too. If I do, what happens to submitting normal games for scores to the Metaverse? Is the beta a completely different program, or does it modify my current 1.05, and does it change my ability to submit scores for my empire? Thanks in advance for advice....
Go Master Yoda! And remember, don't drink and game....on second thoughts...what am I saying! ;p [quote]Yep, we're still here. Although as one of the "other" themed empires, we're also feeling the pinch that is affecting Freedom Force.[/quote] Hang tight - you seem to have a critical mass of people who want to support the theme. Our problem is that now, I'm not sure that we can do it with so few, especially if there's dissention in the few that are there. Good luck, and may the
[quote] I note poor old Blue Steel has made a call to arms[/quote] Where's he been for the past few weeks, then? Only ones to respond here - you, me and Hurley. Bakka, ajm, Slitherin - what say you? Frankly, the more time that passes, the more I start eyeing off skull-and-crossbones day wear and fancy eye patches.....wombat, bear and penguin to sail the southern seas, arrrr?
[quote]She'd make a good she-pirate. [/quote] I believe so, too. You will also remain happy, Pontius. ;)
Thanks for the message, Kit - I know she last submitted a game on 17/7 and am hoping she'll bob up on a thread soon. Lots to fill her in on regarding empires rising (and falling?). You will remain happy. ;)
[quote]That was a joke by the way[/quote] We know....comrade....we are watching your house, right now..... ;)
[quote]I actually still enjoy playing Galciv I must admit, but I have a stack of Japanese RPGs I could be playing, and about 150 novels to read (grows by about 4/week). I'm drowning here! But the Galciv experience has been a heap of fun for me and I've still got a ways to go I reckon. [/quote] Whatever you do, DONT drown, for goodness sake! If that means writing one piece and playing one game per week - take that and enjoy life to the full, like enjoying dinner! Hurley - I doub
If we're talking books, can I throw in a vote for Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos? Four book series, absolutely mind blowing in scope. Also a vote for Scott Orson Card's ender series of books. Gold medal to Stephen Donaldson - basically ANYTHING he writes; the six Thomas Covenant books, and the five book 'Gap' series modelled loosely on Wagner's Ring cycle - magnificent SF. The guy's amazing - I attended a lecture he gave here in Aust about, oh, 15 yrs ago and have an autographed copy of W
[quote]Personally, this game is the longest I've held an interest in, because of the people. I love ya all. [/quote] Absolutely right - it's why I'm also still here. [quote]Wombie: you have a special place in my heart[/quote] All jokes aside, brother - feelings are mutual. If I'm going to hang anywhere, I'd like to be hangin' with you.

[quote]Ray. I did make several suggestions at the time.All of them better than this...in my opinion.[/quote] Yes, you certainly did...the Endorphins, the Wandjinas, tribal animal motifs, World Animal Force, you suggested shape-changing animal heros, etc. Since I'm the guilty party who drew the line and stuck us on the board, I have to say that I just tried to sum up what I felt to be the general direction of the discussion at the time, and it certainly seemed to me that Freedom Force me
If any of the old hands are reading this - come talk to us on the Freedom Force thread! Josh, Cotal, Quack - where are you??
Quick thought Chris: Bad News Bear It sounds tough, doesn't it? OK, I'll keep thinking..... ;)
Yeah...those bloody Collingwood brids will get ya every time... ;) Bakka - I saw that newcomer in ANZAC, interestingly he's got games dating back over a month - dunno where he's been hiding. And I also noted Cotal submitted a game on 17/7, so she's still playing....awww, speak to us, girl - come join the FF! DB: My War of the Worlds stuff is very comic book; I'm just playing it for laughs. I'm actually enjoying it, though; please tell me if you want special powers, I'll do wha
[quote]Wild wombie, are you trying for a Pure Good moniker?[/quote] Nup - last three games pure evil, in fact. I got sick of not picking up those lovvverly PQ bonuses, so stuff the worms, and the bloody slaves - I don't care what my alignment is! I do rather fancy that black mask you wear, my friend, although I don't think my game averages will allow much shift in alignment now - played too many for occasional shifts to matter in the general scheme of things. Currently having f
Awesome job super snake! We all knew you had it in you ;) OK team - 40,000 to the Apolytoners...and closing...
The War of the Worlds The Freedom Force Avatar bored a hole in the ether heading for Palain Seven. A sensor alert flashed on the main console, and Hurley looked up from his favourite DVD, Kung Pow: Way of the Penguin. "Hey guys - ship on our screens - unknown configuration." Drop Bear moved across to the comm station. "Hailing unidentified vessel at mark 2.47 - identify yourself" A crackling static, followed by several strange clicks, and then: "This is Capt

[quote]freedom force is first-class all the way.[/quote] You got that right MM77 - you must be superhero material yourself! Develop a concept, toss some ideas around, come join us and have some fun! I sense a hidden Mystery Man lurking within you ;)
[quote]OOOOOH, those pesky mutants![/quote] Hehe...crank it up, everyone - only 50k to the Apolytons, then the loooong 250k haul to the Euros. But hey - we're superheroes, right? Enjoy your gaming and have a good week; looking forward to another Slitherin vs Hurley main event, hopefully the cuddly bear will Drop a few more for us, and with any luck we'll hear from Quack, Cotal and FriendJosh. Bakka and ajm - keep pumping 'em out. And if anyone would like to develop their su

The Rainbow Serpent has obtained intelligence that a crystal of great power was being kept here under guard, although the exact nature of this crystal was unknown.

Hehe...time flies, doesn't it! Well, my wife and children still recognise me, my talents are still at the newbie level, and I'm still having fun I tell you what - "United We Stand" still sounds good as a motto for FF, too. I'm also not sure what happened to FriendJosh - c'mon mate - climb aboard! If you glance at the leader board, you will see Adrian Hill (I think) at around No.6 (not aligned with an empire) - check his games and he's an Aussie! If only.... And BTW - I
Hey team - we're a whisker away from the Republic after Hurley dropped another bomb on the competition. And they thought THEY were saving the universe.... ;) Let's go heroes!!
[quote]I'd rather contribute to the community rather than try to get the most out of my score. Mostly I try out new strategies, moving from easier to harder maps depending on how I feel.[/quote] It's tricky, isn't it? I started by going up the difficulty levels, spending about five games at each level to familiarise myself with various tactics. Challenging was good for me, and I managed to squeak out a win at painful, though only just. I'm going back through others' strategy posts now,
