Well played you LEGEND!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Wild Wombat
Wow!! Great stuff Ben! I can hardly wait for the next installment. And I was NOT drunk - I was...resting...comtemplating the battle plan...yes, that's it...
Slotted another small win to pop us back on top...but I think we'll be playing table tennis for some time...
Ginata's close - just a few K to go!!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
It's lava pizza, actually ;) Yes Ray, I thought the Evil guys would jump at it - I put it up just for them! Wombat saw the drunken remnants of the Empire of the Light stagger off down the muddy street outside the Prancing Pony. He took the opportunity to sneak down the alleyway and into the back entrance of their franchise building just near the Fellowship castle. The ground floor room was ablaze with light...so much that Wombat had to shield his small squinty eyes against th

Various thoughts: Matthew - yes I agree with your approach...this technique gives you one hell of a quick clean up phase! And yes, I forget to change my govt too! Hermann - you'll still need to go back to the influence game a bit, plus take the time to research those diplo advances to help out. Currently I'm choosing pop 70+ in bonus picks, and experimenting with morale, diplo and other stuff, working on the principle that pushing my pop is the way to max the meta score. Get th
Hiya Evil ones - as promised, refresh browsers and check out the SF icon: now is THAT evil, or what? Maybe you could paint it on the side of that new Dyson sphere? [Message Edited]
It's absolutely brilliant, especially with that background! Great work Ben! Oh yeah, refresh browsers - now this one is SO evil, I probably cant stand it for more than a day or two, but I did promise the Evil ones that I would show them something neat! Great work team!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Hey...wait a sec...we cant afford a war on two fronts...no dissin' the Cap'n - your protection money is assured...oh, and if you could just keep those Euros busy and off our tail?
Hehe...who do you think made it possible for you to have THIS weekend off? ;p
[quote]We can still compete to be the number one "OPEN" empire if we wish. [/quote] Yeah, right. We didn't hear this rubbish when we formed in October and were back in tenth place. But when we work our way up to the top spot...oh, but I forgot - you don't care about winning, do you? ;) We weren't the first invite-only empire, either - as the Realms Beyond people (and others) will tell you, it's about collecting a like-minded group of people to share the journey, that's all. We recruit
SPECIAL FORCES: BATTLE STATIONS!!!! We are on top again after more operatives successfully struck - sustained action is the order of the day - we must consolidate - all hands on deck!! I want the bar manned at all times; alcohol rationing is to be strictly observed (that is, a large ration to everyone); supply lines must be protected at all costs; prepare for counter attack. Ask not what your Empire can do for you...but what you can do for your Empire!
:CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: YEAH BABY YEAH! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: At least I can say that I saw it, at 23:08 Eastern Standard Time, Melbourne. A heartfelt cheer to all of the team, new members and old, on a mountain climbed! Sensational effort everyone with so few overlords - and we can say: "We did this!" You people make a Wombat proud... (:(
I've never been able to work out the timing on submission - thankfully there are smarter people than me around. I think Primipulus Alexis has a spreadsheet with all the relevant details, if you're interested. Hey people - we're within sight of the wizards: no slacking off now!
Don't give up the faith - it's a slow time on the Metaverse with people coming back from holidays; potential recruits are also waiting for the Altarian expansion. If the Jedis can make it, there's got to be room for Star Trek! (Wombat tosses olive branch from back of ute while driving past)
Wombat came downstairs and looked at the mess scattered over the Prancing Pony's bar. Terl was just managing to lever himself up off the floor, while Greldon passed a bleary eyed wave of greeting from his position slumped near the fireplace. Terl's white seeker robe was stained with...stuff. Ah, these kids can't hold their mulled wine, thought Wombat...thank goodness Theoden isn't here to see this. He'd heard that Theoden had gone off wenching...and now was the perfect time for a little sabotage
Congratulations and good luck, sensei! [Wombat bows low] :)
Hey team - just a note for all operatives to be on GinataWatch! She's 23,000 short of the magic million ! You go, girl! Battle stations! (that means man the bar) ;)
Nand1 has it right - multi-skilled, multi-national, multi-talented, multi-alignment, and...er...multi-iconic... ;) Hey, I've got a nifty evil one - I'll let the dog run for a couple of days, and give you a demonstration...
Hey, I hadn't checked out the pic before, Ben...oooo...those eyes... And look...someone left the gate open at the Evil kindergarten again...geez, someone should report this - those kids need proper supervision ;p
Hey - refresh your browser and check this one out - the dogs are barking! Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!
Hey - we may be coming to wipe you out, but we'll certainly drink your beer first! Party on, dudes!!! [quote]and tell lies about what great warriors we all are[/quote] Who'd be lying? LOL LOL LOL ;p :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Goblin - there has been a LOT of debate about this very issue over the last six months; searching the forum would bring many threads to cover. A numerical modifier is applied to the final score: military=1.0, all the way down to tech=0.5. Yes, many (if not most) of us would have it differently, and I share Theoden's views on the matter. I'd also agree with your point about many roads to fame!
Watch out Jedis - they need a whole fleet to bring the paperwork! LOL
