Like Ginata, thanks very much for the sentiment, and I'm flattered. I realise these things are in the lap of the gods, but the goodwill from comrades is much appreciated. :)

Welcome to our newest member: Nand1!!! Just to show the Special FOrces can accomodate the light and the dark, there's a new icon for ya to check out! Cheers! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
M, you're the greatest! (sorry, I used up my spare supply of M's and 7's in my last post). :SURPRISED:
Jasalcarl - if you're interested in the whole influence system, can I suggest you check out the "Wimming maso with no military" thread in the strat forum, and also do a search for the "Palace Magic" thread by Maxtipherous - both sources will fill you in on the key issues. Welcome to the game, and good luck! :)
Now this is why I'm a cat person ;)
Kit: classy as always.... LOL LOL LOL DarkPaladin: hit the strat threads; you'll find a wealth of material specifically oriented to maso play all the way from lightning military to influence :)
I think we could achieve a synthesis of these ideas with some rejigging of the catagories we use here. Basically, what if we had the following tabs: 1. GC strategies and game playing discussion forum 2. GC mods and development forum 3. GC Empire forum 4. GC user tech support forum 5. Off topic forum It would still mean someone relocating errant threads (ie some kind of policeman) but would keep us all in on the same page/website. I'd also support Sirian's idea o
A big welcome to Weasel of the Hood and GoblinCookie!!! Drop in and talk it up, you guys - especially you Brad, haven't heard from you in ages! There were a few other newbies applying - we're not saying no, but could you come around and introduce yourself? Bread we've all known for a long while, and GoblinCookie just seems to have the right sense of humour ;) but we are definately open for active contributors. Welcome all!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Wow...it was just like the musical episode on Buffy...about bloody time we had a Quack classic to celebrate the end of holiday time! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: ATTENTION SPECIAL FORCES: CALL TO ARMS!!!
[quote]Hmmm...even though we currently hold a 615,836 point lead over Special Forces, they seem to be reactivating from their Holiday leave. They're making some pretty feisty comments over in their thread[/quote] Yeah, and now we're making them in YOUR thread, so we're definately waking up! ;p Nice one Jeff LOL LOL LOL
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
No, that's Mae West....sheesh Hurls... Rainbird (Aussie) then Evil, yes - please pay attention, Kit... Kit - the bit you missed was the old Posse scooping up a bunch of great people and forming Special Forces ;) Y'know, we might have another slot for an old pirate mate... ;)
[quote]Wouldnt it just sleep most of the time?[/quote] LOL LOL LOL Actually, yes...but the special Iron Paw attachment would be useful for picking up garbage ;p
You mean a thread where someone might post: "Hi - I've started a thread on environmental issues, come on over to ***.com and talk to me"? Sure, it might work...but you'd have to be pretty interested in the topic to chase it! I know what you mean by abrasive threads, and the environmental one was certainly affected by "thread warming" ;) but at the end of the day it is down to the maturity of posters and I think the environment thread turned out all right. Off topic comments happen all
That is one groooovy icon, Megatron! But how does one get to be Prime Minister...hmmm....I have a bad feeling about this.... ;)
Interesting...I did realise that the game score is of course NOT the Metaverse score, but I did think they had SOME numerical relationship (ie the higher the game score, the higher the Meta score, at least) but I guess I'll have to revise even that view. Does anyone have any firm data on speed of victory at maso level as a scoring factor as opposed to total population (just keen on following up Cypher's point)?
[quote]61 e-mails and 50 phone calls [/quote] Stop talking to yourself! LOL LOL LOL
Who said our periodicity was 70 years? You should be so lucky! LOL
Yep - we'll help to save you from the Seeker Master! Leave those cows alone and get those fingers on keyboards! What's that? The cows get lonely? Hmm...OK then... :SURPRISED:
A nice idea, and thank you Stardock. Although, the idea of a Wild Wombat action figure...now that could sell....
Yeah, I got bored with the stripes - be on the look out for more icon changes coming! Hmmm...why did these wizards start turning up in our thread? Methinks we hit a nerve ;p [quote]Does that infer that you will burn brightly then disappear silently into the darkness of space? [/quote] No - it means we'll dominate the skies on a regular basis ;)
I know this is a bit of a vexed topic, because from time to time others have requested the reverse (ie a "game only" forum as they were sick of sorting through empire threads. I dont think the community is large enough, frankly: with perhaps 100-200 regular contributors, odd topic threads can be accomodated and at least this is one place where everyone comes, rather than people going all over the place to find game topics, off topics etc. I find it adds to the "community" feel, and if t
ALERT: several players have requested to join Special Forces (I haven't been around much, so didn't check the empire home board). My apologies for the delay - could those players PLEASE email me: [email protected] so I can chat with you and process your applications! Sorry for keeping you waiting!
Don't encourage them, Sirian! ;)
It's a "cry-about-your-beer" song... At least it's better than a "beer-gone-wrong" song... LOL
