Good to hear Mrs. Pax is well, and welcome back! Most of us have taken some well deserved rest from the game, so dont sweat it - nice to hear everybody starting to reappear though!

Um...hang on a sec...what exactly are you agreeing with me about? Not that I don't like being agreed with, mind you...being agreed with is generally very...agreeable. It's just that one would like to know what one is agreeing about...but you can certainly keep up the "oh great furry leader" stuff...I like that...man, do I need a holiday....
Smoking is a health hazard, but I authorise you to make a brave attempt to subvert us with copious amounts of whiskey... ;p
Yep - anyone who wants to make us an offer (and can bring their own wookie porn) can contact me at: [email protected] Except you, GoblinCookie. You're excluded. Absolutely. Aww well...maybe we'd consider you...I guess...
Matthew - I always find it hard to tell what exactly is being rewarded in the "society" score component - I cant seem to repeat results consistently. In that game I built/traded for morale and pop boost wonders, trade goods etc and had the largest population prior to alpha striking. I have developed the opinion that massive pop and SPEED of victory are the keys, so I orient research and TG/wonder building that way. I do agree 20k seems poor reward for a large map, though!
I just completed this technique on a small map, rare planets...oh boy. The easiest whoopass I ever handed out; just short of 30k for about 45 mins work. Unbelievable. Like ric, old habits die hard and I did build up some insurance in terms of influence wonders, trade routes etc but sheesh...this technique means you hardly have to turn up at the keyboard LOL . Hats off to ya, Maxti!
Whew! Caught ya Threadzilla! No going off the front page for you! Here's a tidbit....
MORE elite than the Special Forces!!!! I dont think I can let that one go! Er...hang on a sec...oh bugger.... ;p

Argh! Sorry to hear that Hurls - but may be a permanent solution to CTD woes? I've bought good PCs from Landmark, although dont know if they have an ourlet near you. Hmm...just submitted my first game for a few weeks - and the blasted calc system means I LOST 5k! >:(
[quote]We are not threatened by the self-important blather of a puffed-up minor power.[/quote] Need I remind you it was one of YOUR warriors who started the blather, due to their apparent insecurity? Yes, the Fellowship has brought a soporifically dull, colourless quality to the top of the table; attractive to some but to others a tawdry and unimaginative exploitation of a string of recent popular travel films and an old book. Go ahead, collect your mindless Aragorn wannabees who are no
Keep the faith, evil ones - even a dark faith is better than none! While you have members that are willing to cheat in one of your own votes, you know there is still enough evil in the world for you to prosper. ;)
Oh yes...the Beagle is due to land a week before the Spirit, thus trumping the American effort. Then, the Beagle disappears...hmmm...I'm afraid this has the letters "C - I - A" written all over it. At this moment, the Beagle is a weather satellite positioned over Guatemala, stripped of its memories.... Sadly, the space program was derailed by the profit motive since the Moon landings...the shuttle kept it alive (because you can charge people to place their satellites in orbit) and I awa

Ahh...but have you shown the Jedis the peace treaty paperwork? Do they know what they will have to give up...and how long it will take to complete the forms? Good luck G-Force :)
'Smatter....feeling nervous? Ginata is a superstar, but we have a solid crew, currently largely on holiday - the wizards score would look sick without one of their top players too. Mmmm...I wonder if goblin cookies taste nice...with mulled wine....

Congrats on four million, wizards! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Nice one Piers! Kit - did you ever walk the walk? ;p
1. Hiya Kit - the koala is visiting family and away from the PC; should be back in the next week or so. 2. Theoden - yep, we are all watching our gun performer in awe - you go girl! One million awaits!
Kit, baby! Never publish your location on the Internet [hears sounds of sirens wafting through the everglades]. Hey man, move down here to Australia, we'll find you a nice girl to marry and you can stay! Anyway, welcome back!
God help me, I actually WAS sober and took the kids into the centre of Melbourne to see the fireworks (which were great). Ahh...my days of pretending to speak German and crusing with chicks who couldn't speak English are long gone (:( Hey - Happy New Year to y'all (blast that Ben - we're all picking up the accent)! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Well, if you're in a minority, at least let it be a vocal one! (As for off topic, you should see the Special Forces Party Bunker topic list ;) ). Seriously, vincible, I think these things moderate themselves - if no one is interested in the topic, it will die a natural death. Hang on...that sounds like a right wing "market forces rule" capitalist kind of sentiment... ;p LOL LOL LOL Really - I say talk it up; it adds flavour to the boards!
[quote]You could have told me that *before* my Christmas shopping![/quote] LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Fair enough - I'll have a crack at building up my No.2 planet and see what happens! Happy New Year - oh, and dont drink very much alcohol on New Year's Eve, OK? ;p ;)
Thanks Maxti - I now feel like saying a big "Doh!" Never been one for destroying everything either - doesnt it affect your end score? I had always thought one of the side benefits to flipping big, well developed planets is that they add to your "Society" score where scorched earth planets dont count for as much? Still, it's really interesting and I'll try it out - thanks mate!
OK, I'm taking over this thread and heading it back to planet Earth - sounds like some of you seekers have sought some illicit substances approaching New Year :SURPRISED:
