I vote for 5 senators... seems if just 1/3 or so would be a good ratio of senators to overlords.

I have voluntarily stepped down from the Senate. I don't have the time to devote to the entire process, so I think the spots should go to the active ones. Besides, truly evil overlords pull the strings from behind the scenes, not in the Senate committee meetings haggling over the Evil Empire bylaws...
Seattle, WA, USA ... but that's just for University, then it's off to new places again. [Message Edited]
No conscience? No problem! Evil Happens There is only one true EVIL Consider my votes cast...
Ok, I vote against this #5 proposal... and I propose that we stop making proposals and start conquering the galaxy. What kind of crazy parliament have we turned into? Now, if it was the Taiwan parliament where MPs punch each other's lights out, that's one thing (a sort of evil legislature)... but the Evil Empire is starting to turn into the "Let's-sit-around-our-terror-star-and-vote-on-another-bill" Empire!
For the record: #781 by Citizen Bucman - 11/3/2003 4:17:10 AM #782 by Citizen Bucman - 11/3/2003 4:42:58 AM I posted just four days ago... AND I posted a game. But since going to my last year of university takes up a great deal of my time, if the vultures circling my corpse want so badly to kick me out of the senate, then feel free... hopefully I don't slip right on out of the Empire all together...

By the way, how did everyone get images added to their profiles? Reveal to me the secrets so I too may provide a visual reference to my evil avatar...
Hello my fellow evil-doers! Sorry for the long absence, but I'm trying to get the last year at university finished so I can move on to my master plan... TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!!! (Mwahahaah!!!!) I just finished mid-terms, and I snuck in a galciv game to shake the dust off my "now-low-ranking" metaverse standing. I may not be able to contribute freqently, but I still support the cause when I can. Welcome to all the new Evil Overlords! (well, not new anymore... but new to me)
Congrats to Base Delta Zero on breaking 100k!!! You go! On another note, I start at university on monday, so I don't expect I will get in much GalCiv for a while. Keep up the good, er, EVIL work! I'll get on the forum when I can...
Congrats Base Delta Zero! You're in the top ten on the evil list! I'm doing what I can to get there... that's what we need to show them who the truly evil are! Evil Empire in the top ten... woohoo!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Wombat - ToEE has got some potential. I am in Seattle, U.S.A so I had no problem getting it as soon as it came out. I never did give NWN a try, so adjusting to the "wheel of choices" is interesting. All the actions on the spiraling outward menu was tricky for me. AI pathfinding is a bit off, and some of the quests and encounters are buggy. The play is pretty good and the early fights seem balanced decently. I like how your alignment and your skills affect the conversation choices
Ray, I've been playing ToEE and it is a bit on the buggy side. It is due one good patch and a couple of minor adjustments to make it a pretty decent game. I'd give it some time to move out of it's debut growing pains. I'm hoping that UFO picks up the X-Com banner and carries it high. I'm hoping to hear that one is worth the investment of time and loss of sleep!
[quote]Look guys. You are not really going to get anywhere. [/quote] Bwahahaha!!! Not going to get anywhere? Tell that to the 203 empires we outrank and remember Rainbird... you didn't move up, you moved out. Evil still is in your heart! We know you are still a part of us...
I just posted two little ones that I didn't have a chance to get finished earlier. We're creeping up on them like shadows in the night. At our "less than accelerated" pace, they'll never see us coming... ;)
Whew! Just finished my game, posted and took a look. Panicked myself when I thought evil warlords were vanishing left and right. Just need to pick up a Rainbird replacement to grip the next two empires above us by the throat!
Kudos all around to us in the Evil Empire... didn't mean to exclude your Dark evilness there DA. I was just referring to the fact that BDZ has moved into the most points in our empire and highest points sorting by evil in the metaverse.
Hmmm... just noticed the gigantic map game I posted for 1.1 has nothing showing under galaxy size... hmmm :notsure:
Kudos to you Base Delta Zero! You are the evilness the rest of us in the empire aspire to!!! :CONGRAT:
When I post my games to the metaverse, I get the following message rather than the successful post screen: Send test status: 1 Error status: 0 The game still posts, though. And I thought that when I researched stellar cartography, the previously colonized yellow stars by the AI did not appear in the undiscovered areas as a yellow star. Does that make sense? I wasn't sure, so I will be rechecking it in the next game I play. Might have been my imagination...
Someone else on Stardock chat just had the same problem... looks like a bug is a stowaway on board the expansion scout...
Hey, I started a brand new game under the expansion pack and on about turn 15, whenever I doubleclick my trusty scoutship, I get a CTD. I saved the game and it happens everytime I doubleclick. What now?
I would be happy to buy a new expansion pack directly from Stardock at their asking price. This is a great game!
Hey, we're making progress toward the others. There are just eight of us compared to dozens in the other empires. If we continue to move toward the inactive or barely active empires at 8 and 9, and get another recruit or two, we will be right up in the hunt. Evil calls to the others out there and we will see more dark members soon...
bakka - Thanks for the recognition... I edged my way into a promotion too. Woohoo! Progress upwards gets tough now. Competition in the top 100 is fierce! Upward movement gets to be a tougher and tougher struggle. But for now... :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: LOL
Thanks! Bucman's fleet grows as now his promotion brings renewed vigor to the Evil Empire!
