Any good newspaper's got a mix of impartial news and editorials, so I don't mind. Hmm... you've got a sports section (glad ya liked it :-p), you've got a comic strip... all you need now is a business section about Stardock corporate news, and some classified ads. Maybe a world section, where you highlight some big events in players' empires (new strats, weird random event, etc.) :)

I can't think of a better time to bump this thread, what with all the **** going on... I'd say a bit more about how much everyone appreciates the devs' work (yes, even the background people like froggy who don't have their own fan clubs... yet... :-p), but the existence of this thread says enough, doesn't it? Bring on the worship smileys!

I remember the knight-on-knight duel in BattleChess 4000 (an old sci-fi version). Normally, they use blasters, but in this case, they draw lightsabers. The duel goes on for a while, then one guys smacks the other's lightsaber away and the loser hits the ground. The winner raises his saber and is about to smash when the batteries fall out. He looks down at the batteries. The "loser" watches for a moment, then draws his blaster and shoots the other guy. :-)

Wombat? WOMBAT?!? Where the fuck are you? This little shithead Wascally hasn't stopped crying since you left!

(an excerpt from the Discovery Channel) The other threads in the wild are starting to feel confident, feeding out in the open and growing quickly. Threadzilla has noticed this, and it is time for her to re-stamp her dominance on the herd. She does not sneak up on other threads, that is not her way. She simply stomps up, and makes her prescence known. The little threads run away, and Threadzilla claims the slowest ones. Look, that poor one tripped over! It's lying on its back, s

Fellowship News - Sports Report There was drama at the racetrack today during the running of the Fellowship Fifteen-Hundred. Both runners made it across the line at the exact same time, but Evil Steve was announced as the winner without any debate. Sources report that Ray's bribe this year was inadequate, as he was supposed to pay tribute based on his gross, not net, income, and he was claiming too many diplomatic priviledges on his income tax. Also, Evil Steve has admitted to taking mi

[quote]After all, it's not us complaining about the scores. It's the people getting anomolous scores who are. And the anti-cheat checks have been in a long time. They exist as part of the Metaverse rules.[/quote] I'm not suggesting you remove the anti-cheat system, by any means. Just that the savegame stores some more turn-by-turn history, so trigger values don't immediately cause an anomalous score, but they do cause an automated investigation. e.g. storing how a player's empire-wide P

First, we have to clearly seperate the two issues we're discussing here: 1) Removing anomalous scores (however they're caused) by hand. 2) Using the GCCG strategy. I've seen the CEO quote thrown around a fair bit, but look at the context it's in: [quote]Anomolous scores have to be removed by hand . I don't mean to offend anyone but at the end of the day, I am the CEO of a multi-million dollar corporation.[/quote] For dealing with point 1, that's a fa
