Apparently we are all taking a nice depth breath, sipping on our daiquiri's, fiddling with the metaleague (in some cases) and enjoying our recent victory in taking back the #1 spot from the HCH. Not a bad life!!!
I know I promised to make my next game a follow along game over in on the
Galactic Core. I think I might be up for starting that in the next week or two. Large suicidal, using the same custom race I used for my mega game seems like the best candidate to me, especially since I might be a touch cold after a two month break. I was thinking about simply posting a turn one game file and then try to save out game files at critical (decision points) as I go through it, explaining why I think it's a turning point and what I plan to do about it. Still debating with myself whether I should try a no limits, use every sleazy/dirty trick I know, riding the knifes edge game, or show some self restraint. This actually does affect how I play a bit. Your input would be appreciated! Hopefully, seeing my play style might open up some playing possibilities for everyone else. I certainly know that getting a feel for what the other players were doing in the various threads, here and, especially, at our private forums, helped my game out. I also know that playing out part of a game that Qestraal was struggling with is one of the most fun GC II things I have done.
I wanted to post this over here, in case any of our members might be interested who are watching only the forums and not the core. Also, this is yet one more reason for anyone who is empire shopping to
Join the Galactic Diplomats! OK, I know it's not subtle, but I wanted to remind everyone that we are an open empire and all are welcome.
