Congradulation to HCH.

May you have luck in conquering the galaxy

We need to develop some "power players" in our empire to really hit the next level, the 10,000,000 point mark. The Galactic Diplomats and the Orcas dominate the top 10 players list, while our highest player comes in at number 23. While the breadth of our empire is impressive, we are going to need some bigger scores to reach the next level. I volunteer to try one of those monster games, who else is ready?

When you get three or four people in the Diplos who get dump a game approaching half a million points, it makes the little people's efforts a little futile in the race for top Empire.
Unless you have people like that, you will never catch them.

Can't say i agree. We have come this far, and bar for the last week, we have been catching them. Time will tell, but one thing is for certain, the winner is the Metaverse as a whole. The competition between the top 3 is really close and exciting and it's re-invigorating the Metaverse community as a whole.

Besides, the chase is half the fun!

I agree completely with our emperor - the HCH is as close to the "ideal" empire as you can get (from my point of view). I like to play small and medium size games and try various different strategies; when I go above normal - I get stomped, but that is OK, I go back to beginner or normal and try something else. I enjoy being part of a group of players who play on a regular basis and like trying different things. I'm not interested in aiming for a mega score by using gigantic maps, playing evil, abundant everything, and military conquest only (NOT THAT IT'S NOT FUN OR "GOOD") - It's just not my style,(and it is above my ability at this point).
Perhaps it is sort of like the old "saying" (I know I am butchering the phrasing)- it is better to sell 100,000 widgets at $10, than to sell one super widget at $1,000,000. It's not the money(points), its the wide base of sales (games)that is interesting.
I applaud those players who have the desire to try the "megagames", perhaps someday I will be at that point. I wish the best of luck to you in your pursuit of more prestige for our empire. Have Fun!!!!  And yes - it will be nice to overtake the Diplo's - time is on our side!

Thats strange. It must have been a glitch or something, I just went there and was able to create a new membership. Go back and try again, and if you have any more problems just drop me a line.

Where did that message that the forum was closed to new membership appear?

Best wishes,

Wyndstar, I will manually activate you. You should be able to log on now. Sometimes the confirmation emails don't make it through for some reason or another. Let me know if you have anymore troubles.

All Right Neilo  ! An excellent score! The members of the High Command are progressing!  It should be very exciting the next month or so - #1 here we come. I am also really looking forward to the new bracket system for ratings in the alt meta. I think there will be a lot more enthusiasm when people can "compete" within certain parameters.

Congrats Neilo!

I hope some of my scoring tips helped. Always nice to see our empire rising.
