You what is evil...time zones! ARRGGHHHH!!!!
I would have to agree that 2 million on a 2 year small game is somewhat incredulous. AFAIK the best ever score in any previous game is my 957K DL v1.4x game which was an 8 year gigantic galaxy where I had 95% of the galaxy conquered and all of the abundant galaxy resources fully mined prior to the end of reported year 1.
In this game I had over 25,000 ships under a fully populated 24 military SB array and 16,000 of them had been upgraded to full BHE missile boat status which with my weapons and defense bonus resulted in an attack/defense rating of over 1500 per ship in addition to the 1500 per ship attack/defense increase provided by the 24 military SB array.
Overall my military rating was about 14 million for about the last 4 game years. My population reached it's final 8.4 trillion value mid point of reported year two and was held throught the rest of the game. I had the tech tree fully researched before the end of reported year 1.
Plus throughout the entire game starting from Novemeber of 2226 (DL) I had the economic prosperity event in play and my income for the last 6 years of the game was in excess of 1.6 million bc's per turn which I spent down to below 20K each and every turn.
There is no conceivable way that this kind of a score could be doubled in a 2 year small galaxy DA game without some form of exploit and/or outright cheating. Even the 2 year 500K small DA game is so far out of the realm of the reasonable as to validate an outright accusation of cheating.
Ahhh now i don't have to send my fembots out to try and steal all Mumble's secrets. Seriously thanks for the insight Mumble.
I really cannot see how those scores are at all possible.
Stardock is aware and may be looking into it.
I should hope so, i would hate to be displaced form top 5due to nefarious deeds. Though if he is proven legit...all power to him.
Great planet FB, i guess it's a no brainer where you manu cap is going, make sure to build it on the food tile.

Tinky Winky at his best ladies and gentleman!!!!!
I will be working on the forums later today, and will set you up Motti in a moment.
As for senators, i like to reward our active members by promoting them...not much more i can do, i would love to be able to have a whole range of ranks within empires to promote to but anyway....what i am thinking, and i would only do this if the entire ToE supported it, was to actuallt demote those that are senators that have not played any games or very few games and/or are inactive. I only what to do this so as to try and make being a senator actually mean something.
And indeed guys all are welcome on our forums, we might even have to make Mumble an honorary member i think!!
