G.R.O.S.S. communication thread.

from Stardock Forums
Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed. In less than an hour we have jumped 95 other Pacifist Doo Gooder victim empires and lept into 40th out of 135 ranked.

We are an evil empire bent on controlling everything and showing all the other empires out there who's boss. US. Are you listening Euro-"Oh lets let everyone be a senator and give em a vote doo gooder democracy alliance?" We come for you.

For a limited time, (untill I decide otherwise) 5 Pure Evil games, (or just impressing me with your game evilness) submitted will get you a Senatorship. Later, being the evil empire pyramid scheme we are, it will take 10. Of course, being the evil empire we are, that gives you no benefits, no pay, but all the alien carnage you crave most.

Now we do realize that sometimes, you just have to fake being good. You sometimes just have to infiltrate that pacifist party. We understand. But we aren't a kinder gentler empire and don't let their pacifism go to your head. And just sometimes, you gotta let the Aliens live (where else would you find slaves for the heavy metal lava mines?)

In the future, we shall update each other in the empire via this thread, brag of our conquests, drink blood wine, and generally just poke fun (creatively and humorously) at those players whom we find to be too goody goodyish.

Our mottos.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

Just win baby.

Here's your ration of skin you do gooder wimp Drengin slime. Now get back to work

EBZeroMatrix you have been made a senator.

I repeat. Cringe in fear, we come for you.

Good will always triumph over evil because evil trips and falls in bottomless pits.

I suppose your next post will be to feebly try to convince the Gross empire that "Aliens are people too?"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Well I've got news for ya.

Socrates was merely a figment of Plato's imagination.

Ha!!!!

:) Happy Gaming.

Here in the metaverse, good is a strategy, not a philosophy. Like I said. Good is a necessary evil at times. Yup.

In today's evil empire news your evil emporer was temporarily thwarted by a higher power more evil, wretched, and diabolical than he.

Boy that grass looks tall, when are you going to mow the lawn honey?

Boy you sure on that puter alot. When can I play my Nancy Drew Mystery game you had our son get me for mothers day last year?

Boy, look at your hair, I'm going to have to cut it today.?

Oh honey!!! Look at this sale paper Where's our checkbook (the most evil, diabolical words a guy could ever hear)

Say do we wan't another kid? (right then I knew our empire would have to live without me today.

Or, if not for today, then for at least an hour... ;)

Alright, so you had me at "Just win, baby." I TRIED being a saintly do-gooder, and what did it get me? Planets without good bonuses and a bunch of lazy-a** citizens who then had the gall to complain about *their* low morale.

So, I'll reach your standards of evilness shortly and finally join myself to an empire worthy of my membership... {ahem}

Oh, and Pontius - hide the sale paper... LOL

sixtoes you can join up right now if you want. The 5 evil games is only a requirement for senatorship, not membership.

And we do realize that sometimes Neutral and Goody Goody have Evil advantages.

Neutral is fun to play off the other evil and goody goodies against each other all the while profiteering off both. Yeah baby, just our kind of "neutrality."

And Good is good on occasion for infiltration. while the torians are strong (they are less likely to declare war) all the while waiting for your opportunity and BAMMMM!!! Bye bye Slimy Slugs.


And even those who insist they are good are merely using it to conquer the galaxy for themselves anyway. They are just as evil as we. We just have more fun at it. Bwahahahahahahhaahhaha.

Purefx, of course you can join. It's open. Just go to the metaverse, look up G.R.O.S.S. we're in the 40s ranking (not bad for our second day) and join our growing empire.

Get Rid Of Slimy alienS!!!!

Your Gross empore update:

Tornado's really make it difficult to conquer these alien slugs. But here's a list of our recommended party affiliation.

War Party: Highly recommended: A party worthy of us. They see the aliens for what they are. Vermin that need to be controlled to which we add via slavery and extermination. The Bonus to hitpoints makes control alot easier.

Populist party: A decent pick the Morale bonus keeps em happy (though this isn't as big an issue with the morale boost the devs put in than it once was making them more willing to overlook your transgressions freeing you up to conquer. As the best diplomat is a fully charged Phaserbank, the diplomacy bonus is ok for trading, but not essential.

The Pacifists: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nuff said. Though we are looking for a few good Gross operatives to infiltrate these wimps. But so far each and every one of us has barfed when they asked for our save the space sharks fund donation.

More on parties tomorrow. Happy Slug Extermination. Emporer Pontius.

Disagree about the Phaserbank. If you get the Aliens to shoot each other, you don´t need a Phaserbank.

Diplo is the best Ability in the game, if correctly used. It gives you so much leverage that you can win from a bad start position.

So what if you are #7? Use Diplo to foment wars where everybody is involved EXCEPT YOU. Then backstab the weak, or culturally conquer the galaxy while no one is looking. :)

In my current game, I bribed the Altarians to attack the Drengin, which enticed the Yor to backstab the Altarians, which gave me the opportunity to backstab the Yor. :) :)

Coffee, you are just the backstabbing evil scum of a "diplomat" G.R.O.S.S. is looking for. Welcome aboard!!!! I stand corrected. :)))))

Actually I used to play the Populists for that reason and the morale. My first game, even playing them, I had all kinds of morale problems. But now the morale boost isn't quite as big a thing since they bumped base morale up a bit. I'm playing the industrialists right now.

I will gladly join your evil brotherhood. I'm so evil I deliberately play huge galaxies with abundant planets just so I have MORE people to conquer.

While I have yet to accumulate 5 pure evil games, I still ask for senatorship on the grounds that my pager is firing > 100 times a day the last few weeks. I continue to spread evil and fear amongst the users of my servers... and will bring this energy back to GalCiv when the time is ripe.

PS: I bumped G.R.O.S.S. up to #17! GO EVIL!!

Good job svalin :). We need more ppl liek you to keep our point base high enough so everyone will recognize our evil power! MWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wearing a pager is having to endure an evil in and of itself, The senators shall consider your request. Since there are only two of us, it shouldn't take long.

I'm playing a goody goody game right now. Boy it sux. You gotta save the bugs, and everytime you kill a few worms to get the best pq for your citizens it bumps you down to neutral and you gotta do tons of pablem puking goody goody junk to get good again. And it doesn't help that the pukin Lizard boy Torians now think I'm God. Baah. But I'll continue to be goody goody (that is untill the transports are all in position with the core detonators!!! Bwahahahahahhaha.

Welcome aboard Svalin.

That's in just 4 days to #17.

Cringe in fear do gooders we come for you!!!!!!

Thanks. :) Btw, don´t forget my well-deserved promotion. LOL

I shall join today, Pontius - and I'll use my day off tomorrow to attempt to qualify for a seat in the G.R.O.S.S. senate... ;)

(Let's just hope that in doing so, I don't lower our mighty empire's score - assuming the Metaverse is functional anyway!)

Hmmm... conspiracy theory here - I suspect it's those blasted ALIEN SCUM that are behind the problems with the Metaverse. Ya think Brad's really a human? (After all, the guy works harder than anyone I've ever known.)

Catch you around tomorrow...

He sure works harder than those Torian Slaves I captured. Hmmmm wonder if he's a Drengin....Oh and in this universe, he's a dev, that's Godlike powers. He has the power of the nerf.
But yes, I think that metaverse problem is a goody lil twoshoes conspiracy. It will fail. G.R.O.S.S. is destined to rule the metaverse.

Rock on, G.R.O.S.S.

Good to see another dark force eclipsing the universe

Why not join us now Gypsy? Spare us the trouble making you roadkill on the G.R.O.S.S. Highway to Metaverse immortality. Your 4 evil games submitted already are impressive. It looks like the dreaded goody goody euro-alliance is about to gobble your fledgeling empire up. However with our "Protection"......

When you pass me personally, Pontius, I'll consider a merger. Show me your evil domination. Your motives are admirable, but are _you_ worthy?



Reply #23 from Stardock Forums Top
Hey, Gypsy, maybe I should join your empire? ;) Nothing against GROSS, but maybe balance, power, and influence outweigh xenophobic evil in general. Besides, GROSS needs competition to conquer anyway. (And I am too lazy to run my own empire, I have to admit!)
Reply #24 from Stardock Forums Top
It would be dastardly evil of me to recruit on G.R.O.S.S.'s own comm. thread, so I won't. . . well. . Hmmm... nah, that would be uncool. Evil must be cool to thrive.

Reply #25 from Stardock Forums Top
Gerrakken: you misunderstand. We are not xenophobic. We like contact with aliens. After all, you gotta have contact to take slaves. We pride ourselves on being a power empire. Influence, economy, science those are merely different sorts of power. Your tactics are up to you. We don't dictate tactics (efficiency is what counts in the end) The game remains the same. He or she with the power, wins.



Gypsy: It's a deal. Soon as I pass you personally, you're joinin up.
