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

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.

Hey guys. Do you have a forum of your own to better discuss this stuff? 30 pages is an awful lot to go through.

GROSS needs no other home, heathen! :)

Besides, it is our tactic not to have secrets and secret hideouts, but merely bury information in our uberthread so that it confuses outsiders. The answers are in front of you, the answer to know what it means to be GROSS!

Eludious:

This is our home. But if you're offering to join and do one for us, we'd be open to discussion on that. I cannot speak for everyone on this issue and it would be up to everyone, not just myself. :) as long as we continue to support this site as well, Also I would think it important for any such site to be open... No secret members only threads.

LOL. Okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Let me try to explain what I meant, I was trying to be brief so as not to come off all long-winded, as you are about to see I do way too often. LOL

We are a forum site, mainly. What we do is offer forums to teams of people, in support of the games we have a forum for. Whether that team is a group of people who play games or a group of people who mod or customize games.

We offer many options. The private forums is one of the options we offer to these teams. Along with modding your own forums and having sub-forums however you want. I was not trying to insinuate anyone had anything to hide, nor was I saying leave stardock or these forums. I was merely offering my services as any coordination or help to your teammates would be more easily communicated in those forums than this monsterous thread.

I also don't mean to detract from the galciv forums, or any other gaming forums. You guys look like a large team and one that could use the organization, so I thought I would offer.

As far as joining your empire, I would except I am a part of my own little empire. :) Small we may be, but we have a blast playing GalCiv, and after all, that's what it is all about, right? If you guys change your minds, just let me know.

Yours in gaming,
~Luc

Already laid down some covering fire, boss. Just submitted a game within 5 minutes of your post. It was a tiny military rush, well worth the fighting. I grow stronger in the ways of the Force! ;)

Anyway, we have shown we can take 'em, now we need to show the heathens what it means to be GROSS, no matter if we are #1 or not. Fight on, fellow GROSSers!

Congrats to everyone in the G.R.O.S.S. empire on reaching #1. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.

Congratulations, Pontius! Your Imperial concept has been proven totally sound, as I thought.

Pontius cracks his wet noodle whip. Thwack!!! You haven't submitted since may 15. What you been doing? Playing a wimpy game like Sim City? :)

"It's time the Dread Pirate Pontius retired and buried his booty"

Take a break, old Pirate friend. I'm also feeling some effects of Galciv burnout and am taking it slow lately, waiting for the next update.

I can kinda see you scared from your numerous endeavours in battles. A patch over your left eye courtesy of an European longbow. A wooden peg for your right leg - lost after taking a cannonball from the ANZACs in the high battles of the South Seas. A peg for your right hand, memories from that most brutal war with the Apolyton hordes.

And of course, the meteor shower from the White Council that scorched every single strand of hair from your crowning glory.

Is it scared or scarred? Actually, I am intact. That's the image put into Gerakkin's holo projector. It scares the netives.

Well done on your superbly crafted victory. I thought that after I got back from the country on the weekend, maybe G.R.O.S.S. might've slipped. But you're still clinging to number one! And Pontius at number 4!!! I bet that has MWC grinding their collective teeth. LOL

Now, I have some questions (I am actually green with jealousy):
* How do you become Fleet Captain?
* How do you become a veteran?

Gerakken: I note you are a veteran. Well done, and what did you do? Hmm?

My best guess on fleet Captain is at least 10 games in and 10,000 points. I got it when I crossed both plateaus.

Veteren status is contributing to finding a bug or service to the community in the eyes of the devs. And if you're abusive in the forums you can be stripped of your veteran status.

Chris, the folks upstairs must just like my posts. Forum titles are totally unrelated to player ranks. I cannot explain the whims of the forum promotion gods, and it is probably best not to try. The ranks are easier: just play a lot and it goes up. Score a lot as well, and the rank goes up more. I have no idea what the formulas for rank are, though.

Oh, and welcome aboard the survey ship of doom, Harcon.

And watch out for those sneaky Canadians. It seems like they are going for the 'sheer weight of numbers' strategy employed by the Euros and Apolyton. No worries for the moment, we got quality on our side, but that doesn't mean we can all be total slackers. Let the guys a little farther down the hill eat Canadian bacon for a while.

"You haven't submitted since may 15. What you been doing? Playing a wimpy game like Sim City? :) ".

Heh; rising to the loftiest heights of the Metaverse without much effort is totally in line with my "Wicked Neutral" strategy-philosophy. :)

Sc4 is actually not that wimpy, for an opponentless game. Budget deficit can kill you before you can say "What the-?". :SURPRISED:

The best part of sim city is the havoc you can wreak with the disaster scenarios. Other than that... I'm not all that fond of it.

Well, I glad that I am not the only one that had this problem.
