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.

EBZeroMatrix here reporting back from vacation...

It was the best one I have ever had, and earlier today I just got back...so I'm just depressed for the time being. Once I get my bearings back together, you can bet I'm back in :) .

Till then G.R.O.S.S.ers, keep up the wicked stuff, I look forward to being back in the game again.

G.R.O.S.S. players,

I admire your achievments and your sheer power. I do that with great sorrow by virtue of the fact that best of the players are from Midwestern US.

Gerraken speaks like a true leader of the empire with great sense of purpose and great sense of humor. As an example he did notice things happening in the land of MWC one day before we climbed above GROSS. I have no doubt that he means business when saying "from behind" words. We will be ready Gerraken.

Other mighty warriors of G.R.O.S.S., I would like to use this opportunity to say hi to all of you. Just get rid of that nervous shaking maniac of yours, Pontius. Granted, he has a good score, but you must look beyond score and see who your leader is: Hulk or the King. As an example RayChua is an honarable ruler. Pontius is not.

Have a good day of play, let you scores be high.

Nice of you to visit, axels. So, you don't like the boss? Fine. Nobody has to. But the boss is the boss. One day I might be the one who pilots the Doom full time, but that is not my ambition. My ambition is to help GROSS. I just find it a little disturbing when that post of yours could be taken as someone who is starting a coup and encouraging defections.

Looks like the great empires have hit a new stage: leader wars. Sounds too serious for us GROSSlings. We are too loose-knit and free wheeling to get involved in that. :)

Both Pontius and Gerakken represent G.R.O.S.S. well on the boards and as leaders of our pirate crew. ... I let get caught by the GROSS press gang because this is fun place to hang out and recount war stories. Some other empires are a little TOO serious...

Besides no one's jumping ship or even thinking of mutiny. Pirates are used to be outgunned and beating overwhelming odds.

Hi all, guess i stepped into some sheep manure looking at all the baah posts :) Got two games submitted (finally)this weekend, totally drawfing my old score. Lost two more games due to a reinstall. I'm not crying over it though :)

Strategy guide is still coming, we should be ready for 1.0 by the end of the week. Anyway live long and prosper GROSSers.

Oh and slamming someone you don't even know on the internet is honorable? Wow, such a big man!!!!
LMAO the stupidity in your posts just keeps coming. I suggest you sort out your personal problems before you post such flames in the future.

Greetings guys from Vacation. Ahhhh swam and boated all day. Went fishin. Caught nothing most of the day. All the women in the boat hucked em in. Guide then said women have different chemicals that attract the fish. I of course laughed and thought no way. Then I had my wife bait the hook. WHAM!!!!! Caught my limit in the next hour. I sneak on to the puter at night when family is in bed and post. Have fun guys.

Family comes first. But the send the daughter into the man's computer cave bit is evil. Pure evil. You gotta hand kuddos to the wife for that one.

Seems I only get to play for an hour or so after mine goes to bed. Although lately my wife has been creating other diversions to stop me from even that. HEHE.

Pontius,

We are here to have sometimes rough fun.

You slamed a character of my character's friend a few days ago with little/vulgar humor. He was not even an alien! Please do not read my character your character's lectures about honor. Your empire is built on dishonor, cruelty and evilness. My issue is with dishonorable Pontius, killer of all that is alien. You touch my character's friends, you will pay heavy price.

P.S. I am glad that you (person who stands behind Pontius ) is having good time on vacation. You will be rested and will continue good fight when you come back. Cheers from Victor, Moscow (owner of axels2000 from Iowa City). :d

Lets all welcome back Senator EBZero Matrix,

Ah, yes. Back on the crew again. Welcome back. As we say around here, once GROSS always GROSS.

Now I got to get back to work on the ship. The SSDC needs adjusting. It's firing a bit off to the upper left. Once that is fixed, it will be time to leave spacedock and catch up to those wily corn devils. :)

The leader of ANZAC is whoever bought the last shout. Leadership challenges just mean more booze for us, so everyone's happy.

Yes, reading your drivel is a heavy price. Oh the burdens we must bear. It's not my fault your character likes slugs more than he likes human beings. Did I salt his best friend? Did he puke when he ate KFD (Kentucky Fried Drengin)? Awwwww, my heart really bleeds for em. Here. Here's my donation to the save the cosmic sharks fund. Now beat it. I have never started a war first in my games. It's always your alien scum friends that do it. I just finish em.

Managed to sneak in a game. My first crippling victory and in April 2187. Everyone here was right, Speed is an extreme advantage. I was able to beat the Drendin and Arceans while they were at war with me and stronger militarily, because I just flew around their fleet and took their planets.

I won with a Torian alliance. I didn't see a way to go after them. Let me know if I made a mistake:
1. Torians had already built 4 battleships and I was 58 months away if I researched it.
2. My economies were so weak from the wars that it took 33 turns to build a frigate on my better planets.
3. I had a number of leases from Mitrosoft to take out the Arceans.

I thought I had ceded too much ground to the Torians to catch up and break the alliance. Any thoughts?

Welcome to our humble Threadzilla, fine Republic representative. Ah, the smell of fresh meat. Threadzilla likes to be fed.

Gerakken is tinkering over the port engine of the Survey Ship Doom, wrench in hand, when he hears a scratching sound from the rafters overhead. He looks up, only to be blinded by a hairy brown arse plummeting downwards at Warp 2. The impact knocks Gerakken backwards and he lies sprawled on the deck.

The small bear crawls over to the still form....whip like tentacles arc out from the bear's left front paw and plunge into Gerakken's neck....a blue and white pulsing pattern is seen on Gerakken's neck veins for a few moments....the tentacles withdraw....and the bear crawls slowly away, its first mission accomplished.

Gerakken awakes, remembering nothing except for the fact that it is high time he stopped for a Fosters....

On the Doom bridge, Gerakken arrives, can in hand, to report to Pontius:

G: "G'day mate, what's going on?"

P:" Who are you calling mate, you fool? I'm the boss! Now DROP and give me 20!"

G: "Geez Ponty...give us a break....mate, you look like you need a beer!"

P: "I don't like the look of this (well, except for the beer)...all hands to the bridge!"

The turmoil has started...what we cannot destroy, we will assimilate..... :HOT:

Only too late wombat realizes he just assimilated a ship full of replicants with viruses implanted. Wombat's Borg Cube explodes and Pontius and Gunner roll all over the floor laughing wondering if wombat survived and noting that Layton Hewitt, got ousted first round while looking at their Misty Hymen pictures.

Been a good vacation. Be back tomorrow. Same Bat time, Same Bat Channel.
Wow. Only 25 more to go and Threadzilla's 1000th.

Sad thing is that I actually got at least a 1/2 case of Foster's at any one time that I am working on along with other booze. Well, now that true confession time is over, that drop bear was sneaky, but I am too cool of a customer to be converted so easily. Besides, I got to blend in with the natives if I got to lurk around. It makes meddling so much easier if I actually have a lay of the enemy landscape ahead of time.

Time for me to sign off for the night.
