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.

Hmmm...I think I missed something there

The Wiggles are from a children's show. The ANZACs hired 'em as an elite commando team. It's all in their comm thread. It takes quite a lot of time to read through the comms of all the top empires. Maybe Gerakken can drop some sitreps in here for us. Keep us in the know... ya know.

Come on Wombat, write his promotion into the story!!

So is there anything special we'll do? Is there some G.R.O.S.S. tradition? Hmmm... atomic wedgie perhaps? ;)

The GROSS crew are at breakfast, the clean up from the night's fearful Wiggles' attack still going on around them. Gerakken raises a piece of toast to his mouth...and Pontius triple somersaults down the length of the table to slap it out of his hand.

Ger: "I thought toast was a bit nancy for pirate scum like us, Pontius, but gee, I'm hungry, you know...."

Pontius' keen eye surveys the breakfast table...and comes to light on a small jar with a yellow label. He opens the jar and discovers an oily, black substance.

Pon: "Yes...I thought so.....VEGEMITE!! This would have wiped us out completely. There can only be one empire fiendish enought to use this stuff....DAMN YOU ANZACS!"

EBZ: "Pontius....you SAVED us all...."

A bright white shaft of light suddenly erupts from the Doom's warp core, casting a halo around Pontius....a piercing laser inscribes the word 'Veteran' across Pontius' noble brow...

Pon: "OWWW! That bloody hurt! Who switched on that damn laser? I'll have you! Drop and give me 20!...."

The Survey Ship Doom coasts on into the night.....

Security is a nightmare around here! There is still a hole in C Deck and every covert agent and ninja wanna-be is sneaking in. :p

Well, I am off on what could be a 24 hour pass. Until later, folks.

We have something for those aussies. Are they still in range? HEHE. Gerakken, beam that celine Dion squack box you swiped from the Canadians onto that ship. Then beam yourself to your vacation.

Meanwhile, aboard the Aussie ship.

"Near, far, wherever you are,.........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

I'm back. I did the most evil thing I could think of and took the week of July 4 for a vacation in the south of France.

I think I may have managed to get the goodie empires off our backs as the French nationals in their senates will doubtless proclaim that the G.R.O.S.S. regime is a friendly, law-abiding regime whose pricacy is no doubt an unpleasant side-effect of colonialism by ancient empires, such as Apolyton.

Anyway, I'm working on an evil rating now, but I won by last game too quickly too get an alignment.

Ahhhhh. OIC, Can't help you there. So your 1.09 isn't submitting at all? Well make sure you save them games so when cari gets it fixed you can put em in.

Pontuis, this was message I sent Cari. Cari has some suggestion which I will try tonight




I was successful in downloading the beta on to both of my computer and
play the game. Great job with the expansion. However on my desktop
computer I was able to submit the game and got the feedback that you
recieved it. Both score is not showing up. I submitted on July 4 in the
morning and again evening.

I also played the game on my laptop. The program seem to crash right
where I should be able to post my game. Note I have played most my game
using the laptop including the game I posted on July 3 2003.

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood, and some no name is trashing GROSS on a new thread. Or is that a disgruntled experienced player doing nick tricks? Whatever the case may be, it is either someone trash talking or some talking trash. Just my 2 BC...

Thats not cool someone with no points shouldn't be trashing people I mean I have no points but I don't go around dissing people.

Darth Bob, Gerakkin: one thing you should know about the internet. It's a microcosm of life these days. Accomplish something. Get to #1 at anything, and the trash talking idiots will come for you. Just look at the olympics. Someone wins a race "Steroids". Soon as we became #1 in the metaverse, they all came for us. Come's with the territory. I don't know if it's someone playing the name game or a newbie. Don't care. I'm just gonna play on.

Black Smoke. Cari is usually good about fixin those things. Perhaps you should rereg your player with your same id #'s and it might refresh its memory? Ask Cari about that before you try it.

Update from Galaxy Gamma Delta.

Dang minor civs. I couldn't find em fast enough to bankrupt em before they got diplo translators... They shall pay for their insolence. And dearly. But I have the Arceans trapped in a corner. They'll be mine soon. HEHE.

The guy is simply a troll, Darth. Hang around enough boards and you'll see plenty of 'em. The only tactic I have seen that works is starvation - if you don't respond, they give up and go away. Yes, the guy's a loser with no cred (hasn't even got the GAME, for goodness' sake!) but there's no way you'll be able to tell HIM that. No sheep for him.
