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.

Lets give a big Big Survey ship of doom welcome to the Pirates of the Southern Seas!!!!

They bring their own fleet to the survey ship and will be pirating the southern seas of the metaverse as per their exclusive franchise. Though I'm sure they won't mind if we give em some help down there against a certain bear's arch nemisis.

LONG LIVE G.R.O.S.S LONG LIVE THE PIRATES OF THE SOUTHERN SEAS. Write up to follow.... teehee.

Wombat, Be careful now. I hear Dr. Quinn is on the prowl. She might just think you look damn good in crimson too. Hope Gunner's wife doesn't find out. I hear the mwc is already protesting to take her reruns off the air because she no longer has wholesome values.


Welcome aboard. I'll be writing a lil write up to celebrate our new members and first place tomorrow. It was a glorius battle, 2 full fleets closing in to finish off the doom when all of a sudden, here comes the pirates of the southern seas to save the day.

Complete with ships from every sci-fi show I can think of and transformers hehe.

Welcome also to our newest marauder Andy Stow!!!!!!!! Welcome aboard the Survey ship of doom. I believe the sun on the beach program is running in the holodeck courtesy of our Southern Pirates. Stop by the armory and get yourself a good cutlass.

With that it's getting late and I'm off to bed. Arrrgh Mateys.

Yes Dr. Quinn, I'll tell that cute and cudly drop bear you wish to give him a special thanks for your "awakening".

Surther, Plephart and idleprocess stayed the course in the trusty old 'Manifest Destiny', the MWC's excalibur class flagship.

"These new warp coils are rockin'!", exclaimed Plephart.

Surther gave the orders, "Warp 8!"

The ship effortlessly accelerated even further. "We're at 85% Captain." said Zoshan at the controls.

"That's good enough for...." Just then a streak of light passed the Manifest Destiny.

"What in God's dark universe was that?!?" Blurted idle.

"Sir we're being hailed."

Surther said to the comm officer, "On screen."

"BWAHAHAHAAHA!" came a sinister laugh, it was KitWarrior.

Pontius stepped in front of kit on screen and with a glint in his eye, said, "Tag, you're it!"

"They've ended the com." said the ensign.

"Radar show's they've circled and are now on our 6!" Exclaimed Plephart.

"Take her to warp 10!" commanded Surther.

Again, with little effort the ship broke warp 9, 9.5, 10!

At this speed, the plasma vapors trailing the Manifest Destiniy glowed bright red. Trailing 1000's of miles behind the flagship was a light green streak of super heated plasma.

Smiling ear to ear, the crew sat back and watch the radar on screen showing the pirate ship lagging more and more behind.

Then as suddenly as they appeared the first time, the pirate ship passed the Manifest Destiny as though it were standing still!

"Holy good Lord in heaven!!!" Exclaimed Surther as he stood up at the helm.

Trailing the pirate ship was a band of super heated plasma glowing red, blue, green and gray. The interweaving color bands mesmerized the MWC crew for a brief moment.

Surther looking at the main screen paused and said mechanically,

"They've gone plaid."

Everyone knows that pirate ships are fast. They have to be. Life depends on it. Nothing can catch the Doom when it is being fed some good fuel!

I thought the tradition was 5 PURE evil games. Though a think we should vote on a Hurley exception if he wants in (maybe 49k?).

Darth Bob - Just curious, what's the interest in being a Senator? I have no objection, but I think you owe us two more games. ;)

LOL

Cypher, the Tradition is 5 evil be they chaotic or pure. Or a vote of the Senate.... But again in either case, you have to ask. If you never ask, I assume you don't want to be a senator.



We're gonna make some adjustments for size soon. 5 Gigantics would carry more weight than 5 tiny's etc. But everyone has an equal voice in this empire.

I would suppose senatorship would also be based on how Pontius feels about whether you earn it or not. In my case, I was the only automatic senator. And then the old rules was 5 evil games. Afterwards, me and Pontius have been talking on upping the requirements. Nothing much got futher, because our attention turned to other things. In the meantime, seems liek the old rule has been laxed and it's been given to those that earned it, in other ways (i.e. high scores, activley posting, etc...).

Also, Pontius has told me long ago that we're not going to get too 'political' here within the empire. Yet I am sure that in the future, the need will arise (possibly) for a more 'formal' system of earning senatorship.

Actually it's the entire senate, not just me. But only in the case of those who don't auto qualify. (which the auto requirement may need some revision)

Do you guys have ANY friggin' idea how long it takes to read this entire thread?!? (Give you a hint: DAYS!) I've got to say I'm impressed! :CONGRAT:

While I've hit the GalCiv site daily, I've not monitored the board much for a while. G.R.O.S.S. was just starting out then. I wondered then how you'd fare. All I can say is: WELL DONE!

(Of course, any empire based on Calvin & Hobbes would virtually have to reach the top. Calvin wouldn't accept anyhing less.)

So congrats to all you G.R.O.S.S.ers! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:

Thank you thank you thank you all. I'd like to use this opportunity to thank my mother who once said to me, "Kit, don't bring toads into the house!" Without her encouragement, I would never have been able to pilot my trusty corvette. Also, I'd like to thank my androids, Max, Twoforty, and Rainjah. I don't think I would have ever gotten that zero-G toilet to work without their patience and understanding. Of course... my mother never said those words... not to me at least. She... my father... I'm sorry... I can't continue. (:(

Pontius, I simply have no interest in competing in the metaverse. I doubt that you'd remember, but we've had a similar conversation before, along with some C & H talk. That was way back in the first few pages of this thread, IIRC. I'm content to watch on the sidelines. Just know that at least some of the "civilians" are pulling for you! (And I DO appreciate the offer.)

Again congrats!
